spidersal Posted May 10, 2023 Report Posted May 10, 2023 I hope you are right. I see Altuve, and Brantley, who is the 3rd starter out. who are the 3 pitchers. McCullers was absolutely horrible in the WS last year. He is certainly not the answer. Are the other 2 the ones that just got hurt. However, the starters are not the problem, their are 2 relievers that are not getting the job done Again I hope you are right Quote

They are projected to win 92 games and finish tied for 1st in the West. I agree that they will have to win the division to make playoffs (don't see a wild card coming out of the division). Astros are currently without 3 starting pitchers and 3 every day players. I like their chances and willing to wager 4 figures to show my confidence. I agree but they sure have a way of scaring us early in the season.. They will come out of this slump. Garcia will really be missed. Quote

rupert3 Posted May 11, 2023 Report Posted May 11, 2023 Sorry for the one instead of WON. Senior moment I guess Quote
baddog Posted May 12, 2023 Report Posted May 12, 2023 No matter how bad you are, you’re going to win 1/3 of your games. No matter how good you are, you’re going to lose 1/3 of your games. It’s the other 1/3 that makes the difference….. Tommy Lasorda. Quote
rupert3 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Posted May 17, 2023 Well the Stros are on a roll of sorts now 4 over 500. Brantly out for season. We'll see Quote

WOSdrummer99 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Posted May 18, 2023 Swept the Cubs. Altuve had a disappointing rehab game. "He hasn't had a bunch of hits, but he feels good," manager Dusty Baker said of Altuve going a combined 1-for-18. "He's going to go to Corpus and spend a couple of days down there. He knows his timing is off a little bit so he wants to be wide open when he gets here and have everything be back to normal." 2 GB of Rangers Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Altuve makes his return for the World Champs. Let’s see how he does. Even if he is rusty, which he should be, he should spark this offense. Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Altuve went o’fer in his first game back but I’ll cut him all the slack he needs. His being in the lineup is too valuable. Astros beat the A’s 5-1. Alvarez and Tucker are playing lights out at the moment. Quote

I agree, got them a nice little streak going and are beginning to hit the ball. Especially Tucker who has been getting winning hits Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Altuve’s first hit of the season……a double to LC. Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Bregman having an excellent home stand batting 7 for 15. Brown throwing @ 99 mph. Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Alvarez with an upper deck solo shot to break a 2-2 tie in the 8th. First hit by a lefty against Lovelady. Alvarez’s 10th HR and 41st RBI. What a player. Quote
baddog Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Brown left the game with 9 Ks, a career best. Pressly closes it out for the win. Astros with a 6 game winning streak. Quote
rupert3 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Posted May 20, 2023 Tuve scored one of the first 2 runs. Now 7 over 500 and in 2nd place. Quote
