    Nope. He can catch everybody in their bullpens to keep sharp behind the plate. He's not going to hit no matter what, so there's no reason to waste game ABs on him. Diaz should be the altC full time and split time at DH

    Can't wait to see this offense healthy and rolling.

    Popups don't pay, no matter what they look like in the boxscore

    Biggio's zero GIDPs in an entire season
    Portugal's IPHR
    Stanek's ridiculously low ERA last season
    Chas's inability to pull a HR
    Eusebio's 30-game hitting streak
    Marwin's not hitting a multi-run HR until his ~20th career HR

    To name a few....

    Sure wish we would have done what I advocated for, Bregman leadoff and Pena in front of Yordan. Then he'll get shipped off to the 7 hole eventually.

    We will successfully screw up his sophomore campaign. That's too bad.

    Excellent choices.

    I thought Tough Tony's streak was 24 straight in ~40 games though?

    Right 24-game in 45 games (I googled it just now)

    The longest such streak in MLB history

    Jimmy Rollins had a somewhat similar streak that happened over the course of multiple seasons

    Astros offense is averaging 7 runs/game when Maldonaldo, Dubon, and Meyers don't bat.

    He hit the ball hard multiple times today, which is nice to see.

    The Astros are now 3-0 when Dubon doesn't play and 0-4 when he does.

    Just saying.
