    Devo is flirting with major danger on that changeup in the zone.

    Not enough innings for the bullpen to keep sharp.

    Devo on 0-2 should be unhittable.

    Scouting reports: Don’t take hittable pitches and fall behind in the count on him.

    Lol this crowd is 3x better than what the Rockets have for the freaking playoffs

    As of right now this is easily more of a baseball city than a basketball one

    Was this a captain obvious response?

    Of course this city is far more passionate about the Astros right now... why wouldn’t they be? Do you know how much love a deep/emotional playoff run along with a title causes between a city and a team?

    It's been that way for a long time. The Astros had to be dog s**t for years before the fans truly bailed.

    Thats what winning a championship does. In the mid to late 90's Rockets were the heart of the city. Summit/Compaq was amazing

    City started to fall in love the year before in 1993, with Hakeem taking the next step to becoming an MVP candidate, and them competing in an emotionally draining 7 game series vs Seattle.

    The current Rockets don’t have that attachment... yet. Maybe an emotional playoff series vs the Warriors gets them there.
