Who would have thought that Hader, Pressly and Abreu would end the season with a combined ERA over 3.50.
Please no, if that happens our post season chances go down considerably. What is worrisome, is that he has preexisting knee problems.
4 runs on top of the ninth was not something you'd expect. just like how no one thought kaleb ort was going to give up back-to-back-to-back homerun against the fathers.
Okay so, postgame said Arrighetti had some leg cramps in the 6th inning. Still doesn't make sense to pitch Neris 6x in 9 days.
We didn’t have Yordan for a lot of that game and our bullpen had a bad night. I think even some of the best teams lose games like this. Angels got hot at the right moment.
Astros playoff magic numbers: 2 Seattle 3 Kansas City 3 Detroit 3 Minnesota We own tiebreakers over Kansas City and Detroit only. Given a meltdown by getting swept by Seattle and then going on to lose the division, that would mean we went 1-2 vs Cleveland and Seattle won out (as an example). That would mean 2 of the 3 teams between Kansas City, Detroit and Minnesota going 5-1 to knock us completely out of the playoffs. Losing out all 6 games means that record would have to be 4-2. So my guess is the Astros have roughly a 96-98% chance of making the playoffs right now.
