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…..

[baddog]

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 ERA 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.

Astros about to go on a 5 game win streak.

Some of you posters either can’t or don’t read a post  My post said Alrarez was the only OF that could hit. The others averages are dismal. The next closest would be Smith. Actually if you look at the past 2 series very few in the lineup are hitting well

Yeah, you bunch of illiterate fatherless children. What Uncle Spudey said!!

Sorry, my inner Sam Kinison kicked in there for a moment. 

Carry on.

No score after top of 1st. That’s something new. Lol

This is normally a recipe for disaster. The fact the Astros are above .500 is a definite anomaly in this situation.

Yes it is.

Pecko's old man beats his son in the best mustache contest.

[myrecordwashorrible]

Astros don't strand a runner at 3rd with no outs.  Nice job Smith. 

[baddog]

No decision for Pecko’s debut. Astros up 2 on the Rangers and 4 on the Mariners.

[AggiesAreWe]

Astros win 3-2.

If they continue to win, Houston will win the division and the AL and the World Series.

[baddog]

Vasquez missed the tag at home, but the runner interfered with the throw. He should have been out #3 with no run scored.

[rupert3]

Oh the pitching woes of the Stros.  Lambert/King not a good combo/   10-2 bottom 4

[rupert3]

I just don't know why they leaving King in 14-2 still batting this is crazy

I have a feeling we’re gonna hear from fan-of-the-year.

Mainly because you are down 14-2 and it's no reason to use up other bull pen arms in this game.
