Astros Open Forum: Key takeaways from Games 1 & 2, ALDS.
Thomas B. Shea-USA TODAY Sports What have we learned so far. What do you think? What have we learned from Game 1 & 2? I will offer a few of my own random observations, but this is really about what YOU think. Carlos Correa had three hits but he has also looked bad striking out four times in eight AB’s. He also made a tremendous fielding play to start Game 2. Is his back OK? I say yes, but with so little playing time in the last six weeks, he is probably trying to regain his timing at the plate. Let him play even if he stumbles again, unless he gets hurt, of course. The Astros came...

Game Thread 156. September 21st, 2019, 6:10 CDT. Angels vs Astros.
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports Wade Miley pitches for an Astros clinch with a win tonight. Join the discussion. After two abysmal starts earlier this month in which Wade Miley could only get one out, his last start was a bounce back of sorts, going six innings allowing only two runs. Has he righted the ship? Is he “playoff ready?” Tonight’s performance might shed light on those questions. Carlos Correa is baaaaaaaaaaack. Two home runs last night, so the preliminary verdict on whether Correa is “playoff ready” after his injury is a YES. Facing Miley tonight for the Angels is...
