    I think that ball was probably 50-50 on being a home run, but that was an awesome play. This was probably the best Astros win of the season.

    People simply can't hit Cosart. His walks can be frustrating but otherwise teams can't string together hits to do any major damage.

    In the minors he only gave up 22 HR in 447 Innings, and so far hasn't given up any in the majors.

    In the Minors he never allowed better than a .250 BA, and this year it was down to .213. It's a pedestrian .211 so far in the show.

    I really don't care if he K's people. I'd like him to work deeper into the game, but even if he can only give you 6 regularly you take it, because you want to get as many innings as possible out of him, instead of wasting his talents in the pen.

    Poor Chris Young. Having a rough season, barely misses 2 walk-offs on back to back nights.

    Great job by the defense saving the bullpen from another loss.

    And oddly one blew a save and the other was a homerun robbing catch away from a loss.

    Does it seem odd to anyone else that Wallace is batting 2nd and Villar is batting 9th? It would make more sense to me to bat 1-Villar, 2-Grossman, 3-Altuve, 4-Wallace/Corporan (he's 4th today). I'd like for him to be getting more at bats.

    It was one of two plays ESPN was debating as the web gem of the night.

    If it's not routine, he doesn't make the play.
