Today is about Business. Stros are back on track at home. 4 in a row, lets make it 5 in a row and a clean sweep of the Jays.
Today its McHugh (4-1, 3.50 era) v Mark Buehrle (5-2, 5.54 ERA).
The First Place Houston Astros (24-13) are back to their high water mark of the year at 11 games over .500. They aint no stopping this pain train.
All Aboard.

Interesting write up by Jason Stark of espn.com about these One of a Kind Houston Astros last night.

I’ve decided there’s no team in baseball that fascinates me more than those 2015Houston Astros.

So think about this trifecta: First in homers. First in strikeouts. First in steals. One of the most unique triple threats of modern times.
OK, so how rare is this? Glad you asked. With the help of Lee Sinins, inventor of the incredibly handy Complete Baseball Encyclopedia, here’s all you need to know:
• In the entire expansion era, just one team has ever homered, whiffed and burglarized more than any team in its league -- and it was a pretty memorable team: The 1976 edition of the Big Red Machine.
If you’re old enough, you’ll remember that juggernaut winning 102 games and going unbeaten in October. I have a feeling almost nobody remembers that all eight regulars racked up double figures in stolen bases. And even Johnny Bench, the catcher, swiped 13 of 15.
quote:
Meanwhile, over in the American League, this gets even more unusual. For one thing, in the DH era, only one AL team has ever even led the league in both home runs and steals. And that would be the fearsome 1995 Indians team that went 100-44 and had 14 players steal at least one base -- including Tony Pena, Sandy Alomar Jr., Jim Thome and Ruben Amaro Jr.
• But to find the last (and only) American League team to top the league in all three of those categories, you have to travel back 77 years to the mighty 1938 Yankees. Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio swiped six bases apiece for that team, if you were wondering.

Haven't been able to watch most of this week because of work but I rewatched last night

Definitely tuning in tmrw night, for sure. I'll watch bits and pieces today because I have a few things to do, but tmrw, hopefully LMJ can toss a gem.

Jabroni needs to go 7 tonight. I don't see LMJ going past the 6th inning.because he's been on a pretty strict regiment in the minors. Hopefully the bullpen will be rested for tomorrow.

Time for the Stros to get some national tv games.
America has spoken and they want the Astros.

Did you guys see the blurb written in relation to LMJ? Someone surmised that the Astros have called him up to showcase for a potential trade commodity.

I think Correa, Tucker, and LMJ are all Luhnow's jewels. I'm not buying it

So now Ryno is telling you what to think, too?

Tucker hits lefties as well as righties. I do not like this. Gattis needs to get back behind the plate on days like this.

Not only that, but Buehrle's career splits against Lefties and Righties are pretty even as well.
Rasmus over Tucker in left must mean they value Rasmus defense over Tuckers bat with McHugh on the mound.

Pretty cool that we can have discussions about who our left fielder should be now that we have 4 competent outfielders

Basically what we did with nick trapeono( I probably slaughtered the spelling). I just wouldn't understand why we would trade a 21 year old pitcher when we talk about not having a consistant 5th starter. Plus LMJ was basically a 1st round pick so if we trade him it better be for a star player

Hmmm... I don't think I follow this logic. I don't think Luhnow is willing to take that risk. If LMJ performs? Yeah, his trade value goes up. But if he gives up 5 runs in 3 innings? That's too risky for a 20 yr old pitcher.
That said... I think the only players that are off the table trade-wise:Altuve, Correa, and Keuchel.
