They Wouldn’t Go Away: Astros Fight, Late-Inning Magic, and Miguel Ullola’s Debut, Risers and Fallers

Wally and Ryan break down how the Astros took three of four from Detroit despite being outscored in the series, leaning on late-inning rallies, situational hitting, strong bullpen work, and clutch performances from Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker. We break down the numbers behind Houston’s success, including how 12 of their 17 runs came after the sixth inning, the sharp contrast between the rotation and bullpen, and the areas that still need improvement. We also recap the dramatic series opener against Minnesota, where Houston scored three runs in the ninth and nearly erased a four-run deficit. Plus, we discuss Christian Walker’s denied ABS challenge, Cam Smith’s two-homer night, Peter Lambert’s home-run issues, and an impressive major-league debut from Miguel Ullola.

Objects Are Closer Than They Appear - Astros Win 4 Consecutive Series Doing The Right Things Well

Ryan and Wally talk about how the Blue Jays series showed us two different versions of winning baseball. Tuesday, Houston survived a blown lead, used its entire roster, tied the game through situational hitting and won it with a dramatic swing from Joey Loperfido. Wednesday, Mike Burrows controlled the game, Loperfido created pressure with his legs, Cam Smith saved the lead with his glove, Raynel Delgado executed a bunt and Jeremy Peña supplied insurance. Then tonight, Imai dominated, Trammell broke up a perfect game, Peña manufactured another critical run and the bullpen survived without its most-used arms. The Astros are 14-11 over their last 25 with an essentially even run differential. They are not steamrolling opponents. They are simply playing better baseball when the game is close — throwing strikes, taking extra bases, making productive outs, playing defense and finding contributions from unexpected places. They are three games under .500 and a game and a half from first. A month ago, they were trying to prove the season was still alive. Now they are trying to take the division.
