    The Astros offense appears to be back on their bull poop.

    Well. Good to see the offense clicking again. Hopefully we sustain it this time and get past this shitty 2 weeks already

    I would like to see Marwin in LF and Stassi at DH. I've seen enough of FIsher, Marisnick, and Gattis for awhile.

    Astros employ 3 of the top 4 AL ERA leaders.

    Keuchel @ 25th equals, on average, his being a Top 2 starter on every team across the league.

    This rotation is unfairly filthy.

    45 baserunners, and 35 AB's with men in scoring position over the last 3. Hopefully this means the offense is back on track. Still not getting a damn thing from the Marisnick/Fisher tandem.

    Astros are going to be hard as hell to beat in best out of 7 format.

    THIS!! What exactly does a first base “coach” do? Chance to do his one or two actual elements of work this year and he failed.

    He was telling him. Gattis was oblivious

    And I highly doubt that he could have been overly demonstrative in trying to tell him

    Honestly I was just being more sarcastic regarding the whole idea of a first base coach. Granted I don’t know a lot about baseball. But what does a first base coach do exactly.

    Absolutely nothing that a player shouldn't be able to do on their own.

    It's gotta be so daunting for an opposing team entering a 4-game series against the Astros with that rotation. Mariners never got a break at all and that's WITHOUT facing Verlander.
