If not for those errors, Altuve's historic offensive performance would be getting more attention.

Greinke’s curve didn’t work that time.

I call BS on Arozarena getting to the majors on pushups and chicken and rice.

Big bomb by George puts us back up 4-2. Maldonado has scored two runs tonight.

Gosh, Javier. Dusty has to pull you now. Can’t locate a fastball.

I hope to God that Dusty leaves Javier in. I cringed when he brought Pressly in. He usually sucks when he comes in after the inning starts. We got lucky when Adames hit the bottom of the wall with that double. |

Once you get the first one, anything can happen. We are not dead by a long shot. I guess he starts Valdez tomorrow. |

If Dusty had shown the confidence in Urquidy last night that he did in Greinke, the series may be tied 2-2.

If Dusty had shown the confidence in Urquidy last night that he did in Greinke, the series may be tied 2-2. The "ifs" should fall on:. If the Astros could hit with RISP, they would be at least 3-1 in this series. |

If the Astros could hit with RISP, they would be at least 3-1 in this series. I would go so far as to say: "If the Astros could have had just a little better fortune on all of their lineouts with RISP, they would be at least 3-1 in this series." |

Our lack of getting hits is no excuse for the stupid move Baker made by pulling Urquidy. He got hammered on the post-game for it and rightfully so. Dusty Baker needs to be removed as manager of the Astros in the off-season.........He won't be due to Crane being forced to admit ne was wrong by extending him so soon as well as being accused of racism for firing poor, old Dusty. |

You will never go so far as to admit that Jose Altuve's throwing errors opened the door to us losing both games two and three. In any case, it is a fact that he opened the gates for the Rays scoring EIGHT of the NINE runs they scored in those games. We had great at bats......the Rays made outstanding defensive plays that robbed us of hits and runs. Deflect it any way you choose.......Altuve blew game two and he and Baker combined to give away game three. |

Of course I would not blame the loses squarely on Dusty and Altuve, for games 2 and 3....Altuve is basically providing the main offense in this series... Games 2 and 3, if you can't score more than 2 runs, then pitching was not the problem....That trumps Atluve's error or pulling Urquidy...If your team can't score runs, then they won't win....Everything else is meaningless. |

They way the Astros are scoring runs, they would need to pitch a shutout every game to win a game....I hope the score 4+ runs tonight, so they have a chance. |

Yes, we have to put runs on the board. But, errors and poor managerial decisions add to the amount of runs we need to score. Jose has been our most productive hitter, but, he has given away more runs than he produced. |
