Fun fact: 3 of the last 4 teams to win 70% of their first 40 games won the WS.

The Astros, as of last night, have won 70% of their first 40 games.

If the astros play one game better than .500 ball the rest of the way, we win 90 games. That stat boggles my mind.

They are truly having, at least to this point, a historic season for Astros standards. This team is looking to rival that 98 team that was so good, but ran into that SD team with that juiced pitcher. I still say that 98 team was the best I had watched as an Astros fan, I guess an argument could be made for the 86 team as well. No offense to 2005 team, they were a star ladened team for sure, but those 98 and 86 teams were better.

Kevin Brown. Dude made the killer Bs look foolish at the plate. Them Sterling Hitchcock beats Johnson and the collapse was complete.

Only gonna miss one start though. I'm not sure how he pinched a nerve in his neck.

Probably from watching all the Cleveland balls leave the yard last night.

You can do it by simply sleeping funny when you're relatively stiff from exertion.

Most frustrating pair of Astros games ever, after the 16 inning Mets loss in '86.
GRRRRRRRR! And Brown turns out dirty.

So, when McHugh comes back, who's out... Fiers or Musgrove?

If it's Musgrove, do they send him down or send him to the bullpen?

If it's Fiers, do they send him to the bullpen or do they release him?

If one of these two end up in the bullpen, who comes off the active roster?

Fiers will be released.



I hope.

We need to take 3/4 this week vs Detroit to get back on track. And let the rangers lose a few to come back down to earth

You aren't a fan of giving up 4 single HR's before the bottom of the third? Where's your sense of competition?

My only complaint about last night was Stanton in the booth. I don't know if he was trying too hard but he's no Blum for sure. He was talking for the sake of talking.

Kalas and Blum are a pretty decent combo. Not Brownie and Dierk but they're pretty good.

He's a former pitcher. Never drove a ball into the alley in his life. So, we get pitcher-speak. He's still better than Ashby.
Kallas, imo, is outstanding at play by play. Best in years.
Blum...hmmm. He could become good. Not yet.

Blummer is the man!

He's insightful but not annoying, entertaining, drops some zingers in there every so often, and works really well with Kalas.

Wasn't always a Blum fam but he's grown on me. Think he's great.
