WASHINGTON _ From the time they gathered for spring training in early February in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Astros were all-in on the most direct and easy-to-grasp of slogans.
It was "Take it Back," which referenced the club's collective disappointment about a five-game loss to the Red Sox in the 2018 ALCS after winning the franchise's first title in 2017.
The Astros haven't officially taken anything yet in 2019, but they're taking as much momentum as one can imagine back with them to Houston.
