One down
Two down as Bichette swings at a pitch that hits him in arm
Rule 5 minor league draft from the Cubs after the 2022 season. He didnāt play 2023, I think he was recovering from arm surgery.

I am going to put my boot right up your ass if the Astros get cold again in the near future.

No way brother. Theyāre locked in. I donāt have that much juju
Doesnāt matter how much juju you have or donāt have. Some things you donāt say and just keep to yourself.
Also, baseball is a funny game. The Astros were 33-40 before this 11-2 stretch and 7-19 at one point this season. As quickly as they got hot, it can turn the other direction just as fast.
Missed that memo at sign up. Iāve said as far back as the Mexico City series with the Rockies they would be in 1st by ASB even before joining the board. 
Rather than be superstitious just be happy theyāve gotten hot at the right time while Seattle has gotten ice cold.
Funny thing is. . .
The Astros plucked him off waivers after James Click was dismissed but before hiring Dana Brown.
Somebody earned their money.
Edit: baseball reference lists it as a waiver claim, MLB.COM has it as 2nd rd of minor league phase of rule 5 draft.

I appreciate your confidence in the team, as Iām a confident person by nature, too. Also, Iāll never count this group of core Astros out. However, being superstitious has been part every baseball dugout Iāve been in since I started playing the game as a young child, and I have my baseball superstitions.
You could have said its remarkable the Astros have a chance to be in first place by the All Star Break after how poorly the season started, and nobody here would have jumped down your throat.
I donāt see any claim Iām an expert. Hope that clears it up for you.
Fair enough. I am confident in the team as anyone. I guess my superstitions only run on a game to game basis. Either way. Letās go Astros.

Right?
Thereās about 3 or 4 bullpen guys that I couldnāt pick out of a lineup, and theyāre all good
Welp, thereās your problemāyouāre looking in the lineup for a bullpen guy.
Espadaās done some odd things, but I havenāt seen him try that one yet.
