    You could do "aggie fans shown doing the Horns-down" during the game today and then that one tonight and end up in the ER.

    In really hope it’s nothing serious with Yordan. Damn

    I thought with our ace starting and having beaten a team by 10 the night before, our chances of winning JV's game were almost automatic.

    :(

    You've followed enough baseball to know better than that

    Your right.

    But when I see a Honda and a muscle car lined up for a 1/4 mile drag race, I don't expect the muscle cars tires to blow out or the engine to seize halfway down the track.

    It happens though.

    Lance Lynn is pitching tonight right? Doesn't the Astros have great success facing him? They should score a decent amount tonight.
    *hopefully not a jinx post.

    Unless something's changed it's Kopech, who we've never faced (1 AB by Tucker)

    They moved Lynn back to Monday vs Toronto, possibly due to the reason you posted.

    Looks like you're right. I was looking at Castor's post but I googled Kopech and looks like he's healthy enough to pitch. Looking at his numbers, it'll be a tough one. Hopefully he's not a 100% and struggles.

    If they score 3 or more I’ll be shocked.

    Diaz is diving all over the place playing SS. It’s an injury waiting to happen.

    Diaz is talented enough to be an everyday player but way too brittle for it to be possible.

    Using current or past Astros, what is the likely ceiling for JJ Matijevic? I wish ATT SportsNet had a weekly show exclusively about the Astros minor league players. I never know anything about these guys unless they’re constantly hyped like Peña.

    Likely? AAAA guy or replacement-level player.

    Nobody knows though. The Cardinals made a killing a decade ago off of older minor leaguers who had 2-3 good years and then went poof, Allen Craig types (Jason Lane if you're Astro-centric).

    Time for Valdez to get a call up if/when Diaz goes to the DL.

    I knew this was going to happen. We ALWAYS get spanked after a 10+ game.
