You Gotta Give It To The Astros

[JoJo26]

6-2 since they fired Bo Porter....against the 3 best teams in the AL West.

 

They play hard and they got great young talent...and no 100 losses this season...

 

Weirdest end of the season schedule for Houston too. 3 games at the Mets (of all teams)

[Second Base]

Their interim coach is someone the Angels needed to fight harder to keep. At least they still have Hampton.

[bloodbrother]

I hope the Angels follow suit and beat the crap out of Seattle to help dash their hopes of making the playoffs

Props to MLB for knowing both teams suck and putting them together knowing both won't be in a pennant race.

It was said during the game today that Dino Ebel is on the candidate list for the Astros Managerial position.

so is Bengie Molina

[LAAMike]

Scotty - I agree with you on Bogar but he was blocked with the Angels.

[ukyah]

it's baseball etiquette to let guys go when they are offered advancement opportunities. i don't have a problem with the practice.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Was gonna post something earlier about this. The stros keep on winning. They still need some time before it all clicks, and last weeks series possed me off, but good for them. Good seeing young up and coming teams getting after it.

Altuve is a studdddd....

[Inside Pitch]

Houston has been playing well for a while now.   They are 26-25 since the ASB.

[Angel Oracle]

Altuve is kind of like a righty hitting version of Moe Jorgan (starting HOF career in Houston) at the plate and on the bases. Small in height but not small in talent level.

[arch stanton]

There was only one direction for them to go from the past few seasons so it's not really a surprise. The question is always how far these teams can rise before they plateau.

[stormngt]

They are 10-5 from August 25th.

and all against ALwest.

[Angel Oracle]

21-16 since August 1

Oakland is 15-23 since August 1.

[WallyWorld]

I'm glad we've got a comfortable lead in the division. They're a pesky team.

[Erstad Grit]

That Franchise is on a wonderful trajectory. 

[QuinlansMinion]

1) I dont have to give them anything.

2) I hope we sweep them.

3) Yes I am a load of fun at parties.

Teams always do better immediately after firing dysfunctional managers.

How about the Rangers?

[Guest]

I'm guessing there will be an Astros Gameday thread here in 2015/2016 since they are going to be very competitive

. That organization has vaults filled with top prospects...their owner probably probably gets wood from 100 loss seasons just so he can add some more to his collection.

Their entire MLB roster could die in a plane crash tomorrow and they'd still have a good team.

Hey Ben, it's Billy. Can we do a do over?

[stormngt]

They were doing pretty good before Porter was fired. They maybe tough next year

Damn what's with all the Seattle hate lol.

Their pitching worries me the most in a short series. We saw how tight the games were the last time they faced each other
