The Houston Astros Just Did EXACTLY What MLB Feared...

The Houston Astros are rolling once again and MLB can't do anything to stop them. After the Houston Astros got off to one of their worst starts to a season in years, MLB thought that maybe their reign might be over. That just isn't the case though. The Houston Astros are once again proving that they are a dominant force in baseball and should not be slept on. In this video we discuss how the Houston Astros went from an abysmal start to the season to where they are right now, a serious threat in baseball.

Yep, when the Astros pitching gets healthy, they will be a force to reckon with. Probably won't be until next season. Imagine have these starting pitcher's next season: Javier, Verlander, Urquidy, Brown, and Blanco. Backup starters Arrighetti, France and McCullers if he ever gets healthy.

King Tuck, please come back! this is so similar to when Uncle Mike aka Michael Brantley went down in his final two years with the Astros and it felt like getting him back would be just what the offense needed to really just dominate. So instead, the Astros ofc have to just squeak by instead of dominating as they should be doing (sans injuries), but hey... whatever it takes, am I right? (WITHIN REASON)

Hell, sweeping the Orioles WITH him would still have been impressive, but yes... doing it without him was even moreso. But it's really the pitching that has disappointed more than the offense or defense this year. Once they're hitting on all cylinders for longer than a few days at a time, they will be a force to be reckoned with. I hope they can maintain this momentum increase through the All-Star Break in a week or two.

This Astros team reminds me of the 2001 Oakland A’s. They got off to a horrible start, but began surging right before the halfway period. A’s started at 39-42 and would go on to win 102 games after an insane second half. After seeing this streak and the Astros sweeping the Orioles, I think 100+ wins this season is possible. Will it be difficult, absolutely, but with Jose Abreu gone and Loperfido back out there, I think they can do it.

He then homered twice in a row, scoring 4 RBIs and making the difference in the win. Baffling, but awesome.

[@thelyonking5812]

For as amazing as Kyle Tucker is, he isn’t even the reason for the surge. He’s been injured for all of June. Luckily his replacement Joey Loperfido is a beast at plate and is hitting with amazing consistency. The real difference has been the improvement in pitching. Pressley and Hader have finally gotten it together and are doing well out of the bullpen. Hunter Brown has been one of the best pitchers in the league over June after posting an ERA over 9 in April. Spencer Arrighetti has shown a lot of development in June too. I also think the release of Jose Abreu was a major wake up call for the team as well. Along with that, Alex Bregman has finally found his swing and gotten his mojo at the plate back, he always starts the season slow so this wasn’t any surprise for long time Astros fans.

[@CryptoPaysMeDaily]

Hader has been a bust for the most part and Pressley needs to retire. I have never seen 2 pitches blow more games. Pretty unreal.

[@robk9388]

@@CryptoPaysMeDailyI'm not trying to defend for Hader but I do believe he still has that fire to get back to dominating.

That's why the American league usually wins the all-star games and World Series. World Series winners AL - 68 vs NL- 51

Houston Astros have 5 starting pitchers out. That is why they are struggling. Out for the season are Javier (our ace), Urquidy, McCullers, Garcia & France. Verlander has been out most of the season as well. They are starting pitchers who had no or very little experience as starters. Once they dumped Jose Abreu, they started winning. Why they had him starting when he was batting under .100 is a mystery. The GM made a terrible signing, giving an old, past his prime player $58.5M over 3 years. He only played one full year and was average. In essence they paid him almost $60M for one season. They should have kept our prior 1st baseman at a fraction of the cost.

[@AwesTex]

It's borderline hilarious now listening back to people who said a month ago that it looks like Houston is done with a steadfast refusal to admit that injuries were a factor. I simply do not understand how you can declare a dynasty dead in May without talking about the fact that they have like 9 injured starting pitchers. Bullpen is still a problem (though one easily addressed). Espada's questionable gametime decisions are a problem. So is the outfield offense. ESPECIALLY in Tucker's absence. McCormick and Meyers have been DREADFUL lately and Loperfido can't start against lefties. But still, to deny their talent is just pure hate and nothing else.

[@frankohrt3347]

The Astros have spent almost the whole year with an entire starting pitching staff - Verlander, McCullers, Javier, Garcia, and Urquidy - on the injured list. They are back over .500, on an 11-2 win streak. Looks like MAMA (Make America Mad Again!).

Guys, guys… Guys… Please always remember that baseball is not about who’s better.

Right now, the Houston Astros are on fire, if they keep this synergy they can compete in the playoffs easily. Really in truly though, when it comes to the final 4 and the world series, the only team that’s ever going to win is who’s hot, who’s stealing bases, who’s getting hits to get off base, the teams that are actually making movements each inning and not staying stagnant and allow the other team opportunities to get points and fuel their detriment. edit: the start of the season the Braves started out hot, now they slowed down and then the Phillies started to be hot, now they are starting to stagnate as well.

The head coach is not letting the pitchers pitch what they want best way they were losing at first I don't know if they're letting the pitchers pitch what they want now, but you remember Dusty Baker he was letting the pitchers pitch what they wanted, but the area that Dusty Baker messed up on was when Dusty would take out the pitchers, and the other team didn't even get a run; you don't do that! you take out the pitcher when the other team getting runs especially on the playoff game or more than that in the world series game and that's what Dusty Baker was doing that's why the Astros lost
