This is almost unbelievable, it’s like the Astros are doing it with smoke and mirrors they keep winning. And that is with 17 men leading the majors in men on the injured list, including four every day starters, and three starting pitchers.  and it’s not just any starters,…

Thank goodness for Brice Matthews with his offense and defense he almost single-handedly helps the Astros win their first series in the last four. And what a win it was. And don’t look now @Astros fans- after all the injuries and everything that happened =>>

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! He did it again! Brice Boom Matthews! @Astros #BuiltForThis
Come on @Astros this would be a darn shame for Framber to lose this game as good as he pitched tonight. Let’s D- Go!
Jeez -no other centerfielder except Chaz was that a double. Why the hell he is in there instead of Trammell makes zero sense. @Astros
We are one week past the All-Star game. Is it OK to ask now, when are some of our guys gonna be back? When is Jake gonna be back? When is Yordan going to be back? When is Jeremy Peña going to be back? I will take any one of them right now. @Astros #BuiltForThis
The way @RealToddKalas is describing very well how Framber could easily be 12-0 in his last 12 starts-I think makes my case, that it should’ve been Framber Valdez making the All-Star team / if only one of the starters could. @Astros
Okay, Framber. I know you’re the ace of the team, but with the lineup behind you tonight, anything less than a complete game shut out & you could end up as the loser. If the Astros score more than 2 runs tonight, then I’m calling it now: this is a magical year for the @Astros
You are right @SeanTPendergast @brandonkscott Colton Gordon gave a good outing last night. Three runs, six innings-we need to start getting that out of Lance McCuller’s Jr and Hunter Brown (lately).
How important was yesterday‘s win @Astros fans? Seattle had all the momentum from winning the first 2 games-had a 3-0 lead, and if they could’ve held on, would’ve been 2 games out of first place. Instead, Astros with a huge comeback win and a win tonight are back to 5 games ahead
I really like the way Caratini calls the game behind the plate. With his consistent hitting, and his steadiness behind the plate, I say again, I really believe he should be our every day catcher, especially when.Yordan gets back and is the DH. @Astros #BuiltForThis
Wow!! Now Brice Matthews becomes Boom Boom Brice! @Astros #BuiltForThis
Okay, 5 2/3 innings three runs that is about as good as we can expect from Colton Gordon. But thank goodness Espada is not pressing his luck -this is the right time to get him out of there - thank you Joe Espada! @Astros. #BuiltForThis
#Stropoll @SpaceCityHN @blummer27 B: Victor Caratini just barely edging out ‘tuve.
I am not for walking batters, especially I hate it when the @Astros pitchers do it with nobody out-but next time Suarez comes to the plate with two out and nobody on base, please pitch around him, even if it means walking him.
