    I'm looking at this and wondering who the heck is going to make room for Peacock. Is it possible that they'd DFA Rondon? He's the weak link right now, IMO.

    It would make sense. As of today, I doubt he’d be on any playoff series roster. He’s a UFA next season.

    Yep, McHugh or Bargiani (options?) are the only other two that remotely make sense, if we believe that Devo has his mojo back somewhat.

    I think they should just wait until September when the rosters expand. They were super cautious with Correa. Don’t see how keeping Peacock down for three more weeks is going to hurt us.

    Especially if we get to retain an “asset” in Rondon or whomever they cut to make room.

    Sometimes takes longer for pitchers to get up to speed.

    Esch and Mike trying their best to make me feel bad for the Orioles. I do now. Especially with us coming in after what the Yankees have done to them. But I still hope we crush them.

    Stanton's 2nd key to the game was Calvin's key before every Rockets game: play to your abilities, not down to your opponent's.

    They're asking what player these jerseys remind us of. Well, I guess for me: Luis Gonzales. Because we have his actual jersey signed by him in our closet. My sister won it off his back from a random drawing at the Dome on the last home game of the season. This was the beginning of her extreme luck in attending Astros games, much to my ever-growing envy. Kile's no-hitter? She was there. Biggio's 3000th hit? She was there. Damn her.

    Yordan with an improbable single. How the heck did that ball drop between the RF and 2B playing in shift position.
