Amazing what this team is doing. Altuve goes yard again. Players I’ve never heard of winning games on offense and defense. Who woulda thunk it.

Astros scored more runs in one inning than the gLAsshouse gang scored in all three games.

A sweep of the Dodgers!!
Don’t know about you, but I’m getting a 2017 WS season performance vibe by this team.
They are finding ways to win. Players are stepping up both offensively and defensively.
The team seems to plug in players without loss of performance.
If Diaz and Walker continue their hot performances, the Astros will be a post season nightmare for opposing teams.

We should all get together over a Zoom call and play Astros scrap heap bingo.
Who had Zack Short for major offensive contribution in a road game against the Dodgers?

Not me, that’s for sure. 
Hopefully, Jake’s “calf tightness” isn’t anything serious - there’s a point at which the Astros won’t be able to just keep plugging in random guys and wining games. Or is there?

Yeah, because Trammell can’t hit off a tee.

Congrats to Yusei Kikuchi on his all-star selection. Still wish we would’ve resigned him.

Javier threw two more live sessions. One more session. If all goes well, he’ll start rehab assignment

Javier is the lynchpin for getting through the playoffs and back in the WS. If that guy comes back strong its gonna be huge.

Cart before the horse situation but worth discussing. Hypothetically, let’s say Spencer, Luis, and Christian all come back healthy and effective from their rehab assignments. What are you doing?
Current rotation:
Framber
Hunter
Gusto
Gordon
Walter
LMJ
Likely getting sent down when rehabs complete:
Gordon
Walter
Ort?
Now here is where it gets interesting. The LMj dilemma.
Hunter
Framber
Arighetti
Garcia
Javier

Gusto to pen??? Who is on the trade market for a LH bat?

Two years ago KC was a legitimate prospect….Hit tool and power went away the last two years….anyone has to be better than Trammell.
Chas is on a rehab assignment……Dezenzo should be here in another few weeks I hope.
