All *we saw last night was the superior team eventually flexing their muscle. Houston is better than Seattle in every way.
The Ms showed their best and its not as good. They have to play over their heads to win this thing. No surprises.
It's not over, but it's probably over. -
Now it's over.

It was always over.
The Ms have put together a nice team. They look like they belong there, but aren't quite a threat to a team as deep as Houston yet. Need a couple more dangerous bats, continued improvement from a couple of guys like Julio, Munoz, Kirby, and Gilbert and another good bullpen arm or two.
They're right there, but Houston is the model and it's easy to see where Seattle doesn't match up. If you can't find a guy like Alvarez for the middle of the order then you need a couple of guys like Turner to replace him. Houston, unfortunately, has both. -
They will have a couple more "mature" bats and arms next year...these guys are not ready for prime time, yet...they are good (the Astros are top-two for me), they are in it, but haven't been able to finish. That comes with experience, and experience is often painful, as "we" all know...Astros are dominant at home. Let's see what happens this weekend, and IF we get to game 5, all bets are off...EWIWBI...

Anybody think it's starting to click for Kelenic?

It's possible. He looks a bit better at the plate. He has flashed the ability to take tough pitches and hit the ball the other way at times in the past. When he is hitting the ball he tends to hit it hard and probably has the most pure power of any of their hitters.BleachedAnusDawg said:Anybody think it's starting to click for Kelenic?
He doesn't have to be amazing, .240 with 20+ homers would help them.
Bigger question for me is Jesse Winker. Is he burnt toast or is he capable of hitting 25 homers with high slugging and BA?
Nobody aside from Julio, Raleigh, and a couple of young starters had a exceptiinal seasona vs exoectations. Several of the guys they needed on offense were hurt or had downturns (huge downturn in Winker's case), and this is where it got them. It's not a finished product but there's still plenty of reason to think this isn't their best yet. -
im not familiar with winkers time before the mariners but hopefully next year he can get back to that standard. i assume he wont be leaving any time soon.

fire servais in the dugout for putting diego castillo in this game

They have Winker for one more arbitration year I think. I can't recite his stats but he tore it up in Cincinnati for the healthy parts of three seasons or so, like high .900 ops. I think the short fences there probably helped him some, but he still hit way, way below expectations.phineas said:im not familiar with winkers time before the mariners but hopefully next year he can get back to that standard. i assume he wont be leaving any time soon.
