Gallo may be regressing.

Tom that was a bad play by Nap. No way he should have been going there.

He is a homer for life

I getting tired of this 2015 comparison. This Astro team is a lot better than the 2015 team.

Bass needs to be on a fast buss to Round Rock. He cannot pitch in this league. He has sucked in both of his appearances.

They've got a Hell of a team

Yes they do and credit should be recognized.

Another double digit strikeout game for our hitters.

 

[Duane1952]

Guzman 3 for 4 so far tonight. Hitting.343.

 

[Duane1952]

56 strikeouts in the last 4 games. Way to go offense.

 

[Bmurph]

Swept in a 4 game series looking highly probable! Ouch

 

[Nightcrawler]

Yes they do and credit should be recognized.

I can't root for them in the playoffs. The Astros fans I know always make fun of us for not winning the World Series, but when I tell them that the Astros have never won a World Series game, they respond by saying they will this year. I hope not.

We've got some pieces on the way. Might be a down year to two, I don't mind.

Pitching is the problem we have to solve.

Pitching is the problem we have to solve.

Exactly, and it looked as though it would be the back end of the rotation that could be the biggest issue, however the bullpen sucks giant goat balls!

Strikeouts and some guys approach need changing but the offense should be plenty adequate they have just not been hitting anything but HR's

If struggling Rangers aren't sellers at the deadline, the Astros may overtake them for good | SportsDay

Right... Mendez and Sadscek are two of the pieces I was referring to. But yes, we'll have to find more along the way. Long term, I think Bush and Kela will be anchoring the bullpen.

Not a lot of substance in that article.

I certainly hope we continue to develop them and they become what we hope they will be. Just seen too many in this organization not exactly pan out, or we ship them off. Perez has really been a disappointment

3 more errors, 13 more strikeouts and Anthony Bass still stinks. About what we have come to expect so far.
