ESPN posted:

With seven scoreless innings from Lance McCullers, the Astros' rotation ERA sits at 2.25. It's averaging 10.55 strikeouts per nine innings -- just about equal to Randy Johnson's career rate of 10.6. Batters are hitting .186 against them -- that's less than the .195 average Pedro Martinez held hitters to during his 1997-2002 peak. They've allowed a .254 wOBA -- only seven regular batters are worse this season. Incredible.

lol if you haven't always taken the stance "gently caress the Rangers" even when the Astros were in the NL

Also, still gently caress the Cardinals forever

I don't particularly care about the Athletics and Mariners and Angels. Hell, I've had a soft spot for the A's since I first read Moneyball back in 2005 and the Angels seem pretty fun right now.

Eventually this may shift, I guess

Ugh that's not good. Even if the team is better than last year, the competition is much more serious in the division this year

So are we going to be buyers again this year at the trade deadline, or stand firm? Feels like the team could still use relief help and maybe another bat

Is it wrong I'm kinda mad that we gave up five runs though?
