[Official] Astros @ Mariners

this sucks. Diaz is a fine backup, but how the hell is he hitting No2. Freaking move Tucker up. Or Yuli. Or Bregs.

 

Diaz hits lefties well. And he hits on the road very well.

 

With all the Roster moves, this is who is active TODAY. Others are with the team but not active.

Why is Robel back up...........

 

Taylor Jones was places on protocol along with Greinke. Now if you're wondering why him and not someone else, I can't help you.

 

Jacob Wilson has a concussion. The only other infielder on the 40 man is Nova. So you get more Robel.

 

Dusty is now in a phase of keeping the Batting Order constant for the most part. He just replaces the player getting the rest with Diaz at their usual spot. He only changes to move lefties in or out of the lineup to spread the lefties evenly.

 

I bet they score 3 this inning.

 

They aren’t laying off close pitches. Lance is nowhere close on some of those balls.

 

Marwin Fukin Gonzales

DFA Robel he sucks (maybe literally and that’s why Dusty wants him back)

I don’t want to hear about 40 man ****, Robel has no value cut his ass

 

30 pitches

 

30 pitch, 1st ining

 

America's Leanest Bacon? Since when did you guys start caring about getting fat

 

You are not paying a lot of attention.

 

According to what I heard today Marwin hasn’t been in a game in 20 days so they’re giving him starts first which makes sense

 

?They might let Javier pitch someday?

 

Castro may be done for the year?

 

So the Astros either get shutout by this pitcher or have a hit parade against him...no in between
