    Why isn't Jake in center?

    You don't want to see Castro when he's angry.

    I'm all for Gilegersonski as closer. :)

    But after this I think it's time to bump Harris back down below Giles and Gregerson. I still don't know why Hoyt isn't up to bolster the late innings.

    Yeah it's sad to not see Bregman get anything going. Just not our year when it comes to our prospects contributing in a positive way in the lineup. It takes adjustment time which is hard to provide when trying to contend and having so many other holes in the lineup. I can see the Astros going after a few bats in the offseason to ease the burden on guys like Bregman and Reed next year (don't make them have to feel they need to save the lineup).

    He has a cyst on his inner ear which affects him at the plate.

    Knee-jerk thought. Since Giles has control issues, what about Devinski as the closer?

    Devo has been the most consistent pitcher on the roster this year, starter or bullpen. Has had a couple of shaky outings but for the most part he's been the most consistently good.

    Ok, so then he needs to go on IR. We're in the middle of a pennant race.

    I know they won't do it.... but there is a part of me that really wants the Astros this off season to just throw a boat load of money at Chapman and just be done with amateur night in the 9th.

    White has made some good contact today, so there's that.

    Hinch is being loyal (similar reason Harris closed) to Rasmus since he started there today.

    Now, the question is, why didn't Marisnick start in CF today in the first place? Why is Gattis not catching?

    very tough to win when only 3.5 players (Gattis sometimes) in the lineup are any threat to hit at all
