    Welp - now this game feels completely out of reach. 2017 Astros would’ve been like “no sweat.” These Astros ?? Ova !

    Minute Maid Park, where the away team clinches trophies and postseason spots.

    They said before the game that they'd be pulling out starters early.

    Why weren't you upset that Yordan batted at all? After all, he may have hit a double or triple and had to run the bases.

    This is a middle of the pack offense in the league/ nothing special, needs the pitching to be elite to win most of the time. It is what it is

    Most “elite” teams are that because of their pitching. I do agree that our offense is mind blowingly inconsistent. Yet we did win 100+ games. So I like our chances in the playoffs. Our pitching SHOULD take us to the WS. Once there, if the bats get hot we will win. The last 2 times the bats were cold. We are due.

    Astros should let the Phillies win as revenge on the Brewers for the Fiers and Gomez trade

    Finally.

    People here can't hit, the ones that can hit before they get here all of a sudden can't hit. What's going on????

    3rd in the AL for runs scored. 8th in MLB. Neither of which is middle of the pack. I'm not saying they're special because it's not. But it's a playoff proven team with an amazing pitching staff. There's really no reason to be down on any of it.
