Apologies to Ozzy.
I don't see the rotation lasting, there are holes in the line up, they are a deep team, and they have many kids still learning.
The bullpen was patch worked in the off season, and they are a year removed from the high 90's in losses. So I am just to believe they have turned the corner and are the best team ahead of King Felix / Cano and the Mariners ? That they will dethrone the Angels and surpass the Athletics ?
Yup, I think that is about right. But they are in mid May and stilling 2 out of 3 every time out. They take the lead and hold it, they come from behind, they move runners, they get timely hits and they make plays in the field. That is a nice mixture.
The only caveat I have is that it is May 15th, and way too early. I remember saying that 2 years ago about the Orioles, and they led almost wire to wire. O's did not have the starting pitching, no true ace. Winning just those 1 run games, but they made it to the playoffs, and the Astros look similar and look different.
The Astros have no true ace, despite Dallas Keuchel, the rotation does not appear that it can stand all throught the season, and they day today line up isn't as potent as Baltimore's.
I will check back at the All Star break and see where they are. If they are still on this wild ride, will they add players, because they have kids coming, but it has been a long time between James Richard and Terry Puhl, even Biggio and crew are long forgotten, but those wild coloured Dis Astros are playing some fun baseball in Texas.
I would love to see them last a while longer, it is adding a new dimension to the game. KC Royals, Houston Astros , so c'mon Blue Jays,add your name to the mix/
