A bases-loaded hit by pitch in Cleveland officially ended the Astros' bid for a ninth consecutive playoff berth.

Where is @Reagan with the conspiracy theory?

I give up!  Where?

It was the Rangers playing Cleveland. Did they hit the batter on purpose to help eliminate Houston?

Inquiring minds want to know. LOL

What a truly remarkable run by the Astros from 2017-2024: - 8 consecutive trips to the postseason - 2 World Series championships - 4 American League pennants - 7 straight trips to the ALCS - 7 AL West titles - 99 playoff games - Countless champagne celebrations

After finding out that they have been eliminated, Houston is already subbing out some starters with bench players.

Smith has come in to hit for Altuve and Caratini is in to hit for Parades.

Double post. Sorry

The team will be interesting next year. So many players for 9 positions. I think Blubaugh is doing fine.

Very difficult to stay on top. A healthy Astros team will be back on top again.
