myrecordwashorrible Posted September 10 Report Posted September 10 11 with 30 games (15 for each team) combined is a pretty good cushion. Just need to avoid a 3 or 4 game losing streak and the Rangers not have a short heater. Don't think either team has the overall pitching to string together a long winning streak. We shall see. rupert3 and AggiesAreWe 2 Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted September 11 Report Posted September 11 Astros are now a 1/2 game behind the White Sox for the American League's 2 seed. A 2 seed that will likely have less than 85 wins I.would assume is not the norm. Most important thing is to simply qualify for the playoffs. rupert3 and AggiesAreWe 2 Quote
rupert3 Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 Abreu loses it but not all his fault. Left too many on base. The way we started off with bullpen was weird to me but maybe I just don't know baseball. But they all pitched well just no run support. I thought Pecko pitched good and the defense made some really nice plays to back the pitchers. Oh well still 2 1/2 up and still could be 3 befor the night is over, Move on Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 Arlington lost so lead is still three (actually 4 with tiebreaker) Magic number is now 10 with 14 to play. rupert3 1 Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Astros fall tonight 3-2. Only 5 hits on the night. Rangers up 6-1 early in the game over the Diamondbacks. rupert3 1 Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Astros drop the finale with Rays 14-4. A sweep at this point is not good. Not good at all! Hold a game and a half lead. Rangers playing now. rupert3 1 Quote

Hold a game and a half lead. Rangers playing now. I agree. No time to be swept. Got to back this up with a little win streak starting Tuesday at home vs. KC. 6 game home stand (3 vs. KC, 3 vs. Atlanta) then finish season on the road with 2 at Seattle and 4 at Athletics. I think it's going to take winning at least 7 of last 12 to win the division. rupert3 and myrecordwashorrible 2 Quote
rupert3 Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 I hope this nis not the end of the year crater that we have had in the past. In fact I was hoping the cratering happened the first part of the season. I believe we still have a slight chance of being number 2 seed. Wishful thinking. Quote
baddog Posted September 13 Author Report Posted September 13 Astros got their butt handed to them by the best team in the AL. Time for a win streak. rupert3 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Arlington won Lead is 1 (2 counting tiebreaker) with 12 to play. Magic number remains 10. rupert3 1 Quote

myrecordwashorrible Posted September 16 Report Posted September 16 Just now, AggiesAreWe said: Houston with a 4-2 win Quick ball game. Took less than 2 1/2 hours. Time to get greedy and go on a little win streak. rupert3 and AggiesAreWe 2 Quote

rupert3 Posted September 16 Report Posted September 16 Hunter 10 Ks in 5 Win Pena 3 for 4 with 2 dingers and Hader 26 for 26 saves. Bull pen pretty good tonight oh and Alvarez with number 39 Arlington leading in top 8 4-2 Quote

baddog Posted September 16 Author Report Posted September 16 Javier slated for tomorrow’s game. Great time for Peña and Alvarez to come out of their slumps. Abreu impressed. Great win. Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted September 16 Report Posted September 16 Astros tonight: Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez: 4-for-6, three homers, four RBIs. Rest of Astros: 0-for-22. Quote

I sure wasn’t aware of the rest of the team stat. It’s weird how that works because they were both slumping….Alvarez on his homers. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted September 16 Report Posted September 16 Houston still with a 2 game lead (includes tiebreaker) with 11 to play. Magic number is 9. navydawg31 1 Quote
