    I am stuck following on Yahoo. I can't see anything, just watching the score board. This is a very slow moving game.

    Dusty bats Maldy 9th every game for a reason. Notice he has Vasquez hitting 5th. He would never bat Maldy 5th. Even Dusty knows he’s a better hitter.

    I would start Vasquez 3 out of 5 games as catcher.

    So Dusty really wants to start Garcia and send Javier to the bullpen?

    Not sure which is worse, Meyer’s arm or bat.

    Garcia just does not inspire confidence.

    They haven't been winning much either, down to 2 games above .500 and 3.5 back of their own division coming into september.

    This lineup has so much more length when Mancini and Vasquez start, at least at home. There’s just no way Maldy’s play behind the plate is so superior to Vasquez that it out plays his performance in the batters box.

    If Maldy starts more games than Vasquez in the postseason we need to riot. So far not one person has been able to quantify exactly why or how Maldy will help us win more games than Vasquez. I keep hearing on sports talk that “well the Astros simply won’t pull Maldy this year” and that should be rebutted immediately w “well why the f*** not?!?”

    Four innings of Astro BP. With a measly 2 run lead.
