    They should just put a garbage can in the dugout to troll the haters and get in the opposing pitcher's head.

    Tonight's game is pretty important, NL West seems to have the most quality top to bottom if you look at the records. With that being said. I'm not seeing a lot of punch in this lineup tonight. So of course the Astros will put up 7 runs.

    You know, if you took away the player names and only showed me the rest and asked me what I thought, id have to say that that looks like a pretty sorry lineup. A team who will only contend for last place.

    Altuve looks toast. He isn't even making hard contact. I realize he is mentally F'd up with the whole scandal thing, but someone needs to slap him across the face and get him to wake up. Now is the time to embrace being the villain. Instead he's shrinking to the challenge.

    That's about as wide as the Tucker K. Rockie should be passed on that one, but overall they seem chirpy on some strikes/sometimes strikes.
