AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Astros lose 1-0 on a two out bases loaded walk. smh rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Walk off walk in 10th by Detroit 1-0 absolutly crazy. I thin 28 scoreless innings for Stros but still 1 1/2 up. Good pitching and defense by both teams until the 10th. Quote
spidersal Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Well the Astros just wasted excellent pitching performances minus Ort who has been a weak link all season Now 28 innings without a run. Pretty pathetic! Quote
baddog Posted August 20 Author Report Posted August 20 Diaz was safe at home and that would have won the game. Brown getting out of the runner on third with no outs was amazing. rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 The record for scoreless inning streak is 48 byth Cubs and the old Philidelphia Athletics. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Saw this statement on X. I tend to agree with it. About time to relieve the stress and just see how the Astros baseball season is going to wind up--good or bad--and accept their fate. Injuries have decimated and the long season has ground them down rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 It is unusual for first and second place teams to be in a slump at the same time. IMO I still think it's because of all the lineup changes etc. that the Stros just can't gel. I still think and hope they can still win the division. I don't think a wild card will be out of our division. Quote

I don't think a wild card will be out of our division. I am pretty confident there will be. Three teams make wild card. Currently, Seattle is behind only the Yankees (1 game) and tied with the Red Sox. They have a 2 1/2 game lead over the Royals and 3 1/2 game lead over Cleveland. Therefore, Houston currently has a 1/2 game lead over Yankees, 1 1/2 over Boston, 4 games over KC and 5 games over Cleveland. I don't see KC or Cleveland or Tampa Bay or Texas over taking any of the two for a wild card spot. 36 games left to play, so lot's can happen and the trend of late isn't good but I believe Houston will make playoffs as division winner or wild card.

AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Well this wasn't the start we needed. Framber has given up 5 runs on 3 hits, walked 3 and has yet to get a batter out in the first inning. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Trammell is injured and being replaced in CF by Melton. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Inning finally over. 6-0 Tigers. Framber may not last 4 innings. Was a 33 pitch first inning for him. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 Astros lose 7-2. Framber ended up going 5 innings. Gave up 6 in the first, 1 in the 2nd. Mariners lost as well so Houston still up 1 1/2. rupert3 1 Quote

baddog Posted August 22 Author Report Posted August 22 Sorry for the late post. Didn’t know how to act. Lol. When bats come alive, good things can happen. Alexander has been very effective. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 Yordan Alvarez 3-3 tonight with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI. The Astros slugger is 5-7 during his rehab assignment. This is his second game with the Hooks rupert3 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 The Astros put Taylor Trammell on the injured list with a “cervical muscle strain” and recalled Brice Matthews from Triple-A Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 McCullers got out of a bases loaded jam in the first. Gave up a hit and 2 BB's. Did get 2 K's. McCullers has walked entirely too many batters this season. baddog 1 Quote
baddog Posted August 22 Author Report Posted August 22 Can somebody please tell me why a pitcher can’t throw to first? I’m glad it happened, but it’s a mystery to me. Quote
