2026 Astros

[rupert3]

Pena was robbed of HR but was triple I guess because right fielder was part of the field. when he caught it ober the fence abd dropped it on the field

Bullpen gave up 2 hits while recording 13 outs.  Sousa gave up two walks but the other 4 guys gave up no free passes. Good ball game.

I thought they were going to say he held it long enough for the out.

The stat shown in game about Alvarez having 8 homeruns against the Rangers while only 3 teams have 1 more on the season than he has by himself is outstanding. He is a one-man gang!

[rupert3]

Swept Arlington 7-3.  2.5 games up NICE Alvarez 4 for 5

Crane nixed Abreu trade

Peña gets my MVP vote for the series. It’s a tough call, but there it is. Maybe Aggie will have some stats to back my pick.

Alvarez hasn't hit a home run in 4 games. Probably won't hit one ever again. Hope the Astros can dump him before the trade deadline.

Anybody miss somebody??  IYKYK.

Great impersonation.

I don't miss him.

That's 6 consecutive wins and 11 of last 12.

It's the first time Houston has been 3 games above .500 since April 4 when they were 6-3.

I agree that Pena is the MVP of this series.

I really would like to see another arm on the roster but doesn't look like it will happen.

Astros have the worse farm system don’t have much to give… after all the big trades over the years.

I agree. Only way Houston gets another arm for this season is to give up a player or two on the current big league roster.

Yeah that’s the only way, tough spot Astros in. Month ago I was thinking Astros blowing up the roster..

Who do the Astros have they would be willing to move, what could you get for the player(s) you would give up, who would need/want them, and what teams could build a better package with so many teams in contention this year?  

We could see a shocker move, a "flyer" move for an old pitcher as a salary dump for another team, and possibly nothing big or nothing at all. Wait, see, and wonder.  Will be an interesting day across the league.

Personally, I don't see Houston making any moves.

They aren’t. To be honest I may be a little upset if they did… if Astros get into post season play we will scrape by and get bounced out round 1. With the Dodgers making another move with Skuball everyone is playing for runner up. Dodgers killed baseball, and I am so ready for a salary cap.

How about bring up Radel?

[rupert3]

May get Trevor Larnach

Nevermind Crane nixed that
