    What a game. Yordan. Dude is amazing and so much fun to watch.

    This team is e En Fuego.

    After that awful start... What a comeback to break their hearts

    Although it wasn’t quite the level of the 8th inning comeback the Astros had in ‘17 against the Twins…. It gave me similar vibes. A comeback like this against a division opponent is one of those games that sticks with you.

    Having a dangerous lineup is one thing. But having a dangerous lineup who knows they can comeback from significant deficits against good teams is very scary for the rest of the league.

    Ohtani beats Boston tonight to bring Astros within 0.5 for best AL record (tied in Loss column)

    Giants trail 6-3 late vs STL. Houston is only one game behind for best MLB record.

    Astros' run-diff is way ahead of everybody !!!

    Just like that, a 5 game winning streak. It’s like Baltimore never happened! Of course I’d like to win these last 5 heading into the break, but I’ll settle for 3-2.

    Gosh that Yankees series is gonna be electric.

    Great job by Framber hanging in there. Game could have spiraled but he got a few more critical innings.

    Great game tonight, was not super happy with the IF defense/positioning tonight but wow what a comeback. Look forward to watching the replay tomorrow.

    Good recovery by the Frambulator. Not a great start at all to the game. At the end of the day, we're all sexual chocolates and he's no different. @IBTL @Nook @Tomstro .

    Reading back through for the game reactions, just wanted to say thank you for being a voice of ****ing reason and pointing out the game was in fact, NOT OVER.

    The counting chickens crowd drives me nuts!

    It's my favorite quality about him, and it's also why IMO he is the undisputed ace and best pitcher on the team. He is able to give us something even when he has nearly nothing out there. Those 5 innings were gold, don't let anyone tell you different.

    Have they been that bad? Murphy has a 1.3 WAR and a .734 OPS, for a catcher that's not terrible. Chapman has been worse offensively than you would expect from him, but he's sporting a 2.3 WAR.

    I don't know ... Christmas or ripping the hearts out of the A's and their fans?

    Those peacocks were strutting early in the game weren't they? LOL

    Its ok Framber was one of those weird days.

    Air F'n Yordan. Just wow. Thanks Dodgers!

    Lets just go ahead and run off another mini win streak before they break that would be fun.

    Maybe I'm just blind but is there an mlb thread a la the dish? Because I really want to see everyone's take on Bauer being a scumbag. I realize this doesn't go here but not sure where it goes

    Edit: Found it

    Great comeback Stros!

    I was watching a miserable Twins game in Target Field but when I saw the scoreboard flip from 6-6 to 8-6 Houston I yelled "F^(% Yeah!" which took several people sitting next to me by surprise.. My friend looked concerned but then looked at me and said "Astros took the lead? " I said "Yep!"
