    Great season. My top 10 moments:

    Verlander no no
    Greinke trade
    Division clinch/Verlander 20th win
    100th win
    Sanchez no no
    Alvarez 1st Homer
    Cole 300th k
    Altuve 30th Hr
    Gurriel 30th hr
    Hinch 500th win

    This is probably one of the 20 best teams in MLB history.

    Good collection of videos. I forgot that Yordan hit a slam during the 23-run rout of the Orioles.

    This has been a crazy year. There have been dozens of individual moments and games that aren't even included here. There's an absolute ton of pitching highlights that get overlooked because of the offense. And fielding. Only black mark on the team is baserunning. That's more of a top 10 Astros bloopers article.

    Anyway, it's not even just about spot performances. There's been a lot of consistent greatness this year. Cole and JV duking it out for Cy Young is probably the best Astros thing this year, IMO. Yuli and Bregman putting up insane numbers in July and August. Harris having a 1.55 ERA. Altuve rocketing his batting average up to .300 after he was healthy. Brantley just being a professional hitter. Pressly's all-time scoreless streak. Yordan...period.

    Of the 15 "____ of the Month" awards given out this year in the AL, the Astros have 7 of the 15.

    Regardless of how we do in the playoffs, we really need to catalog all the amazing things that happened this regular season.

    Sadly, if we don’t win the WS, most of these things will be trivial.

    It all depends on whether or not we can finish it all. If we win the WS, this is a top 5 team of all time, and arguments could be made it’s the best since the 27 Yankees. If we don’t win the WS, we'll probably go down as one of the top 5 most talented teams that didn’t win it.

    Let’s be on the right list.
