    Honestly (unpopular take)… I think Altuve/Bregman/Yordan/Tucker may need a day off here/there.

    Bregman has played in every game but one. Altuve/Yordan have been played every game since they came back from the oblique (with the latter being more inconsistent), and the former only getting a day off when he hits a ball of his shin. Tucker’s defensive inconsistencies can be tied to fatigue.

    Baker inconsistently plays guys who may need more playing time… and overplays the guys who are the studs.

    But they’re going to have to play everyday and somehow find a way to carry the team.

    What is it that Maldy brings to the team ? Can't hit, can't run, and please don't tell me about throwing runners out...I've been watching

    Mushinski is the ultimate white flag. On to other things for me.

    unforgivable to not pinch hit there when you needed a run.

    I love my Astros, but they are 100% mental head cases at home. The Nationals broke them.

    On the verge of being swept by the worst team in the league. Pretty pathetic and that’s with the top two pitchers starting the series. Somewhere along the way they got bored playing at home or something and it just doesn’t click consistently anymore

    **** you dusty. A coach would have his team coming out and whooping everyone’s ass on the opposing team after an embarrassing loss last night. But no let’s play cool and his dumbass gets beat tonight again by the worst team in MLB. I can wait for this idiot to get fired.

    And this is why the A’s and getting the royals being called the “easy part” of our schedule was dumb

    Why the hell was Mushitski pitching in a 3 run game in the 8th inning?

    In a game down by only 3 baker doesn't pinch hit for maldys with a runner in scoring position, brings in mushinksi, and follows him up with Kuhnel.
    I hate his ****ing guts
