This week saw the end of the first full month of the 2019 season, which seems like a good place to take stock of where things stand with the Astros. And for added reference, I thought it might be interesting to compare things to where they stood a year ago, at the end of April 2018; I believe just about anyone would consider last year a success, between the 109 wins and the ALCS appearance, and with most of the key players returning, it makes it an even better point of comparison. So let’s see what all has changed from one May 1 to the next.
