Yep!
And not to mention Betances is fckin lost right now. He doesn't scare me the least bit. Chapman though is a different story.
But we did just clinch a series on the road against Kimbrel so WGAS who we face.

So have we talked about Strasburg not taking the ball today on full rest because he isn't feeling good? I just can't fathom it that your top pitcher available doesn't want to pitch in an elimination game
I literally texted my friends "this is who I want up right now" when Beltran was up to bat.TrueAggie42 said:
Enjoyed the article. I think Bregman and Reddick are the guys you would want at bat in pressure situations for this team. Guys that get it done when the pressure is on is something the Astros have lacked for a long time.

also heard when the IF comes together to talk during the game (pitching conference, etc,) that they speak in Spanish and Bregs speaks fluently. Pretty cool.Collard Greens said:
Lance just on with Josh Innes and said Bregman would come in after each HR on Sale and yell "Yall wanted to trade me for him?!"
God, I love that Kid
Peacock has actually been a little better on the road this season than at home, and Keuchel is definitely better at home for whatever reason.CSWendt said:
Interesting question, does our pitching perform better with Verlander & Keuchel on the road and Morton & Peacock at home? I would think Morton/Peacock pitch better at home and Verlander/Keuchel are more likely to be themselves on the road. Maybe a silver lining if Cleveland wins.
DK and JV have both been much better at home versus road this year. The Indians have roughed up Verlander this year too, but those starts were in the first half of the year when JV was still struggling.CSWendt said:

Wow...That's awesome.
I read that entire thing with a huge grin.

The Houston Astros may not win the World Series this season. May not even make it past the Indians or the Yankees. But what they reminded us of in their American League Division Series against the Red Sox, one that ended with a wildly entertaining Game 4 that saw both Justin Verlander and Chris Sale pitch out of the bullpen for their teams, is that they are the most entertaining baseball team on the planet. Watching them play hardball is like watching the Golden State Warriors play basketball.

There are so many guys providing leadership for us right now, but, for me, everything comes back to Carlos Beltrn. In my opinion, that guy is the most respected player in all of baseball, bar none. He's a 20-year veteran, and he's just filled with wisdom. When he talks to anyone anyone! they listen. And it doesn't matter if he goes 0 for 4 or 4 for 4, he's going to find ways to help the team.
Spoke too soon. More quotes.Quote:
Carlos has taught me so many things, not just about baseball, but also just about life. We always go out to eat together when we're on the road, and after every one of those meals, when I'm going to sleep that night, I realize that I've learned like 10 new things. At least.
I love that guy, and he's become the heart and soul of this team.

I know it's already been posted, but that's a money quote from Correa right there.Spoke too soon. More quotes.Quote:

Haha, just got a call from the Astros to come down for a watch party tonight with free food and drinks. They want to "meet the family" and talk about 2018 ticket packages and WS priority seating.
I felt kinda special for a minute!
