    id rather be firing on all cylinders in Sept/Oct than May . The Rangers will go into a funk and the Astros will get hot at some point. It’s the name of the game

    purely speculating but all the stuff about Maldy not wanting Vasquez to play last year or getting all upset when the Astros were looking into free agents during the off season, plus whatever the hell is going on with Diaz

    This is what happens when your offense cant take advantage of a mediocre pitcher, H. Brown is doing his job, cant say the same for the offense

    If the Astros are going to carry three catchers then Díaz should be DH every game he’s not catching. Only times he shouldn’t is if one of the big names are getting a day off from the field to DH. Even then, those days could coincide with Díaz catching.
    I know better with Dusty but it’s starting to piss me off. Julks is a nice story but not a major league bat. He should be the very last guy on the bench if he’s not in AAA.

    offense is practically bottom 5 of the league.

    pitchers need to be nolan ryan and expect to throw a perfect game for almost everything outings.

    This. Also he hid multiple injuries so Vasquez wouldn't take any of his starts last season. He's very defensive about his starts and this being his team.

    Well I told my buddy the other day that we would lose a game to Oakland. He thought I was joking.
