rupert3 Posted August 31, 2023 Report Posted August 31, 2023 Mets win 6-5 Rangers 1 game back. Stros tied for first Quote
BlueOwl Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 I’m sure this has been talked about, but I’m not going back and reading 14 pages. Martín Maldonado is the worst hitter in franchise history. If not of all time in the MLB. This guy doesn’t need to see the field ever. dude brings no tangible skills to the table. He’s fat, slow, can’t hit, arm strength is average at best. I get the pitchers say they like him behind the plate, but other than game planning what does this fat boy bring to the table? Literally nothing. Quote

rupert3 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Well everyone loses tonight so everything the same. Quote
rupert3 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 Didn't look good tonight Lost. Seattle won Rangers lose Seattle in first Quote
baddog Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 I think the remaining schedule for the Mariners, Astros, and Rangers favors the Astros. AggiesAreWe 1 Quote

I'm beginning to think no one is favored at this point unless we start playing more consistent in the win column. Seems like we can't play the lower teams with any flare. Quote
rupert3 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 Mariners lose to Mets 6-3, Rangers win 6-5. Time for Stros to wake up and take care of business. Quote

Seems like we can't play the lower teams with any flare. Simply looking at matchups. To me, Astros have an easier schedule. We still have to win those games……no coasting. rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 Well it's hard to take but Yanks swept us now full game back. Next 3 games gonna be tuff. The other thing to think about is that we have played 2 more games than the other 2 teams. Quote
spidersal Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 24 more games the Astros better get it going. Blue jays not far behind. If they lose 2 of 3 from Rangers they may have a tough road Quote
BEARCPA Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 I’ve always been a Dusty defender, but I don’t think I can do it anymore. He tinkers with the lineups way too much; keeping the better bats on the bench way too much. Absolutely cannot be doing that this late in the season during a division title race this close. snakehead26 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 Astros will win the division rupert3 and baddog 2 Quote

There has been alot of talk about that. Keeping Chas out of the game for a platoon being the most recent. Quote

Keeping Chas out of the game for a platoon being the most recent. Chas should be an everyday player. He has excellent defense and is probably the most clutch hitter we have. Likewise, Yainer Diaz should be in the lineup daily. The weakest link in today's batting lineup is Jose Abreu. Our biggest overall problem right now seems to be starting pitching. BEARCPA 1 Quote
baddog Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 Dubon and Altuve go back-to-back HRS TWICE. How often has that happened? Fun game to watch. Bregman 4-4. Need to keep winning. Tied for 1st again if we hold this lead. Quote
rupert3 Posted September 4, 2023 Report Posted September 4, 2023 Stros win 13-6 Dubon Altuve back to back twice Seattle loses Quote
BEARCPA Posted September 5, 2023 Report Posted September 5, 2023 Stros take the Silver Boot again this season. Ho Hum. rupert3 1 Quote
rupert3 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Altuve just became the fourth player in major league history to hit 3 homers in 3 in a row innings Quote
myrecordwashorrible Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Well, about 30 minutes or so and the 'Stros will be all alone in first place. What an interesting season....SO FAR. Quote
rupert3 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Win 14-1 Seattle loses 6-5 full game up 6 Home runs 20 hits everyone contributed Quote
spidersal Posted September 6, 2023 Report Posted September 6, 2023 Tremendous job by Altuve. Looks like the closed door meeting helped. 21 games left, keep it up Quote
rupert3 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Posted September 7, 2023 Another nice 12-3 win SWEEP 14 hits Seattle wins so still 1 out Rangers 3 out. Abreu 7 RBIs with Grandslam and 3 run Home run. 8-2 last 10 games. Quote
