2026 Astros

[spidersal]

Don’t be surprised if the Astros come in 3rd are 4th in their division this year. They are playing very poorly as of today!  Unless the BP gets better and they start hitting with runners on base it is going to get ugly

Houston not scoring with bases loaded and no outs in bottom of 10th was their doom.

Why call for a bunt with 2 outs in that situation?  Hader struck out the side in the ninth. When you can't beat a team that is worse than you then we habe a problem.

Exactly, then Allen getting gunned at home, and a man bunting with two outs has to beat out the throw.

Side note: If the Astros keep losing, they will never win another game. Lol

The Astros need to win 60% of their remaining games to finish with 84 wins. That might give them a shot at a playoff spot.

They will have about 50 games left at the trade deadline. If they are sitting with a win % around where they presently stand we could see a few guys moved. Wait, see, hope, complain, etc.

Well we got Swuuuuped enough said.  Move on🤨

Look at them Red Sox,  10-0 in last ten what a change.

Shhhh, again.  Astros played a game tonight, enough said???

[rupert3]

First Triple play against us I've seen in a long time.  Pretty good game and Bull pen made it scary interesting. 

[baddog]

Game is in the bottom of the 8th with 1 out. Astros ahead 5-2.  I don’t know if there’s a stat for this, but the Astros have to have one of the top, if not THE top 1-2-3 hitters.

[rupert3]

Alvarez number 34 Paredes back to back in bottom 8.   5-2 Sweep.

Alvarez leadin Triple Crown race right now batting .328

[myrecordwashorrible]

As of today Yordan Alvarez leads the AL in runs, hits, HR, batting average, RBI,  on base %, slugging, OPS (on base + slugging), total bases, and intentional walks. He leads a few other "stat nerd" categories as well. 

He's kinda good. 

[rupert3]

Probably trade him. LOL🫢

[AggiesAreWe]

9-5 comeback win.

Arrighetti had to leave after 2nd inning due to injury.

Astros used 7 pitchers.

[baddog]

Great come-from-behind win. That’s 4 in-a-row.

[AggiesAreWe]

4-1 win over White Sox. That's 5 straight wins.

Brown with a very good outing. 7 IP, 0 runs on just 2 hits, 7 K's and no walks.

[rupert3]

Very nice win.  Pena just keeps on hitting and great catch and throw to first, Rangers win again 7-1

 

[baddog]

Abreu sure likes to get you on the edge of your seat. Sousa saved the day on that situation. Astros are much better when Peña is leading off. I don’t understand subbing Allen late for Altuve. Guess that’s why I’m not a manager. lol. All in all, it was a good win.

[rupert3]

Major pitching collapse today 12-3.  Only bright ting Pena 2 dingers and Trammel 1.

Something has to be done with that bullpen or pitching in general.  That's baseball I guess.  Took series and win streak was goog while it lasted.

Mariners beating Arlington 5-3 in 7th tho
