I'm still happy on how they are doing this season. I predicted they would be 81-81 this season, and they will still probably break that. George Springer is the heart of this club, and it shows right now. The pitching has kept them in the last several games, but they can't score enough runs. They need one or two more players that can hit for average so the boppers can get better pitches to drive them in. Springer, Altuve, and Correa are lethal when they are all healthy.
Where did the Houston Astros come from???

#143I am not giving up on Houston yet. I trust their pitching and I have faith Nolan will make the right decisions to keep them in the hunt for the AL West pennant. Losing Springer hurts but they took the inevitable rough patch right before this All Star break. I do like the lineup comments KLC and I have been thinking about that some more.
The bullpen is a strength and who's starting 5 in that division do you trust more?
I love CJ, Heaney looks good but unproven. Lineup scares no one....Trout is my favorite player probably....Albert has planar facisitis and that shit will inevitably flare up and he will miss time....I have this too and it hurts men. I just walk trout and make ginger Calhoun beat me every night.
Texas.... well please give us a pass on this one
Yu is out, Derek Hollandaise "I'm always broken" is out etc....Wandy, Lewis, a kid named CHI CHI has been nothing short of miraculous and cannot continue. Fading away like Jordan at the buzzer. (Kobe for the younger guys)
Oakland...Sonny is amazing, I don't like Chavez personally, Oakland bullpen non existant, poster shortstop alone has more errors than the entire majors practically. However....the amount of bad LUCK yes luck, in 1 run games was brutal for Oakland to start the year....probably keep an eye on them if Ron Washington can figure out how to help the defense get better...so far big dud.
I just realized I should keep this to myself.

#146Looks like the offense has regrouped since the All Star break. Looking forward to seeing the series with the Royals this weekend. Could be the two best franchises in the American League for the rest of this decade.Comment -

#150The next road stretch will tell the story. Got the Yankees, and then the Twins. Astros have been wounded warriors on the road the last month, and hometown heroes at Minute Maid. With the Rangers being hot, they have to at least split this road trip.Comment -

#151Did you hear that crazy stat where the Astros are like 54-9 winning scoring 4 runs or more but 11-50 when scoring 3 or less. The crazy thing is we got alot of those victories during this last home stand. I got the records wrong but it is something like that.Comment -

#152Live by the long ball, die by the long ball. I know they have a pretty good record in games with 2 home runs or more also. I'm chomping the bit for George Springer to get back into the lineup. Once he is at full strength, I think our lineup is up to par with everyone's except the Blue Jays. That's one more guy that can get on base, so our home run hitters can see better pitches.Comment -

#167Road record comes with the territory for a young team. Might have a chance of getting out of the first round if they win the AL West, and meet the Yankees in the first round. If Toronto wins the AL East, and face them, it was a good season.Comment -

#169I agree Houston should definitely make the playoffs this year.
Typically that's what happens when you're pure complete dogshit for 10 years and able to stockpile top draft picks.
