    he is coming off a bad one vs Texas

    Despite the Astros' struggles this season, Alex Bregman has shown noticeable improvement, coinciding with Julia Morales' stint as the play-by-play announcer. In a role swap dubbed "Trading Spaces," Morales, usually the in-game reporter, brought energetic commentary to the booth. When asked if Morales' presence helped Bregman's swing, Astros bench coach Joe Espada said, "If Julia could call all our games, Bregman might just hit a homer every at-bat!" Amidst a tough season, Bregman's resurgence offers a glimmer of hope for Astros fans.

    Doran is my gf's favorite old school player! We went to his Astros Hall of Fame game last year, as a bonus the Astros whooped the Angels 11-3, they had 13 hits that night scoring 4,3 and 4 runs in separate innings. Awesome game to go to for several reasons!

    Me too, and not b****ing, but it does show that the Astros still use old school logic and not numbers

    Diaz has always been better vs RHP even in minors, but because he is right handed and we face a lefty he is moved up. Big Jon has done much better vs LHP, but since he is left handed he is moved down

    No big deal but I sure did like when we did everything possible to get every advantage regardless of what the old school folks thought

    Also, I think when Chas is back later this week we should send Loperfido down and not Brussel Sprouts, Loper would be better off long term if he is playing every day

    I’m thinking 12-1 Astros tonight
