All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 6-21 Jake Odorizzi (R) vs. Keegan Akin (L) 6:05 6-22 Zack Greinke (R) vs. Jorge Lopez (R) 6:05 6-23 Jose Urquidy (R) vs. Thomas Eshelman (R) 6:05
I noticed Astros Scoreboard lists the second start as TBD. Perhaps there is some thought of giving Javier a start since he hasn't had any work lately and skipping Greinke to give him rest as the innings leader.
Well, since I predicted we would never lose again this year I'm gonna go with W W and what's that? Another W baby. @J.R. @Tomstro @Yung-T @Jontro
The last thing I need to see the Astros fix is the play down to their competition. If they can beat up on the bad teams like they do the elite ones, then I am fully feeling good. The sweeps from the Tigers, Rockies, and Rangers still feel gross.
The next 10 games are a very good opportunity to start putting some distance in the standings. Dusty and the boys are aware of that opportunity. Rally the troops and handle business here. By the way guys if you haven’t voted for Altuve, Gurriel, and Correa for the ASG.... please do so. These guys have had really great years and are very deserving. Top of the AL and hopefully we can take off and never look back in the standings.
I'm "meh" on Astros playing in the All Star game this year. They are going through this stretch with only 1 day off between now and the break. Anyone that makes it will be roundly booed on national TV when they get an at bat. Get some much needed rest and keep it going in the second half. Send Pressly as our rep so he can get his work in. Astros can then point out how they have the best offense in MLB but no offensive players represented.
Castro since Phislammajamma says that Carlos Correa is "the whole team" could you please change the 'Stros starting pitchers for this series to: 6-21 Carlos Correa vs Keegan Akin 6-22 Carlos Correa vs Jorge Lopez 6-23 Carlos Correa vs Thomas Eshelman
We don't play any conte..... . We don't play any contemporary saxophone in sporting events is what I was going to say.
A's play the Rangers 7 of their next 10. I wouldn't expect the Astros to run away with the division any time soon.
