    I wouldn't bat him 2nd, but maybe this will get him going. Lower part of the order is where I would bat him.

    44 degrees and sunny in Chicago. Winds are from the north. Look for a low scoring game.

    I like the lineup changes but until our pitching improves it’s a bandaid. At least it gives us hope lol

    After Espada's comments about The Astros just needing to play better baseball and getting over the hump I believe again. I am fully expecting a W tonight. It was foolish to doubt....

    So, Singleton is bad, but Jabreu is 15 times worse?

    All we need is a team meeting and we should be World Series bound in no time.

    all these young pitchers always do well as a rookie.

    after that, they just fall off once the league have replays of their pitches.

    Can’t hit
    Can’t pitch
    Can’t defend
    Can’t run the bases without TOOTBLAN
    Don’t know how many outs there are
