Could be worse. You could be a Blue Jays fan. At least the West is still within reach if the Astros turn it around. Blue Jays sitting in last 8.5 games out with 3 against the O's and 3 against the Rays this week. Could be ugly a week from today.

OAK is definitely a long shot. So I'm hoping for a split with HOU and a series win against KC. As a Giants fan, I try to watch as little MLB baseball as possible, because I like the hair that I have left on my head.

Alrighty the ‘Stros have already surprised me by winning the first game… I figured at best we would win the last couple so I’m kinda impressed… could we be turning a corner?!?!

Yes Astros seem to be playing a bit better lately. They will get hot at some point. Maybe they aren't the Astros of old (perennial world series contender) but they are too talented to continue to play this bad.

We have blown I think it is 9 saves in the first 1/4 of the year... I feel like that is at a historic rate honestly... 36 blown saves in a season just seems impossible

Odd. Astros have usually had a good bullpen. They picked up Hader, plus Pressley while not flashy was always one of the top closers in the league and you had guys like Abreu and Montero that were always solid. On paper it looks like one of the better bullpens.
Maybe one of those things were a team gets in a swoon and nothing seems to go right and then it's a thing, "how are we going to blow this one".
