I guess Mike Fiers realized he was pitching for his job and has looked good over his last start and early so far in this start.

He's keeping the ball down more, but still throws fat over the plate and a little up in the strike zone. HRs have given him fits. Astros at least give run support.

It seems like Everytime a team gets close we pull away by 5 runs. This team is so so good. Let's hope we can do the same in the playoffs

Astros are becoming the team that other teams dread playing. Everyone stepping up. Even Peacock, a converted middle relief, is doing great. Not sure when McHugh comes back but it will make us even stronger with all the run support.

My Astros got their butt spanked last night 13-3. Hopefully bounce back strong today.

Musgrove is assuring he will be sent down to the minors once we get a couple of starters back from the DL. I always thought he would pan out as a #3 or 4 starter but it looks like I was wrong, he is a dumpster fire!

I'm impressed with Paulino and Peacock. What happened to Morton? Need another lefty in the pen. Not crazy about Sipp, although he has his days.

Paulino, Peacock, and Martes have all stepped in and done well. Morton is fighting an oblique strain but should be back around the all star break. I have a gut feeling we make a play for Gerrit Cole and Tony Watson (lefty reliever) from Pittsburgh. I have little to no trust in Sipp coming into a tight situation in the playoffs.

Thanks. I try to keep up but don't do a good job sometimes. I'm a strong believer in lefty relief unless your starter is a lefty. Could be why I'm not a manager.

The bullpen is terrible.  Why so much micro-managing by Hinch?  Let the starter start the inning and then go get him if he starts to struggle.  Will Harris was just awful tonight.  Starters used to go eight and then you got the closer.  

Grand slams are killing us. Hard to overcome.

    • Not many schools, if any in our area, have fall baseball teams. Kids play for teams outside of school during the fall if they want to.
    • I don't completely disagree. Individual drills, running, lifting, etc. I agree are perfectly fine. This incident involved a padded practice where a kid was injured. I just think it would be best for an AD to have the Varsity athletes currently participating in another sport just sit out. It's an activity with a much higher risk of injury. We don't see basketball kids practicing/playing while football season is going on do we? No, because no AD would allow that. Let's have the same common courtesy for the other sports too.
    • Too many people haven’t heard “Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog” by Johnnie Cash.  Way too many flakey people in this world. Was she fighting dogs to death across state lines? Lots of the people who would condemn Noem  had absolutely no problem with Vick. I guess politics is a whole nother animal. 
    • I have some friends whose “fur baby” bit somebody in the face because “she wasn’t feeling good and he was “in her face.”” The young man needed three stitches on his chin. She still growls and snaps at people all of the time… she’s a cocker spaniel with a bad attitude and she bites.    Those same friends are expediting their first actual skin baby this summer… they’re not worried at all, and I’m certain that they’ll be shocked when the dog maims their baby.     God gave us dominion over the animals for instances like this. 
    • No argument in your rationale however politics isn’t rational. Said people vote. Those votes don’t have to be approved by a jury deciding if a voter has a valid reason for his beliefs. There are things that I firmly believe but I would never say them, even in private (what is private anymore?) if I ever intended to run for office. It doesn’t matter if my private thoughts could be proven 100% as correct, it still might very likely lose voters and an election.  Maybe you missed the Trump presidency……
