An insightful and intelligent look at whether the Astros are the real deal so far.
"So here's the quick and dirty of it: This team has been getting the hits that count, when they count, which so long as their plate discipline remains should hold true. Our pitching has been very good with the exception of the long ball, which one has to assume that will even out of the season, leaving just solid pitching. Our gloves have been great; they've been exceptional in some areas, average in others, and just pitiful for Carlos Lee. This looks like a team that is capable of staying the course, they're confident, capable of winning games in any way (just look at the Dodgers series) and if anything, have room for some improvement still. In sum, we look like a contender, which in the end is all we could hope for and more than a lot of us expected."
