    Hey, the more they keep screwing up like this the more management is forced to add another big player via trade soon.

    With the exception of Professional Hitter Brantley and Air Yordan, this team looks like it's still in the All Star break. The lack of focus defensively and on the base paths is frustrating. Astros have been beating themselves tonight.

    Straw has been a complete moron on the basepaths. Speed isn’t everything. His face also reminds me of Giles when he’d walk the bases loaded. So all in all I’m very annoyed with him at the moment.

    Straw should have to walk back to Houston.

    I keep wondering how we have no home grown pitching talent. Other than Mcullers, I am struggling to come up with a single pitcher with any sustained MLB success in the Luhnow era.

    Why can’t James throw like this every time? His stuff is there.

    I missed the top of the 10th. We must’ve gone down in 3 pitches

    It's time to make a statement.

    DFA White and Stassi, option Straw.

    Bring up Tucker, Stubbs and give Mayfield another shot, that way he can play SS and Yuli stays on 1B.

    I know this means no 1B backup until Diaz is back, but at this point White is addition by subtraction.
