    The real goal this season, 2 down, 61 to go, baby steps

    The bullpen managed to successfully defend a lead in 2 straight games, that's pretty nice.

    Fowler is black!!! Like him even more.

    Great first 2 games to open the season. If we reduce our errors and pitching improves to average, we'll win 70 minimum. 90 losses would be monumental improvement.

    Fowler and Hoes are hitting .500, Carter is at .143 and Williams ERA is 0.00.

    We'll he liked him when he thought he was a white guy, he just likes him even more now. If you remember black guys on the Astros used to be a rare sight.

    This is Jeremy Lin.net, so we should be used to folks identifying with people of their race. As long as he doesn't start hating on Springer to prop up Fowler and Hoes i'm good.

    Didn't say only cause he's black.

    There are "extra likeable" comparisons across sports... white RBs, black QBs, great white hope, Lin and Yao, white star b-ball player. It's understandable people will gravitate toward their own, especially in unique circumstances.

    Race debates go here. Keep this about the series or get an exit pass.

    Thought Fowler was some up and coming young player, but now remember him from the Rockies. Hope he does well.

    We have a couple of great prospects now playing, don't we? Besides Cozart.

    Isn't fowler highly streaky? don't be surprised when he goes 0-22 in one stretch.
