[Official] Athletics @ Astros

Winner winner. Any day you are alive is nice, but dammit some are just better than others.

 

The Astros are going to win every game started by Dallas and Collin..

 

Hell, I didn't even have to use my AK.

 

4-5 record with our best hitters barely doing anything is pretty great actually.

 

Astros win. Rockets Clinch division. USA beats mexico. Gattis gets a HR. McHugh is the shiznit and boozle didnt even have to use his AK.

 

Well, not many teams have gotten the sort of pitching performances from their #1 and #2 pitchers that the Astros have gotten out of Keuchel and McHugh, that was a big part of why they have 4 wins.

Pitching is indeed more important... but I do expect the hitters to start coming around here soon.

 

Gattis!

 

THIS. They both seem to take CONTROL of games. Really great to see that 1-2 punch in the Houston lineup. We just need first outing Feldman to show up more often than the last outing...and our 4-5 pitchers haven't been too shabby. The starting pitching has definitely been a pleasant surprise, while the offense needs to get their butts in gear.

Also, I could see us trading for a bonafide no 1/2 like Cole Hamels if we stay competitive by July

 

Great to avoid the sweep.

4-5 is a very decent record considering the cold bats. We've got the pitching... if our batting comes around, we can win 85+ games.

 

I feel like Gattis channeled all his frustrations to start the season into that one swing. Dude hit that pitch a TON. Hopefully this is the start of his real turnaround.
