Man, even if we contend by 2021, does anyone really think we can compete with the Astros? Their young nucleus and great farm system is going to keep them competitive for at least 6-8 more years

Compete with the Astros, or the A’s, or Rays.

I know sometimes it seems very easy to predict exactly what will happen in three years but I guess I need to remind you that three years ago the Royals and Broncos were reigning Champions, Obama was in the White house and Hillary was a lock to replace him in just a few months.

Wow. Unreal.

In the 3rd inning, Gerrit Cole didn't record a strikeout.

Why is that significant?

Cole had recorded at least 1 strikeout in 73 consecutive innings (reg. and postseason) dating back to Aug. 1.

It was the longest such streak in the Expansion Era (since 1961)....by 33 innings.

Altuve 29
Bregman 25
Correa 25
Springer 30
Alvarez 22
McCullers 26
Devenski 28
Osuna 24

Add in their future prospects Tucker (22) and Whitley (22), who were both regarded near top 10 in baseball. Even in 2 years we won't be close to them unfortunately

Clearly their future looks bright but so did the Dodgers until about 22 hours ago and now they are sitting home and the WC Nats are moving on. In fact the Astros season could still end tonight after all.
