Wasn't long ago Keuchel and McHugh were the Astros #1 and 2 starters. So there is some friendly, maybe not so friendly, history of competition there.

McHugh is looking like he'd do just fine every 5th day in the rotation... if a spot opens up. We could use a ground ball inducing, gold glove winning lefty in the pen right now. |

I wonder what our Pythagorean record is Doug will figure it out, he is the math major on the board. |

I wonder what our Pythagorean record is I remember when that record for us was super bad back in ‘08, and we finished with a winning record. Good old Loretta and Wigginton. |

This umpire can’t follow a breaking pitch. He is terrible.

So you could say the team has picked up two "lucky" wins. Coming into tonight's game, the team scored 49 runs and gave up 25.

Can you imagine how proud Pythagoras would be to know that, 2500 years later, people are using his math to forecast the outcomes of baseball games?  |

I guess the Greeks did invent the Olympics so they ought to know something about sports.

Looking like the Astros should have gone with a McHugh-Rondon tandem tonight.

Just need one of the next two to get on so Reddick can tie it up.

I love the way your posts match the expression in your avatar. Reminds me of my Maury Ballstein avatar Son.., I say son.., I’m done. This game is about as exciting as a case of diarrhea at an orgy. The visuals...damn you. |
