Yeah, Encarnacion has 39, with Donaldson and Bautista both having 40+. Stros still have a chance for twelve 10+ guys.... which would break the record they're currently tied with.
So with this win... A win tomorrow clinches the wild card and combined with a Rangers loss results in the division being determined Monday night. Let's do this
Feels weird winning this easy. Killing this road trip is just huge to give them some confidence to win on the road in the playoffs if we can get there.
Mentally, this I think is the equivalent of making the playoffs not only for the team, but the fans too. Mission accomplished. Total collapse averted. Clutch moments delivered. No matter how this plays out the team will go into next season with added mental attire. And things to work on, but all positive. In a way that bad stretch made it real for everyone on the team. They get it now. And to overcome it, well done.
And now that it's there for the taking, Go for the division! There really nothing to lose. Angels, Yankees, I don't care. It's just one more game. I am rooting for the Angels now and let's see if the Astros can get their part done.
There's a fair chance that the Astros play the Yankees Monday or Tuesday night in Houston. Shall we start a clutchfan section now for those who want to go if it does indeed happen?
Houston Astros @astros 14s15 seconds ago Lance McCullers will start tomorrow for the #Astros. Game is at 2:10 pm CT.
