2026 Astros

I lost count of how many times they left the bases loaded or how many total left on.  Hitting was great just couldn't score. I'll take it.

An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.

I thought McCullers did well after the HR on the 3rd pitch of the game. King can’t throw the 3rd strike to end a game. It’s probably the toughest strike to throw, but it needs to be done.

2-0 combined 1 hitter this was one Stros really needed.  Denzenzo 2 great catches and other defensive plays.  No no thru 7 by Arrighetti,  not perfect but pretty goodwith walks,  King saves.  What a difference a day makes. Go Stros

Astros pitching was awesome tonight. Arighetti with a no-no in 7.1 innings. Dezenzo with a fantastic catch in left field. Paredes with a solo shot.

Forgot about Vasquez’s pickoff at 1st. What a throw.

And Walker stretch catch of off throw at first for third out.  Shewmake impresses me btw.

Wow a 2 game streak 4-1 win and the Boot.  4 solo Dingers,  Teng pitches a 2 hit shut out in 6 then BP comes in and makes it scary interesting.

Alvarez Altuve Cole and Waker Dingers

Houston loses 8-0 to Arlington.

More importantly (and true to form for this season) Altuve is put on IL with a Grade 2 oblique strain.

Makes 15 on the current IL. 19 total.

Abreu keeps you on the edge of your seat. That was a close win and I will take it after the tough loss last night due to rainout.

Astros pitching is improving.

In the first 30 games of season, Houston had a 6.2 team ERA.

Last 20 games the ERA has been 4.2. Two run difference in ERA. That's a good trend.

Now offensively, Houston was averaging a little over 5 runs a game in the first 30 games. In the last 20, run production has been 3.4 per game.
