Speaking of numbers, countdowns, etc., let's say 85 wins takes this putrid division. Does this team hit the 90-win mark, including playoffs?

I honestly can't decide.

If they go 31-16 they would hit 90 wins. Not probable but not impossible.
If they go .660 the rest of the way then put your life savings on the Astros to win the WS.

Why do I love George so much, am apathetic about Bregman, and pretty much hate Kyle Tucker? They all left the team via free agency.

Simple enough ground ball back to HB ends the first.

Springer plays with anxiety/joy, Breggy with grit/swag, and Tuck with apathy. Springer is most relatable to me lol

Hoping for 13-17 hits and 10-12 runs today. I'm going all out for HOFA top-tier quality since I won't be back for another game thread until next Monday.

Don't know why Cam needs a day off. Seems like he's finally hitting some sort of stride. Paredes is the guy that needs a day off.

Taillon throws his sweeper and cutter 61% to RHH. Cam has a -9 run value vs those two pitches. It sounds like Skip is more so protecting Cam while getting another lefty in the lineup. LHH have a .924 OPS vs Taillon.

This got me thinking: what is the best lineup we could put out based on splits?

vs RHP
1. DH Alvarez - .478 xwOBA
2. SS Pena - .356
3. LF Trammell - .347
4. C Diaz - .345
5. RF Smith - .333
6. 3B Paredes - .323
7. 1B Walker - .300
8. CF Varsho - .297
9. 2B Altuve - .264

vs LHP
 1. DH Alvarez - .460 xwOBA
2. SS Pena - .366
3. 3B Paredes - .328
4. 1B Walker - .319
5. RF Smith - .309
6. 2B Altuve - .309
7. LF Dezenzo - .297
8. CF Varsho - .284
9. C Vzquez - .252

Makes me a little sad to see Altuve barely squeeze in at #9 against RHP. But it also suggests he might need to be farther down the lineup most nights than we have been playing him.

the Astros may need Varsho to be less selective in RISP spots

HB played with his food there. Three straight misses with a curve and then dots up a fastball for strike three.

Are an infield fly and a K swinging at a ball the worst things to happen when you have bases loaded with 1 out?

You can argue a GDP is worse but it at least gives the defense a chance to commit an error.
