Chris Carter with a 2-run bomb. The Astros have so many hitters that are so frustrating to watch :lol:

Springer really needs to make some adjustments or he's never gonna be good. He whiffs on so many hitable pitches :x

The at bats from Gattis, Carter, Springer, Castro, Villar, and Valbuena :x :lol:

@brianmctaggart: Astros clubhouse is Club Minute Maid. There is bass pumping, fog machine and lasers.

@EvanDrellich: Astros clubhouse has lights down, little strobe light, some sort of hazy steam element and a remix of the Say Geronimo song playing. #club


Springer turned the club house into an EDM club after Ws :lol:

Mullin is a legend in Queens. Let him throw out a first pitchfirst pitch, ya fool Wilpons.

Niese got smacked by the Cardinals last night. Cuddyer's defense in first inning :x

Let's get the win, Colon.
 
Astros have the second worst BABIP in baseball. 2nd highest K%. 5th highest BB%. 24th in OBP, 14th in wOBA, 2nd in ISO.

there's talent on that offense but all these K's man. they need to add another contact hitter or two to the mix.
 
On top of Lowrie producing, it was great having another quality bat that wasn't a K machine.

We just have too many of the same high K rate and power guys giving pitchers easy outs. All the guys I listed in the previous post have such bad approaches at the plate. I don't care if they each K 200 this year, but they hack at so many bad pitches and miss so many good ones :lol:
 
Keuchel lowered his ERA to 1.67

The Astros bullpen has been the biggest reason why they've been so bad the past few years. Even when they did have leads, there was such a small chance it was going to be held

Luhnow found Tony Sipp and Will Harris off the scrap heap who have been

Greggerson has been buns, but he's only blown 1 save. Neshek, Qualls, and Josh Field have been good too. Joe Thatcher is the only guy in the pen who sucks.

It's crazy how we have 6 relievers that you can actually trust, as opposed to having 0 the past few years

Keuchel came outta nowwhere. Everyone else in that Astros system was getting hype and this guy just did his business and started dominating. 
 
Astros are gonna have a hold on the division for the coming years... Angels aging... Mariners pitching is mediocre (sans Felix).. don't know what the A's are doing.. Rangers could give em a run if they stay healthy/develop their farm/add pieces.

My lineup for tonight #YouCare
