We've won 19 of our last 24. It's almost been a month since we lost a series.


August is coming. That means we are bound to see that yearly two or three week stretch where they suck and many on this thread will have to get talked off the ledge.

With Maldy's offensive explosion in July (.353/.476/.765), I think it's time we start playing Machete vs. Joey Gallo - the batting average race.


With a 1 for 4 night, Machete is up to .162 and on pace for 16 HR and 41 RBI.

King Donkey was 1 for 5 and is hitting .166 and on pace for 19 HR and 40 RBI.

It's anyone's ballgame. Although Martin is putting up those numbers at 33% the salary.

West coast got me last night. Glad you guys hung in there to the end.

I just can't imagine the A's stay in Oakland much longer. What a pitiful fan base.

They're not even in the last WC spot yet. AL East is dominating it.

Yeah I'm not scared. Just like it always does, this hot streak will end. Maybe they will trade away some of their best players again at the deadline and claim it's a positive...

the Mariners are 2 games behind Toronto for the last wildcard spot.

and speaking of the Blue Jays (45-40)...just 1-7 in their last 8 games.

they were the trendy AL WS pick, but have had a disappointing first half

Astute predictions.
Astros the last few years have typically played .500 ball or worse in August with the exceptions of 2017 and 2019.

2017, they went 11-17 in August, and 2019, they went 19-9. But in 19, they had a 5 or 6 game losing streak in the month.

I'm bracing for the .500 ball and the flood of messages like, "What's wrong with the Astros?" And "We suck!"

The big difference is it feels like our bats are finally starting to wake up and that can carry us as I expect our pitching to take a dip (heck, it already has the last week).

Maldanaldo's torrid hot streak has pushed his average all the way up to .162. Only .38 below the Mendoza line.

just checked the Mariners' upcoming schedule...

the M's are off on the Thursday after the all-star game...while the Astros will be playing the doubleheader vs. the Yankees.

and then the Astros get on a plane for a weekend series in Seattle.

that is an awful travel schedule

Bats are starting to wake up, and maybe we will see a performance like 19, but I fully expect them to cool off. I believe we will see a clunker series or two against inferior competition. It almost happened against KC.

We may lap the field. It is probably why MLB is delaying implementing it.

Good to see the ump conspiracy theories have moved from A&M baseball to the Astros. I'd bet everything I can find similar posts on the rangers thread.

It's a universal rule that umpires, officials, commissioners, and announcers hate every team you're a fan of.

I think there's some real bias though from the umpires (subconscious or intentional) against the Astros though. All you have to do is look at the umpire score cards for the games against the Yankees. It was heavily slanted one way. I don't think of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but there's a lot of mounting evidence.
