Astros are for real

[Dick B Back]

Gattis was hitting at a Joyce level till recently hitting 2 HRs with 6 RBIs in his last 4 games. He's heating up.

Altuve is hitting .435 over his last 10 games with 12 RBIs from the leadoff spot. He's been carrying them.

Schooled? Because of one month? They are 2-1 against us. Have they faced KC yet? If it wasn't for our four game against KC we would be tied. What's your definition of schooled?

actually I'm not.

however, the angels are getting schooled on the field. By a loser franchise with less than half the payroll

[Hollyw00d]

well being 5 games behind them and its barely may is a good example

[OregonLAA]

Surprised they are in 1st looking at some of these batting averages

 

RF Springer .205

DH Gattis .182

1b Carter .152

3b Valbuena .220

C Castro .210

SS Villar  .167

LF Rasmus .242

LF Grossman .143

C Conger .133

Low averages, lots of home runs and lots of strike outs. It will be interesting to see how it plays out for a whole season. I still don't think it will work, but we will see

[fan_since79]

I'm not worried. The Astros don't have anyone with Hall of Fame numbers like we do.

[nando714]

They're running away with it

[Lou]

just like the A's did last year

steals, good bullpen (so far) and winning close games.

but ALTUVE!

 

funny how this was glossed over. I bet he just looked at the wins and ALTUVE! 

[ABC]

<p>I find it much more impressive when a team develops and builds a successful team from within and with their farm system, screw how high their draft picks are. Teams lose and go through low points, it happens. Funny how many here are on their high horse considering the angels aren't some legendary franchise.</p> <p> </p> <p>its much more impressive then trying to buy a championship (and failing) like Moreno.</p>

 

ok.

[ettin]

And we haven't even seen Carlos Correa yet. He really does look like a superstar type player. Astros are relevant now and for the next few years.

[stormngt]

Just like the A's did last year.

They're running away with it

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Shame that their uniforms look like they were made at a sporting goods store.

Not just Altuve. Marisnick is hitting .383/.433/.667.

[nando714]

BELIEVE

they'll be 6 games up by the end of the night

[tomsred]

World Series Champions, can we have the entire Salt Lake Roster come up now.

[Ohtaniland]

The Houston pitchers will wilt under the Texas sun. 

 

That's all I got.

[Troll Daddy]

The Houston pitchers will wilt under the Texas sun.

That's all I got.

It has a retractable roof.

[Blarg]

Maybe it will jamb open from July through August.

[Ohtaniland]

F'n Conger put some kind of Korean hex on the rest of the west.

[Ender]

It's been a dark season so far for the M's and Angels it seems. I don't know what the **** they are drinking in Houston.

[Angel Oracle]

Altuve's quickly becoming one of my favorite players. Looks like a damn midget out there on the field, but he just tears it up

More talented version of Freddie Patek

[Angel Oracle]

They are doing it in spite of Springer and Carter struggling to hit .200.

[sneaky_flute]

I love my 'stros

[Angel Oracle]

And they already lead 3-0 in the 2nd today, courtesy of a Gattis Jimmy Jack.
