Even with Bregman out...the subs are playing better than the starters....Chas McCormick (the Chasmanian Devil)...Abraham Toro (the Jewish Matador) .... as good as they are straight up, makes you wonder why they had to cheat....

I mean they were swept by Baltimore and lost 2 of 3 to Detroit prior to this 7 game run. They are losing games they should be winning

And they won 11 in a row before that. I would say 19-5 is a decent run

Since you appear to be incapable of providing context, I will do it for you. The current streak is actually only at 6. They won 11 in a row before that stretch you mentioned. They’re 41-19 against teams with a winning record and have a 5 1/2-game lead in the AL West.

And, yes, because I’m not intellectually dishonest like you’re being, I’ll throw you a bone and point out they lost 2 of 3 to the Yankees in New York in May and, yes, they have a losing record against teams with losing records. Funny what a senile manager who was never good at making in-game decisions and a shaky bullpen can do sometimes. Baseball teams also have natural ebbs and flows in a season. You must be new to this sport (I know you’re not but if you want to play dumb, I’ll treat you like you’re dumb).

How hard is it to provide complete context? Why, I’ll bet you still think your Yankees weren’t cheating when the Astros were cheating, don’t you? You still think Jose Altuve was wearing a buzzer, huh? Bless your little heart.

Figured I’d get that response from you. Pathetic.

By the way, it’s an odd-numbered year. The last three odd-numbered years, the Astros ended the Yankees’ season in the playoffs. Have fun.

So caught up jn the Astros cheating which I did not mention, not have I mentioned for years. It's just sad that is the typical response. There is no "context" the Astros have had a few nice streaks but losing to bottom tier teams, teams they should be dominating is perplexing. But alas go back to Yankees and "cheating" because it is your typical response.

All of the Dodger and Yankee soyboys who look like this will start to reply about how evil the Astros are as soon as their local coffee shops open

This thread is about them being on fire and you don’t mention that. You mention a hiccup that ended almost a week ago. Yes, it’s perplexing why they struggled against Baltimore and Detroit (and in series against Texas and Colorado, for that matter). They also have a 5 1/2-game lead in their division after taking the first 2 of a 3-game series against their closest division competition.

Again, ebbs and flows but overall a team that has probably the best record in baseball over the last month (too lazy to look it up and I don’t really care if they are or aren’t).

You want to bring something up, fine, put it in the proper context of the thread. Or you can continue to be a butthurt Yankees fan. I don’t give a shite.

Don’t worry the Yankees won’t even sniff the playoffs this year. They will be able to avoid the inevitable playoff butt kicking

I can't wait to find out the cheating scheme that the Astros are using now.

Offense
1st in Runs, Hits, BA, OBP, OPS
2nd in SLG
6th in HR

Pitching/Fielding
8th in runs allowed
5th in hits allowed
1st in FLD%
8th in ERA
6th in WHIP
16th in K/9
14th in HR allowed
5th in BAA

Pitching is starting to come around when healthy. I still think they need to make moves in the bullpen before the deadline to keep up.
