Time for a Paul Skenes trade to the Astros 😂 

I wish and if only…

Dubón steps over the catcher’s tag to score. He would have been out had he slid. Astros smoking the A’s 9-0.

[rupert3]

13-3 win Smith 4 hits 2 dingers  and others contribute.  Too late for this old toot to watch.

Astros are only a half game back of the Yankees for 2nd best record in AL.

Also, Houston is now the top hitting team in the AL with a team batting average of .255. 5th best OBP (.320), 5th best slugging percentage (.398) 6th best OPS (.718) and 3rd fewest strikeouts (557).

Houston is 3rd in AL in pitching with a 3.40 ERA. They have the 2nd most quality starts with 35, given up the 3rd fewest HR with 71, has the most K's as a staff with 716 (only team in AL with 700 or more). Lead the league in opponent on base average with .217 and lead the league in WHIP with 1.14.

Houston doing all this with several key players on the IR.

LOL my bad sorry

For me, baseball is all about that top of the 8th tonight. Bases loaded with one out, get a strikeout and a ground out to get out of it with a 1 run lead. That’s exciting. Astros win 2-0, second straight shutout of the Phiilies. Peńa gets my vote for player of the game.

[rupert3]

Fantastic 2-0 shutout Hder 21 Saves 5 1/2 up  14 over 500. Carritini Dinger

Well said Baddog

AAW this time Mariners did lose lol

[AggiesAreWe]

Hader ties an Astro record with 21 consecutive saves to start the season. Ties Dave Smith's record.

Houston is currently top 3 in AL in both hitting and pitching. No other American League team is top 3 in both categories. 

Astros currently have the 2nd best record (47-33) in AL (Tigers have best record at 50-31) and 3rd best record in all of baseball.

Keeping that 2nd best record will allow Houston to not play in Wild Card round and have homefield for Divisional round.

Astros going for the sweep of the Phillies right now with Brown on the mound. Starts off the game with a K.
