    i don't think it matters, unless they would pitch him tomorrow (i know that's not going to happen).

    as is, he's scheduled to face the angels and the rangers. that's their ideal scenario anyway, so there is no benefit to trying to re-shuffling the lineup.

    We need Castro out. I don't care who calls the games or whatever, there is a reason our staff is so much better with him behind the plate.

    Yes. Great teams don't get to be this bad on the road and get away with it.

    They're not a "great" team... they're heavily flawed.... and they got a ways to improve to get to their ultimate level. Just got to bank on the stock-piled talent they have being flipped or developed into contributors.

    They folded up like a cheap tent. Mentally weak teams that cant win on the road dont deserve to be in the playoffs, bottom line.

    Typical HOU swagg

    Never trust a man named Dallas to come through.

    We just need to get more consistent hitters. Can't be a top team if 7 of the 9 batters in the lineup bat below 0.250 for the season.

    Of all our homer run, I would be willing to bet more than half of them are solo homers. Gotta have more men on the base so that when you hit a homer, it actually can change the game!

    Hinch needs to go and the general arrogance of the front office needs to stop. They are a sub .500% team for going on 3-4 months.

    Team is just bending over right now and letting the Rangers take it. The team deserves all the criticism at this point. They're just soft like the manager.

    I doubt that would even cause a flinch.

    Up and in to somebody, however, is perfectly within reason. They're just too damn comfortable at the plate.

    Nope that excuse doesn't fly. Astros team era is lower with Conger.

    You pull him to send a message to him and his "just happy to be here" teammates.

    If the Astros lose the division to a mediocre Rangers team without their best pitcher all season, the manager needs to be fired and the front office needs to look in the mirror. Maybe give all the players a bag of gummy bears as they clean their lockers out
