damn that was a satisfying win !!

keep racking up W's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was one of my favorite wins of the year so far. Every win with this lineup is a bonus


I’m not sure every win is a bonus.

we’re still fielding a + MLB pitching staff.
and maybe we actually have a bunch of major league ready guys finally getting to play in the majors now that they aren’t blocked by actual MLB All Stars.
No, this lineup probably won’t produce a .500 season over 162 games, but I’m not so sure it wouldn’t play .450 - .475 ball which would be good enough to be ahead of the Angels and Mariners in the West right now.

I feel the same way...any game that is won by the likes of Fisher, Mayfield, Kemp and Straw is a bonus. Especially in games started by guys not named Verlander and Cole. 

That was a fucking great win. 

Trunks keep poppin'

Tops keep droppin' down in Houston 

3 stars out, non jv/cole game, bregs/brantley quiet. yeah, that’s s bonus win. 

1-0 on the new season. 

32 to go. 

puts us in great shape to win yet another series. peacock rebounded nicely from walks and the homer. 

watching mayfield making some plays, on what's probably his one and only call up is just fun to watch

FYI, the MLB draft starts on Monday

Big jump in competition in one promotion for Humberto.

maybe some spots are about to free up in AAA or they want to showcase him against AAA hitting ?

Alvarez got intentionally walked 3 times last night.  I was wondering when teams were going to stop pitching to him.

Even more reason he needs to be called up. 

Outstanding effort all around last night. After La Pina's baserunning gaffe I wasn't confident, but the boys came through late. Love what we're getting out of Peacock right now. 

Peacock has been great since he started working out of the windup. Last 5 starts - 0.93 ERA. Just another example of great coaching by the Astros.

It’s as if the baseball gods granted the Astros excellence on aspects of the game... “but you’re gonna be spectacularly shitty on the basepaths, whether it’s an MVP type player or rookie”

 

”and ya gotta play Tyler White.”

These recent call ups / Miley / last couple of seasons for uncle Charlie / Verlander going back to being Verlander / Presley / not over paying for DK  / extending bregman Altuve hinch pressley ....... just to name few .....

lot of winning by lunhow and his staff 

 

fisher needs to keep hitting, he’ll be the center piece of a trade

I saw June 8th as a possible date.  I don't know enough about Super 2 to know if that date is accurate

I hope Tyler White is on a week to week lease

1st - Jordan A / yuli 

2nd - Altuve / kemp / Diaz

ss - bregman / Diaz 

3rd - yuli /  bregman / Diaz 

I’m fine with this set up until Daniella gets back 

hate to see mayfield being the odd man out

I would put signing Brantley before Miley

If they were planning to have Alvarez at 1st, he’d have played more there in the minors. Expect to see him at LF/DH more.

It's close enough that they should have a decent idea of when the Super 2 cutoff date is gonna be.

Astros were not planning on the Correa injury. He’ll end up playing some 1st, especially if he takes white’s spot 

He’s not taking Jake or Kemp’s spot. I don’t see him breaking into the current OF rotation. At alI (I’m assuming springer isn’t gone for an extended time)

A name from the past.

CONGRATS WULAW HORN, OUR MAY WINNER, MISSING THE RUN DIFFERENTIAL BY JUST 1 RUN!!!!!

 

I remember in the days of the Astros.com message board, there would be a monthly thread in which people would enter predictions on record (W-L) and a number of runs scored / allowed. It was a fun process, with all of us keeping track through out the month looking at who was most accurate to date.

I think you’re more likely to see Brantley or even Reddick there. If they liked him at 1st, they’d be playing him more. They’re not even after all the injuries.

reddick has too much glove in RF to get bumped to play some 1st lulz

He and Brantley were playing first during ST, I think.

Correct. They prepared for that possibility. They’re still not playing Alvarez at 1st in the minors.

Lulz

Probably don't want White to get hurt because he's the key to the Bumgarner deal. 

Verlander to pass Cy Young on K list tonight....and may pass Mussina as well
