Just saw that Cory Kluber lost again today...guy is having a 1987 Nolan Ryan season. Unbeliviable that he's 3-8 with basically the same numbers as last year.

I'm enjoying my "90-loss season". Are you enjoying yours?

If you think the Astros are going away next year, or anytime soon, you're only fooling yourself.

Of course, everyone here knows that everything you say is full of foolish.

So you have no argument so you resort to personal attacks no matter how wrong you are? Astros have some young players with potential. But they strike out way too much don't get on base enough and I don't see their pitching holding up. Springer, Altuve, and Correa is a nice core, but you need more.

Can each of you please put the other on ignore so that neither of you get banned please?

What exactly was AJ Hinch's argument there? Clearly the right call was made.

I read recently that 4 teams in history led the Majors in homers and strikeouts. Two of them, a Yankees team from the 50s or 60s and the 1976 Reds, won the World Series.

Whether Houston makes the playoffs or not is beside the point. They have arrived a year early. You better get used to Houston being a force, they aren't going away.

And, no, what I said was not a personal attack - it was fact. You say you could get the Mariners to the World Series in a year or two. How do expect people to react to that? My impression is that you're either mentally challenged, delusional or in Junior High. Seriously.

Jack Z isn't qualified to run a Dairy Queen much less a baseball team that's the point I was trying to make. Personally I have no problem with you what so ever.

He is another prime example of why W-L records are pointless.

If the Astros make the playoffs, I'll be the 1st to S admit I was wrong about them. But they need to start hitting better striking out less and getting on base more. Solo homeruns wont beat you, 3 run shots will.

The Astros are top 5 in pitching, top 10 on defense, and obviously can slug with anyone. It's a great formula to make the playoffs...winning in the playoffs becomes tougher, but they most certainly can make the playoffs the way they are playing.

They can't sustain it, though. Remember?

Spoiler

W-L records in pitchers. 3-9 doesn't show how Kluber is actually playing and what value he brings to his team.

Felix went 13-12 in 2010 but was without question the best pitcher in the AL that year hense why he won the CY Young. Should have won it last year too, but that's a argument for a different day.

Re: 6/15 - 6/28 Game Discussion Thread

Well Felix is the best pitcher in franchise history.

Randy Johnson? If Felix continue on his current pace he'll be right with him though. Also dont like the fact Randy us goin into the hall as a Diamondback.

Walker is 4-1 with a 2.04 ERA in his last 5 starts. Not too bad, hes also not walking anyone, hell its rare he even reaches a 3 ball count lately. I think he's starting to turn the corner. Now we need to get Iwakuma back, and hope Edgar can work his magic with the hitters. If we want to do anything this year we have to start turning the corner as a team.
