Well the Astros finally changed their act in Arlington and scored some runs, winning another series and maintaining their season-long habit of having ultimately successful road trips.
Hallelujah!
On that note I have decided not to beat the Bregman, Gurriel, Maldonado, Castro, Siri, Dubon drum for a while.
After all, Yordan Alvarez is simply en fuego. Altuve isn't far behind. Brantley has been his old self and Tucker is quietly having a good season himself. I just can't say enough good things about Jeremy Pena! I just hope he fully mends with alacrity and comes back even better.
The pitching staff hasn't been quite as good, but they've been good enough, and I feel like were a couple of weeks away from getting Odorizzi back and McCullers hopefully by the all star break, and JV and FV are looking like a solid 1-2 punch come playoff time, although it would be nice to add another starter or at least a LHRP.
