People refer them to the as "Lastros", "Disastros", "Asstros"..etc. Honestly I could agree with all of the previously stated names at the BEGINNING of the season. That however has changed. The Astros are on a streak. Sure it may be every now and then but it is extremely apparent to anyone who follows them that major changes have been made to their roster. One word can sum it up: youth. The Astros organization has taken the "out with the old and in the new" route. Clearly it is working. The pitching has been superb, the bats have been loud. Hopes of plays offs are a big no no, but a winning season isn't that far off. Some notable players are: Hunter Pence(out field), (Wandy Rodriguez), and several others. Whenever Hunter Pence steps up to bat, you can tell by his swing that no matter what the situation, he is swinging for the fences. Excuse me for saying this but previously he wasn't getting to the fences or even close. However that is not the case lately. Pence has been responsible for a few wins for the Astros. How about his 3 run homer the other night???? On to Wandy...Usually he has a curse on the road with his pitching. Not the case, he has been shutting teams out and limiting to the most minimal of hits. I am extremely proud of the team as a whole. Here's to a winning season! Good luck boys!!
