    I guess I haven't been paying much attention to the voices in the booth.....but when did it change to Eschenfelder (sp?) and Berkman?

    Our batters certainly took offense at the bullpen getting all the attention lately.

    I like your enthusiasm but pump the brakes a little. Nothing is certain once we get to the postseason. With that said, I like our chances. Would dearly love to beat the Dodgers again.

    So, stupidly, this source from the official MLB site seems to be wrong. It's terribly outdated. Must have been a cut-and-paste job that was forgotten about a long time ago.

    As other have mentioned, the highly memorable J.R. Towles once had 8 RBIs in a game for the Astros. This is the only thing I could find mentioning this, and I wouldn't have found it without knowing that name ahead of time.

    I just spent waaay too much time trying to find up-to-date single game team records or a way to filter them out of all the data that's out there. I failed. Can somebody show me how to find the most RBIs by a single Astro in a game in Astros history on Baseball-reference or Fangraphs or whatever? Or how to find every MLB player that's had 8 RBIs in a game. Or just how to filter out any single game records that haven't been cherry picked and put into specific articles like this one. Ugh.

    I wanted that Jeff Jarrett lookalike JR Towles knocked off the top of the single game RBI record list for so damn long. I really wish Yuli got over 8 today but I'll take the tie.

    I do think home field will be so important when it comes to playing the Yankees.

    Agreed. I'm just not as confident in Houston playing in NY with the Yankees having home field advantage.

    Unlikely, but I would prefer to avoid them all together.

    1. Astros
    2. Yankees
    3. Twins
    W1 Indians
    W2 A's

    Best case scenario.... A's win the wild card game and we pound them in the ALDS. Yankees lose to Twins in ALDS and we face Twins in ALCS.

    Hammer down

    We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.

    I do think people are overlooking the Twins though. They may not have the best starting pitching, but they have an elite offense.

    Dear Dallas Keuchel, this is how you pitch in a contract year.
