    Baker makes his lineup by throwing darts, unless they've been acquired in a trade, in which case they don't play.

    Hitting against Verlander must be miserable, like hitting against Zoolander. And I am not sure what that means.

    I'd just bunt the whole time and hope for the best.

    He’s damn near as dominant as 2019 Cole

    I would not want to pitch to Judge or Alvarez. I know Judge strikes out a lot, but if either he or Alvarez connects, duck or watch the ball leave the stadium.

    Yuli is toast. I've officially seen enough.

    Please play Mancini at first the rest of the season.

    The Astros have lost 4 or 5 games this year when scoring 4 runs.

    Another wasted base runner. The meat of their order coming up.

    I'll play.

    Mancini has 2 RBIs in 5 ABs.

    Extrapolated over an entire season of 600 ABs, he would have 240 RBIs.

    Why? Depth is a huge part of having a good team. Resting people, having strong PH options, etc. It's fascinating that people want to make judgments on trades and how players will be used after 3 days.

    But they haven't lost any if leading 4-0 at any point in the game.

    Brought that up earlier

    He has been awful at the plate, but a stud defender and would allow us to send Jake down to hopefully get right

    Also, love Gattis

    Had a good feeling about Chas tonight and he is doing everything out there tonight.

    Just start him already.

    He already has a cool nickname.

    Correct, but what we are saying is bench the correct players.

    Yuli with a sub 700 OPS needs to be the backup to Mancini at 1B.

    As much as we love Maldy, he should only catch Verlander and maybe another random start every once in a while, but the .280 hitting Vasquez should be the starter.
