So we're on pace to score 40, unless they tie it up.

 Is Devenski still injured?

I’d still take take Bagwell’s right shoulder...today... over devo

The Stros had the Killer B’s back in the day.

Now we have  these Y’s Guys are there any other Y name players we can get in a trade.

Framber Valdez is IMO the biggest positive story this season. He looks like a legit 3 or 4 WAR SP.  This is someone the Astros signed for $10,000.

"I changed my number too.  The front 4 is now the back 4."

Yordan's got jokes too

SF trying to blow a 5 run lead in the 9th over Oakland.  Tying run at the plate with 1 out.

EDIT - and unbelievably, Piscotty hits the GS to tie it.  He had a walkoff GS already this year.

So this year has sucked so far, obviously, but I’m not going to stress too much about it because 8 teams get in the playoffs, no fans exist, so there’s really no benefit to being anything more than slightly less shitty than the 9th best team in the league. It’s a hurdle I think we will clear, at which point in time nobody has any advantage. 
you could actually argue if you think the yankees and Dodgers are really that good that you’d be best off being the 8th seed anyway since that’s just a three game set. In baseball the 2011 Astros could beat the Yankees of 1927 best 2 out of three and it wouldn’t mean anything or be much of a surprise. 
the good thing, so far, to come out of this season is that there’s a lot of talent, seemingly, in the home grown starting pitching market- a lot of #3 types. We were going to have to rebuild the top end of the starting rotation after 2021 which was going to be hard. If you have 4 or 5 guys with #2-4 type ability that you are paying next to nothing that makes it a lot easier to go get a hammer.  It also might make Springer more able to be afforded. I’m assuming Correa is gone completely.  
If some of these kids are legit it extends our competitive window into 2025-2026

If you were ever going to have a throw away season this is it. 
Whoever said this reminds of 2000 where we went from 3 division titles, to terrible, to playoffs in 3 of the next 5 years feels right. 
 

If we can get out of 2020 in our down year sneaking into the playoffs so much the better.

Where’s the runs given up per game stat?

4.6 RA. 17th, right in the middle of the MLB pack. 

Our pythag W-L has the Astros record at 11-8.

I think the Can't Score Crap in Extra Innings stat is the one y'all are looking for.

Correct. 1-4 in extra innings is muy mal.

#2876

Yep.

5 for 37, .135 BA.

worst in the majors in extra innings.

and that’s with the largest sample size. No other team has played 5 extra inning games.

But god forbid, in 45 plate appearances in extra innings, we’d attempt to bunt once.

Wtf Biagini has been useless and thinks he's a comedian when he's just a fucking idiot. I'd be cool with Bailey taking his spot on the roster.

It will be fun to see everyone filled with Astros hate lose their shit if we sneak in as the final playoff team due to the team right behind us having a COVID outbreak the last weekend of the season.  Then we go on and win the whole fucking thing.

Javier at his best is something to behold. If only he had Framber’s consistency.

Shed Long on Yordan's grounder:

it did have like a 113 exit velo, so not quite the Pre-Madonna Dorne move.

Machete with the huge chop-down at 2nd.

 

Then some Pineapple power.  La Pina!!!
