    What an unbelievable season. Stros are about to go 30-9 on the road. We couldn't buy a series victory in '15.

    The home O is improving and we're winning while missing half our rotation.

    This team already has pretty decent playoff experience and success.

    Dynasty on deck.

    That was pretty boneheaded.

    Let Gurriel have another chance to bat with runners on...

    Exactly. You have to do that sometimes. Even when it doesn't work out, you definitely try something like that when you have a 7-run lead.

    McCann robbed...

    Glad we got another run.

    Like the try by Los, but would have liked Yuli to bat again with guys on. So greedy!

    Agree. We didn't see it, but I'm sure he was hustling all the way.

    I'm on MLB.tv so I don't see anything, but wasn't the catcher blockign without the ball?

    I have zero problem with Correa going for that especially when it's 7-0. The pitcher wasn't paying attention at all.

    I dont understand what Hinch is challenging. Blocking of the plate?

    Yes, I assume so. That's what I thought live and then MLB.tv took us to commercial. It was close on replay though...hard to overturn IMO

    He's bored and greedy. Wanted a Yuli at bat with men on.

    With guys on base? I'll take Yuli, Marwin, Correa and then the others.

    For everyone saying that Correa going for that was great, I don't understand your thought process.

    Yuli has 4 RBI already this game.

    He's hitting a crazy percentage with bases loaded this year.

    He's on a major hot streak.

    Play the stats. Give him a chance to let others score. You're already up 7. Not smart.

    And now Correa hurt himself likely. Eh.

    Close, but I like the way it was called. Hope Cora's hand is ok.
