It takes more than one player to give up an inside the park home run at this level tv guys. He should've had someone moving in to back him up.

Totally intriguing hypothetical for Sunday...

Tied with Cleveland...and it's Keuchel's regular day to start...and he would still be able to start game 2 on regular rest...do you throw him? You need a win and a CLE loss

You ask Dallas and leave it up to him.

You know Dallas wants a chance at his yanks

Of course if we won out, yanks may pass the Red Sox

As unlikely as it would be to get in front of the Indians, does your opinion change if you're a game up and therefore control your own destiny?

Another factor in the playoff scenario:

Just heard that the twins are (or will be if they win, can't remember what they said) 6-1 playing at Cleveland's ballpark this season

2nd night in a row I havent been able to tine into the game at all. Guess I need to keep avoiding them.

I still say no. Let them rest and hope your offense can carry you. Plus, the Sox will likely be resting the majority of their playoff players that day too

Good thing the rangers didn't swap series. Their fans must really be enjoying this

Maybe we want the Twins to win the WC play-in and beat the Indians in the ALDS.

Man, that Beltran interview was tough to watch. I've had frustrations with him on the field at times, but off the field he seems like a class act

So we are 1 game back of Cleveland at the moment, but technically 2 games out since they hold the tie breaker. That correct?

Cleveland has Salazar pitching tomorrow with a 4.50 era

Probably best chance of them losing on paper the rest of year

The Twins have Santana pitching on Thursday, so they might have a chance there, too.

I didn't see it, but since he's Puerto Rican, I'm guessing that...
Joe West is a fat piece of **** and a waste of oxygen.

Yeah it was about the situation in PR and the fund he's set up to help. He was tearing up and could barely talk when speaking on how bad things are there right now.

Beltran seems like a real genuine guy and one of the best professionals in the game. I didn't realize it until I read that Player's Tribune article he wrote after he signed with us during the offseason. That was really telling.

I think he got a bad rap from a lot of Astros fans (me included) after the stunt he pulled following the 04 season and using us just to leave for the NYM. He's a good guy and despite his shortcomings on the field I'm glad he joined this team and hopefully his playoff experience and clubhouse presence helps in October.

Where's the best place to get tickets for today's game? I feel like the tickets on MLB AtBat are too expensive which is where I usually get them for MMP.

I think this is the one he's talking about:

https://www.mlb.com/astros/video/beltran-on-pr-relief-efforts/c-1850870183

They ask Beltran about his donation to PR and how Jim Crane asked Beltran what he could do to help out (including providing planes to take supplies to the country).

Pretty good bull from the Astros FO and you can tell how much it means to Beltran, as he gets very emotional at the end of the interview.

What is the best place to get Astros gear? I want a new Astros T-Shirt for the game next week. I've looked at Amazon and MLB.com. Just curious if there are some cool t-shirts on lesser known sites.

From what I've seen I'm sure you could just walk up, buy the cheapest ticket available and then sit where you like.

I bet you're right. I doubt today will be any different than the last 2 games.
