    Interesting that 3 of the teams they are competing with for that spot are amongst the top 6 teams in payroll and all were expected to be contenders this year. Phillies and Mets were top 5 in World Series odds.

    We make a lot of outs on the bases.

    Do the Astros lead the league in being picked off and thrown out? Bring back Gary Pettis and Jose Cruz. :confused:

    Jazz may be the worst challenger of strikes in the league.

    How much is on the base coaches and how much is on the intelligence of these players? There are some dummies on this team.

    Our pitchers are totally unable to hold runners and we balance it out by getting picked off a bunch. :)

    The Astro should consider all three pickoff attempts live options when facing a high-threat base-stealing team.

    If there were nine Aaron Judges in the Yankees lineup, the Astros would have swept this series.

    Astros would have walked 45 batters in the first two games in that scenario. Yankees could have won a few of those games without a hit.

    Arrighetti might pitch his way into being traded.

    Arighetti has been sensational in all of his 3 starts. I've said it before but he should've been in the rotation from the start.

    This may be a Berenstein Bears situation. I didn’t think he was that close in age to Altuve, either.

    All his playoff choke-jobs seem worse now that I know he can’t chalk it up to youth...
