    Fiers Meltdown. Gomez craps the bed every time up. Giles the erratic. All these trades are looking like complete and utter failures

    The Astros bullpen has the highest WAR and the lowest FIP in all of baseball. A little tidbit there for the bullpen whiners.

    That was an unintentional intention walk to get to Gomer too. The guy is a ****ing joke. Can't continue to play guys like he, Marisnick, Rasmus, etc. too much. Can't win with that many bad hitters in the lineup over the long run.

    Gomez has to go. I'm pretty sure someone will pinch hit for marisnick next inning? Wait Hinch is too dumb for that.

    Should have been Bregman batting. They need to quit messing around and bring the kid up already.

    Amazing that the team has done so well with so many mediocre batters

    I only blame the bullpen for continuing to cover up the huge holes we have in this lineup.

    Anything is better than someone who is in a ompette funk tonight.

    I would have given Reed or Worth a shot there.

    That's exactly right. Such BS that the kid is still in AAA.

    Ha. Yep. They're acting like they have this great lineup and Bregman is just a luxury. He should be here right now. He might struggle but rolling out a couple of sub 220 hitters every night is a problem.

    I find it hilarious that Gattis has sand weights on his calves to counterweight his top/upper body while squating. Anybody else notice them?

    Hindsight is 20/20. I would've gone with Gomez there over the available options. He did he a monster grand slam just the other day. Even a blind squirrel...

    Trust your farm system. Well except for Singleton, Kemp, Moran, White, etc.

    Kemp should still be up here. He would be doing better than most of the outfielders on the roster in the lineup right now I believe.
