Everyone enjoys a good comeback story. I, myself, enjoy a good comeback story. The Astros were setting up last night to be a good comeback story.
If you haven’t yet noticed, a running theme for the Astros this season is their ability to pull off the impressive comeback win. In fact, they already have 22 comeback wins before yesterday’s game. Thank you, Baseball Reference’s Play Index, for this useful bit of information.
If you aren’t using it, well, you aren’t baseballing right.
Wait, is baseballing a real word?
The question in yesterday’s game in Minute Maid Park quickly became whether this would be the 23rd comeback win of the season for the Astros.
