    First place with number 3, 4 and 6 hitter hitting below .200.
    Those guys are GOING TO HIT, imagine how good this team is going to be the whole year.

    A win today will have us on pace for over 106 wins on the year.

    Crazy to think how tough we will be once those guys start hitting normally. I think a 100 win season is right there for the taking, barring any additional major injuries.

    Amazing.

    I thought it was closer to the All-Star break? Still, these guys are not going all hit below the Mendoza Line all season.

    Life is good right now and could only get better.

    Correa waiting in the wings, lowrie healing, young pitching should just get better. Future is bleak!

    Even with that stretch where nothing was going the Astros' way, the Angels still can't find a way to cut the Astros' lead in the division.

    shout out to Colby Rasmus who had a double and key RBI sac fly when the Astros were up 3-1--still tight. I think the guy has been really solid and barely gets mentioned.

    He maybe should've caught that ball at the wall that ended up being a double but he gets a pass since it didn't hurt them.

    Another series win! I hope this is the beginning of a Springer or Carter tear.

    Gotta figure at some point we're going to get picked up for some national tv game. As of now, we have 2 more MLBN games scheduled for the entire season...and that's it. No ESPN or Fox games scheduled.

    Awesome to take another series from a division rival. This team is so much fun.

    But....but.....but.....Luhnow and Crane will never build a winner! They're too cheap and will let all the good talent walk! We'll have a $15 million payroll for as long as they own the team!

    Couldn't resist. Sorry.

    Dallas had spotty command today but pitched out of trouble when he needed to.

    He has became such a great pitcher.

    I am excited to see McCullers go up against Detroit.

    bats showed up again and Keuchel was dealing. If we can get JJ watt to grow a beard we will win a super bowl.
