    Astros haven't won a season series vs Rays since 2008, IIRC.

    Wow 11 years and they can’t beat this middle of the road garbage team?

    What are you looking for? In 5 games he's 4-0 and this was the 1st game he gave up more than 2 earned runs. I didn't see the play but apparently Altuve made a bad play than wasn't an error but extended an inning and two more runs scored after. He's a Keuchel type pitcher, he's going to give up a lot of soft contact, sometimes that soft contact will find holes. He's always going to rely on great defense.

    Not much for yelling at umps, but if you do...you better be right. I have no issue with Reddick saying his piece in a high leverage moment on a 3-2 count.

    Fat ass obviously didn't want the Stros to potentially tie the game and have this go into extra innings. Probably hungry.

    The expectation is 5-0 with a 0 era.

    Might want to let Boone know about all of this biased umpiring they're getting...



    It happens to everybody.

    That’s what I really hate he doesn’t deserve to have that cool strut

    Well yeah it happens to everybody, some more than others. How many ****ings have we got since that incident in mid July for the Yanks? I can tell you this I like Boone more than I did before watching that.

    I guess Hall of Famer isn’t good enough.

    He didn’t look too good in his first start. In that game he was originally charged 5 runs but a few days later they changed a hit to an error and so he was only charged 2. In his last start before this bad one today, he gave up 10 hits in 6.2 innings. He has now given up 16 hits and 7 runs in his last 12 innings.

    He looked pretty good in starts 2 and 3. Very average in 1,3,and 4.

    I do believe that Greinke will be fine yet it’s ok to call it what it is right now too. Yes he is 4-0 but a bit fortunate too. I do expect him to turn it on though and Im still incredibly stoked that he’s here, he’s an amazing pitcher. He’s a little off his game at the moment.

    Yeah it will be very cool when he starts pitching like one for us.

    Holy crap yall act like Greinke has been lights out for us, the simple fact is he hasn’t and it’s ok to say that. You can’t say this is the Greinke you thought we were getting but that doesn’t mean we aren’t glad to have him and he will get it together.

    Lots and lots of blame to go around for this one, if you're so inclined.
