2026 Astros

[Razor]

just have to be 1 game better than the Rangers this week...I don't really like our matchups this week as Seattle seems to own us and despite the A's not being very good, we don't do well against them either...let's play 'em out and see what happens!!

[AggiesAreWe]

Houston wins 7-0. Astros had 5 pitchers combine for 4 hit shut out.

Arlington loses so we are tied for division lead (have tiebreaker) with 5 to play.

I’m rooting for Astros to squeak in but I feel it will just be a token achievement with little to no chance in the post season. The same will be so for the Rangers.

[Razor]

Big win last night, but I agree that even if we do make the post season, expectations are not that high right now...get hot and you never know...best team doesn't always win the WS, as we well know

[AggiesAreWe]

No Pena tonight.

Altuve leading off and Allen is playing SS.

[AggiesAreWe]

Arlington loses.

Astros can get the division lead with a win tonight.

No score thru 2.

[myrecordwashorrible]

You retired people help the Astros hold the lead.  Wanna wake up to 1 game lead. 4-0 as I go to bed!!

[AggiesAreWe]

After 5, tied 4-4

[AggiesAreWe]

Still tied 4-4 after 7.

[baddog]

Well, who wants it?

[AggiesAreWe]

Headed to extras tied at 4.

[AggiesAreWe]

Hader with his first blown safe of the year.

Seattle wins in 10, 6-5.

Astros stay tied with Arlington.

[AggiesAreWe]

Arlington won so we need to win tonight to remain tied.

Lambert gets the start tonight. Wesneski tomorrow night, Brown Saturday and undecided for Sunday.

If Lambert is Lambert we should be ok but if he's the other Lambert look out.  Maybe Pena will still be hitting.

BTW prayers for Alex Bregman after getting hit in the face with foul ball while standing in the on deck circle the pther nite.  Multiple fractures.

[baddog]

Spence hits his 1st career HR. He now has 3 in the game. His swing reminds me of Terry Puhl.

[baddog]

Double play to end it. Astros win 7-5 and remain tied for division lead.

[baddog]

It was late when I posted last night and I was ready to turn in. I failed to mention that all the Astro’s runs were via HR. Spence hit a 3 run shot and 2 solos, while Paredes and Walker also hit solos. It’s gonna come down to the last 3 games. Who wants it more????

[LordOfTheLatrine]

Spence might single-handedly send us to the postseason

I have seen this several times when these youngster are very hungry for the big leagues.  I just hope he can pan out to be one of the elite ones that move up and do well in his carreer.

As far as single handed, I don't know about that.  They just need to play as a team to get to post season and farther.  All year it has been Jekyl and Hyde with occasionally hitting and pitching jive and hasn't been consistent, but we will see and hope for the best.

Go Astros.

Probably have to win 2 of the last 3. Hopefully they will win all 3
