We need to get healthy for the playoff run.

I don’t see it happening. Seems like every time we get a couple key pieces back, a couple more key pieces fall. Latest victim is Josh Hader, who has been lights out this season.

I think we are deep enough in the pitching department. But that lineup is completely different with Alvarez in it.

Losing Hader is really a tough blow. Getting some arms back should help but I am really concerned about the bullpen.

Abreu has to step up and hold the line… that’s key for this final division push.

Agree. Needs to take over closer role instead of 8th inning guy.

Those trash cans were loud in LA for the World Series. Won two games in LA. My favorite!

Astros lose 2 out of 3 to Baltimore and get clobbered and shutout in the 2 losses. Need a healthy Yordan Alvarez in the lineup. Dubin has been lit up like a Christmas tree in all 3 appearances in relief since coming off injured list. Very disappointing series.

Dubin has always been a AAAA pitcher to fill in, never part of the long term equation. What started it today was Javier leaving the game with Flu Symptoms.

Astros get clobbered again 10-0. They have been shutout 3 of the last 4 games and have been outscored 29-0 in those 3 games. Arrighetti took the loss today. He has struggled since returning from injured list. Pas bon.

Astros lose 1-0 in 10 innings. Shutout for third game in a row. Have not scored in last 28 innings. Walked 2 batters in a row with 2 outs to force in game winning run. Foote is going to have a meltdown on his radio show tomorrow. Don’t blame him.

The Astros are no longer the favorite (42%) to win the AL West. They are currently tied with the Mariners, with the Rangers trailing by two games. It certainly seems like this team has completely lost steam down the stretch, especially offensively. Ever since the Astros convincingly swept the Dodgers in July, they have been on a downward spiral.

Do we have enough in the tank to win this division?

They got a much needed win tonight 11-3.
