This is a cute post from the Arlington thread:
"I think there is plenty of time:
Current, Projected => Final
HOU: 47-33, 40-42 => 87-75
TEX: 40-41, 47-34 => 87-75
9G H2H
HOU: 16-6 in June
TEX: 12-10 in June
Let's see where we are at the ASG. And then again at the TDL. "

The flip side is the Phillies just saw our best 3. They get Framber Sunday but the first two are not exactly Ryan and JV.

They're also undefeated in Cooper Hummel starts, I think it's up to 8-0 after today

Even though they lost, 2019 is still my favorite. And surprisingly 2021 also holds fond memories for me. I think it's because first year with fans since the scandal, got the most boos/hate and still won the pennant. Also Altuve was peak clutch that season.
no. Everyone needs to stop with the extend Peña crap. Hunter should be the priority. Period. The series should be the proof. Pitching wins games/championships.W said:

This might be my favorite team of the dynasty, because there is no logical argument for them to be up 6.5 at the halfway point. Almost every prognosticator had us between 80-86 wins, and we are on a 96 win pace against the tougher half of our schedule. We could currently field a pretty solid starting rotation off our IL. Our "best" hitters going into this season have either missed more than they have played (yordan) or terribly regressed (altuve, diaz, walker), but here we are.
2nd half goals: match first half record; extend Jeremy Pena; Clinch division sometime in mid-September, then when our 3rd title in 9 season!

I will NEVER get over 2019. That was the best ****ing team i can remember - not just the best Astros team. By any measure, this team was an all-timer. Pretty much the epicenter of my Dusty-hate/conspiracy theory, because I still don't see any better explanation for that team not winning it all.

Now if Hunter says FU and pulls the Tucker card then yes lock Jeremy down but Hunter needs to be the priority
the will harris cutter down and out of the zone being shot off the foul pole is one of those 1/1,000 outcomes that sit with you for a long time. Thank god for '22 and who knows, maybe this year too+ 2 more quotes (click to expand)tjack16 said:

If I recall correctly, Dusty wasn't even in the dugout most of the time in the '19 World Series. That's how little he cared about the Astros that year.+ 2 more quotes (click to expand)tjack16 said:
