    LOL, Pirates announcers pointing out Sipp's 10 HRs allowed. Also commented on Musgrove getting roughed up twice now (O's, Bucs). Really like the Pirates; announcers (watching a stream in my office). And agree... beautiful stadium.

    Astros need to trim the fat off this team.

    MCHugh,Sipp,Gattis

    Better replacements out there.

    Ashby continuing his incorrect ways saying that the Astros appealed the Bregman hit earlier in the game and the out call was upheld. The Astros chose not to appeal.

    4-3 roadtrip is a success by any measure, right??

    doesn't matter if we win tonight or tomorrow. these games are unimportant. road trip was already a success.

    Seems you didn't read my post

    What catcher would be a good replacement?

    If he is so horrible, surely you could come up with an available replacement who would be better

    i've been taught around here that 4-3 means successful road trip under any circumstance.

    so these next 2 don't matter. locked up the success last night.

    Astros by being inconsistent and digging themselves a hole have to have 5-2 type road trip for this to feel like they have made real ground. 4-3 is okay but if their goal is still to stay in race for playoffs, they have to consistently win series from here on out.

    Yep

    Too far back of Rangers and too many teams ahead of us in WC race for anything less

    It's gonna take a great and I mean great finish to make it, not extremely likely but possible
