Astros pitcher Blanco just retired 21 batters in a row. After 7 innings, Astros up 7-0 looking for first win of the season.

Win one for Dusty! He’s also a big part of the change within the organization this season.

68, you are hanging tough. You start your own thread about your team and you know full well its gonna catch some flack. I counted 8 to 10 times you had to bite your tongue, so far. Credit for knowing when you go out in the rain, youre gonna need an umbrella. Astros fans should be proud of you. BTW, I have no problem cheering for the Astros when Im not cheering for the Rangers. Fully agree.

George Springer was walked as the lead off batter and next to last batter in the 9th. Heck of a pitching effort, and a great win for the Astros.

Yup. 8th MLB start ever, 1st complete game, 1st shutout, 1st no-no (obviously), earliest season no-no in MLB history, and Espada's first managerial win.

I thought Astros fans were worried about the rotation and they get a no hitter in the first week.
Pass the gravy.

I thought Astros fans were worried about the rotation and they get a no hitter in the first week. While I think there were questions with the number of injuries, the current rotation has the 2nd lowest ERA in the bigs thus far. It's the bullpen that's been crapping the bed. That and Alvarez and Bregman are ice cold right now too.

It looks like Dana Brown crapped the bed on the Hader deal. Astros do not appear to be playing well for Espada. I’m trying to understand why Espada would move Alvarez from an RBI to a set he table position in the batting order?

However much the new, high dollar reliever is getting paid it’s too much. He’s blown two saves so far.

I think at the end of the day, it comes down to getting your best hitters the most number of at-bats. At this point, I'm not really concerned. A few folks just need to find theselves and their groove. It's only a matter of time... this team is too talented.
