    Stros avoid the sweep and offset yesterday's performance.

    Win the series tomorrow and offset other previous foolishness.

    Nice win by the Stros. What sucks is because the Twins have a dispute with Bally Sports I couldn’t even watch the games here.

    Yeah - I have been rightfully critical of his arm and injury issues, but he has some amazing range in CF…

    Things should stabalize with a Yordan hot streak or an Altuve hot streak or a Tucker hot streak or a Bregman hot streak… or if any other player in this lineup can supplement or not all suck at the same time.

    There are stretches like this for every team… where the ball doesn’t seem to find a gap no matter how hard (or not hard) it’s hit. But still rare to have every star go through a slump at the exact same time and have to depend on your 7-9 type guys to try and salvage something.

    But this is still a damn deep lineup presuming no hidden injuries. One that can even carry a 1 year past retirement player who can still get a hold of one in a blue moon.

    ERA gradually becoming un-suck.

    ERA by month:
    March - 3.00
    April - 7.45
    May - 1.35
    June - 0.00

    He needs to be sub-2.50 to justify his contract -- and he might be there before season's end if Espada behaves with sense.

    His xFIP, which is supposed to represent expected era independent of fielding and luck, is 1.99, the lowest of his career.

    Interesting lineup today

    Giving Altuve the day off is probably needed

    If you had told me before the season we would have Pena cleanup and Meyers 5th, i'm really not sure if I would have thought **** really went wrong with injuries, or if I would have said hell yeah if we get those two guys hitting like top players we will be rolling

    Of course i'd have been wrong either way

    Came here for Astros talk. Stayed for the “Six Pack” nod.
