    Because at that point somebody needed to hit Framber upside the head to knock him back to normal.

    At this point why not give it a whirl?

    I know most were caught up in the moment but I think this will be a huge regret when JV is retired and Tuck is on another team

    What happened to Valdez. It's like they told him he couldn't pitch in the all star game, which was one of his goals, and then came back edgy af. And not in a good way.
    Adios.

    Y'all did appreciate the humor in pinch hitting Maldonado for Singleton in the 9th down 8 runs?

    I mean if nothing else, Dusty does possess a sense of humor.

    There's a good chance you can add him to the list of Astros prospects who were regrettably traded; and there's a good chance you'll never care

    Hader

    vs

    The 20 other ones in the past ~7 years

    Along with Hader (when it happened), Clifford is the one I hated to give up

    What a bummer. BUT, baseball is a game of runs, ups and downs, sudden changes, slumps and streaks. There is no game really like it. Just when you feel you are riding high, you crash. Just when you think there is no hope, your favorite player breaks out of slump. I have no idea how this season will end. Two days ago, I had a "good feeling," but today I have a "bad feeling." I guess "feelings" don't mean much.

    I'm in the 5th inning. The 2,000th hit was nice but it's been a rocky start so far.
