Great win. Framber with the boss night.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Where would we be without Seth Martinez and Taylor Scott?

The two biggest question marks in the pen have been the studs!

and for the season series vs. the A's...

'stros need to be thinking 11-2 or 10-3 at the worst

Framber with a couple nice starts since the Seattle series. Called the shutout but didn't get the complete game. Luckly the Athletics are terrible.

Nope...not until we're at least a game over .500. I've been fooled before. Yes, this is very encouraging but lets not get out ahead of our Astro skis.

The 'stros are going to have to play some really good ball for quite some time to climb out of the hole they dug for themselves. They found lots of ways to lose games they should have won (e.g. implosions by the back end of the bullpen,etc.) so the will have to overcome that

I think we could use a reboot with hitting coaches. If I was writing the checks I'd have fired them long ago


Yep…a few of us have been banging that drum for at least a couple of seasons now

Stinker and cintron aint it


Aren't we always near the top of the league in a lot of offensive categories?


Yes and then in other categories we are just offensive


Sure sure… which ones?


Blown saves, no?

Sure, but this feels different. Starting pitching and bullpen finally clicking together. Breggy looks to be on the upswing. The offense still kind of sputtering, but if Yordan gets going, the offense will really start going.

Gotta play .600 ball through the end of June to get back over .500.

Hopefully Javier has a better start tomorrow than last

Need to limit bullpen usage with no off day until Thursday next week

Or 1.000 ball for the next 8 games.

I'd sure like one of those 10 game winning streaks Dana promised...hopefully we're in one now.

So Bregman spends one game batting 6th, another batting 5th, and now back in the top 4. Feels soon, regardless of the HR barrage.

Watch out, them's fightin' words to some folks here! I got roundly put in my place this afternoon for that line of thinking. His 0'fer tonight makes me feel a little bit justified. I want to be wrong, but I want to see him string together weeks. Not days.

this upcoming series vs. the Brewers will be a good test of where the Astros are

Milwaukee has an off-day tomorrow, so their bullpen will be fresh

the Astros' pitching has struggled against teams that can hit

and the Brew Crew is top 5 in almost all offensive categories

People were just disagreeing with you. Not trying to put you in your place. You were asking questions and so was I. I was giving my viewpoint and you were giving yours. No one was calling you wrong. It may have felt that way, but they were expressing their opinion too, just as you were. The conversation was more of a chicken or the egg coming first type of conversation. No need to create drama.

I honestly don't care that much about this topic except for this: We don't have weeks to see if it's a fluke or not before moving him back up. With Yordan struggling, there needs to be someone in the 4 spot to drive in runs. He did do that tonight, by the way.

I'm actually fine with him in the 5th spot behind Peña if that's what you would prefer.

Probably should bench him. I mean, he's not even really better than another CF

So why is today's game not an afternoon game? Seems like the perfect time for one.

Not the best gif for the Astros as these 3 certainly weren't back at that point but it did work out at the end so hopefully it means it will for the Astros too.
