Unbelievable 9 game stretch! Don't let up!
Not bad with a lineup missing Yordan and Pena
3 pitches from 9-0tjack16 said:
Just as we all predicted. 7-2 over the New York teams
The Houston Astros just had a really weird part of the schedule where they had to face the first place team in both the American League (Yankees) and National League (Mets) for 9 games straight.

Home/Away/Away/Home
They went 7-2

Pressley pitching two days in a row and facing the Yankees. What could possibly go wrong
Every matchup with the Yanks is playoff-quality intensity.
NY - 54-18 against everyone else
2-3 vs the good guys

Was a little concerned with this NY stretch, but the starting pitching has been amazing. 7-2!
Great pitching and timely hitting tonight. That's a recipe for winning in October
I don't know about what y'all think but the NYC teams pretty much suck
Hey Yankees suck it!
I would have been happy with 4-5 and really happy with 5-4. 7-2 is beyond my wildest dream.

…and Uncle Mike.
Those were the mighty Yankees and Mets everyone was talking about?
7 back of home field and shrinking.
I think we're gonna eat into most of that before the break.

I mean, of course I'm happy with 7-2
But damnit Dusty, we had them for the 9-0 sweep! I'm still not over it

I love it when I'm wrong
Going to the game tomorrow. Retro Tucker jersey giveaway. How early should I plan to get there to get one? Game is 7, so gates open at 5, correct? Any thoughts from folks with more experience with this?
From own experience have had better luck during jersey days an bobble head days, so 5ish should be good..
Once the Yanks play more roads games they'll come back down to earth.
Well end up with the best record in the AL.

If I'm not mistaken, gates open 2 hours prior. (Yankee Stadium is 1.5 hours, by the way).
Get there 30 minutes before that and you'll be in the green for sure. Just my experience.
IMPORTANT QUESTION, SERIOUSLY:
I saw a post some weeks back about bobblehead giveaways and there was an Astrodome... bobblehead? Had King Tuck in a throne as well.
Anyway, has anybody heard when that Astrodome figure will be given away? Need to know!!!

Astros were 5-6 earlier this month. They finished June with a 16-9 record.

Open up an 11.5 game in the division and a 7 game lead for the #2 playoff spot.
Since opening the year a little slow at 7-9 (probably cause our guys have played more baseball in the last five years than pretty much any other team), we've gone 41-18 (.695, 112-113 win pace). We've played 32 at home, 43 on the road. We play a bit better at home, but not by much. Our game travels.
During that stretch the Yankees went off at .754… But we all saw the types of calls they get and have played 43 games in their shoebox vs. only 33 on the road. They are much worse on the road.
Those splits are going to start flipping here and could see a tight race for the #1 later this summer.

You are the man.
7-2 could've easily been 9-0.
Naturally they lost series to Seattle and Miami at home this month.
Angels up next

I think we gave Toronto/Tampa/Boston a nice template on how to pitch to them too
before the break they have Cle/Pit/Cin and 6 games with the redsox.Deluxe said:Ag_07 said:

Not tough, but not the easiest either
Dusty Baker says Yordan Álvarez and Jeremy Peña are getting closer, but weren’t available as they continue in concussion protocol. Says they’ll be checked out again tomorrow.

“That was a bold play that almost worked,” Baker said of the Tucker caught stealing at home.

In five games against the Yankees the Astros staring pitchers have a cumulative era of 1.68. That seems pretty good.

It's a strange feeling to agree with Dusty on something...

Maybe we should look at raiding their bullpen at the deadline
A healthy McCullers after the all-star break would have a Verlander/Johnson type of trade impact.
