I bet Myer’s stats are better than that.

What a strange game. He was projected as a guy entering free agency this off season to be worth 100 million on a 4 year deal. Then this season was played....and now  he may get a 1 year "prove it deal" at a much lower per season level.

Can he find lightening in a bottle for a few weeks?  Astros could sure use a hot bat from an unexpected source.

That last sentence is a massive understatement. But we also need someone to solidify being the 4th starter in the rotation.

Houston having to use 17 different starting pitchers this season kind of sums up their season.

I question whether management wants to win. They start Javier who has probably a 75% chance of losing, then they bring King in who probably has an 80% chance of losing and Brown can’t throw 2 strikes in a row. Just an extremely weak pitching staff. Offensively Alvarez is the outfielder that can hit

If they continue to play like the past couple of series, knowing the only team going to the playoffs in their division will be the winner, they will probably be sitting at the house again

What about the couple of series before? What IF they play like that?

Houston is 16-8 in their last 24 games. 3-3 in the last two series.

Currently, the Rangers are tied with the Twins and the Blue Jays for the final playoff spot. Astros have a 2 game lead on all three.

IF the Astros continue to play like they have since the All Star break, they will win the division by 5+ games.

Two can play this "if" game.

This is the difference between a positive and a negative attitude……glass half full…..

Alvarez…..the outfielder who can hit……talk about damning him with faint praise! Alvarez is the best player in MLB. Wow, what a fan!!!!

Astros lose 3-1. Pretty obvious what lost the game tonight.

Houston pitching gave up 3 runs which is 1.5 runs less than their team ERAS coming into this game.

Houston scored just 1 run on 3 hits. The one run is 3.5 runs under their season average.

Offense lost this one tonight. Pitching did fine.

Houston leads Arlington by 1 game.
