They are baseball’s boogeyman, the Baba Yaga.

They are lurking under the bed in the darkness far enough away that you don’t notice them close enough that they can still pounce.

They are six games back of the, of the Seattle Mariners in the division four games back in the wild card.

Not close, not far, definitely in the mix but not too much in the mix.

The Astros three very dominant wins over the Orioles getting ahead early in all three of these games.

Friday’s game was a football score 14 to 11 total crap show there so bad.

This looks like a terrible team.

Like if you watch this inning, it looked like a terrible team, but then they then come back with like a seven spot two innings later, but it was too late.

Just a reminder of this Orioles offense Orioles pitching though.

You know, we, we got some, we got some issues, you know, we’re having some, we’re having some trouble.

Kyle Bradish did ultimately end up having Tommy John, which sucks.

And since then the rotation has really been struggling.

And for the Astros, you know, they have two really good pitchers Fromer who we knew and apparently Ronell Blanco and so when those two guys are on their game, they can win a series, they can apparently sweep a series and we know what the offense is capable of.

So, I mean, the Astros, as you said, there are only two games under 500 now, they dug such a deep hole.

They’ve finally gotten all the way back up there.

But it is funny when you see they’re still four games back of the, of the wild card, which is, you know, far than the, than, you know, behind in the wild card than the Giants are.

But no, they’re, they’re certainly, I mean, again, this looked a lot more like them.

They still have just so many innings that they need to cover on the mound and I don’t know how they’re going to do that.

They’re, they’re calling up guys.

Hey, yo, all due respect to Brian King never heard of him.

I had never heard of Brian King before he debuted, uh, this weekend and struck out Gunner Henderson in his first career plate appearance, which is a good sign.

Um, but this, so this pitching staff is obviously still fairly decimated, but, um, the lineup can, can drive him.

I know Tucker is hurt now, but very impressive showing for Houston.
