It seems like the whole season was uphill until recently, & remember, we’ll always have spent the first half of the 2024 campaign without seeing the Astros reach .500 (aside from being 0-0). Now with a bit of a running start, the Astros need to consider bolstering their rotation, or maybe have a guy or two come back. I know I know....if wishes and buts were candy & nuts, every day would be Entredankfest, but I digress. As always, go Astros!
