2015 Houston Astros.

Cueto to the Royals, I think Astros need a bat, possibly a reliever, and Qualls on the DL.

I think reliever

Angels vs Stros 3 game series. This is huge!

@MLB: Carlos Correa has more HRs than any AL shortstop.
Carlos Correa has played 42 games.
Carlos Correa is 20 years old. http://t.co/bIlqouG7Ba

Back in 1st place!

Awesome environment at the game last night... Nationally televised on ESPN, not a bad crowd for a Wednesday night, and dollar hot dog night... When they had no hits after 4 it made me a bit nervous but they got the bats going and McCullers continues to impress... Hopefully Kazmir shuts the Angels down tonight and the Stros complete the sweep... Personally, it says a lot about this team that they are beating a pretty good club in a very meaningful series and also that they are taking advantage of the Angels not having Trout in the lineup.

JJ Watt taking BP before the game.  On a side note Carlos Correa is a big dude standing next to JJ.

@mlbtraderumors: No medical holdup this time. #Brewers announce Gomez, Fiers traded to #Astros for four prospects. Read more: http://t.co/928J15Qf2w

Castro 3 run walkoff bomb!!  Kazmir was great but gets ND.   #CrushCity

He knew it when he hit it. Pitcher tried to burn him with same pitch twice. Powwwww. This Astros team is making me proud.

Astros get Carlos Gomez from the Brewers.

​I'm a bit confused about the excitement of this trade. Is George Springer going to move to RF? It seems like Springer and Tucker are on the rise while Gomez may be on the decline. Is Rasmus going to be the odd man out?

Rasmus being the odd man out is okay, but honestly with Springer having the wrist issue could linger this year so Gomez is an insurance policy.

I'm not too familiar with the guys they gave up, did they give up any really good prospects?

Correa is really, really good.....

[baddog]

In most batting lineups, your 3,4,5 slot are your "big bats". In the Astros lineup, every single batter can light it up. I really like that.

[PhatMack19]

Astros now have a 4 game lead after the Angels lose 9 of 10. 

 

Next up- 3 game series with the Rangers starting tonight.  On the bright side, I'll actually be able to watch the next few games on FoxSports.

McCullers only records one out in the first, giving up 6 earned.  Time to play catch up. On the bright side, Correa with a 2 run bomb in the first.  I would say he is already one of the best players in the league.

Totally agree about Correa. Glad I am able to see him play. MCCullers.....well, pitchers have games like this. Astros will come back in this game.

[PhatMack19]

Castro and Hank have been on fire.   It's nice to get production from the catcher spot for a change.  

[Peppermint Patty]

Beltre hits for the cycle in the 5th inning. Dang!

[baddog]

Well, they did come back, just not enough.

Rasmus needs to play deeper in right!  C'mon coaches.

The Astros move and shift more than any team in baseball.  I guess it takes away all of the bloop hits, but this series the Rangers are burning him in right.  Saber-metrics says it is the right play over 162 games.
