    Welp, Royals 6 outs away.

    Same Houston needed last game. KEEP HOPE ALIVE! :grin:

    Need base runners first. One swing alone won't cut it.

    Well it's after the 7th inning so if the Astros are going to do it, then now is the time...

    Right??

    He had struggled at the end of the series... but he is a legit ace and a big reason you didn't why you do everything to wrap up game 4.

    Cueto has been sensational.

    We missed our opportunity to close it out in Game 4.

    Astros just don't have it tonight. Outside of Valbuena, we have yet to even make good contact.

    Talk about a costly learning experience if they loose this game. If we don't blame game 4 on how the bullpen was utilized then you gotta say the best team won this series when it's over. No way to have the cake and eat it too

    GAme 4 and 5 shows that THIS Astros are the SAME AStros of old. Until we do otherwise, they are loser.

    There are some forum members (the bullies) that will take their frustration with us instead of players, who are the ones that CHOKED, but we all know who they are.

    There are 2 players that showed that we can build with them, K and McCullers, but Altuve, Springer and Correa still need to show us they can do it. This series, they DID NOT do it.

    Now, i still like the year we had, it was a good year, but Altuve and Springer disappeared, they did a great MAGIC TRICK.

    THIS ! And let's not give him a pass in game 3. Absolutely gave both games away. You bring in a guy on 1 days rest if you have to.....this isn't breaking rocks on a chain gang.

    I forgot about Milwood pitching a 1 hitter in the 99 playoffs. Think the only hit he gave up was a Caminiti homer

    I honestly suggest you find another place to call out your loser team.

    Is Yost going to borrow Harris and let him give up 4 straight hits, or is a Hinch exclusive?

    BTW Kirkjian was saying he so far has not found another relief pitcher in an elimination game that was allowed to give up 4 straight hits by the team leading. In 100+ years so far his staff has 0 times it has happened.

    If you're going to complain at least get your facts straight. The Astros won game 3.

    Stros still have a chance, albeit slimmest of slim.
