We have done this in too many of our wins.

Opposite of the Mariners, who use smoke and mirrors. Helps the stat line, but not the line that counts, record.


Lol...yes it does.

A 1-5 homestand with a run differential of 0. It's what we do.

At this point I don't even give a shite about the homestand anymore. It was a disaster but We've got a 2 game lead headed into a huge road trip. This trip can do a lot toward securing the division lead.

I'm just glad they got the bad feels off their back and scored some runs in a win which has got to feel good for them. Plus reinforcements aren't far off. Springer is back Friday, Devo next week and McCann not long after and hopefully Altuve soon. I really want to believe our guys are going to get healthy and get things rolling soon.

Unless Gattis gets hot I think I prefer Kemp in the 9 hole

It will be interesting to see what happens after we got Springer and Altuve back and McCann back. I don’t like the fact that our two bench OF are left handed behind left handed Reddick. I also kinda want to see Tyler playing more often, maybe DH instead of Gattis occasionally.

There's some playoff decisions to be made but all the moves you're talking about can be dealt with in the interim. We're 2 weeks away from expanded rosters. So somebody may have to go back to Fresno for like a week.

Reliever can do a dL stint. Or Tucker goes down for a week. No reason to bring up McCann till Sept.

Well that was a satisfying win.

I love it when every time I check in on the score the Astros have added on.

I would almost be in favor of replacing a pitcher with a hitter in the post-season. There are way more dependable arms in the pen this year than last year. Not having McCullers as the "swing guy" might alter that thinking though.

You are assuming the division is not in jeopardy.

I've seen enough of Castronado's bat and Stassi behind the plate to appreciate McCann's handling of the staff.

We may need him more than we know.

Can we call last nights win a “win streak”? I feel like it should be considered a win streak.
