    Might get his career-high GP too, while being his oldest age, while playing a physically demanding position.

    I was pushing for Montgomery and was devastated when he got traded to the Rangers. He's been nails with them. Think he's pitched 2-3 shut-outs already.

    seems like he lost that little thing he changed in his last start

    Nice job JV. Five shutout innings. Up to the bullpen.

    The great ones just find a way.

    Verlander had abysmal command today, but still battled through 5 scoreless.

    Need more runs if Montero is coming in next inning. Yes I know he has been better after the all star break, but still don't completely trust him.

    I mean did the Astros even have the pieces to trade for both Montgomery and Verlander? Or are you saying instead of?

    Needed more innings with the bullpen in its current state, but very good game for JV.

    Pressly and Gravemen need to be unavailable

    Prepare for a Montero and Martinez sighting

    More insurance wouldn't hurt at all

    Martinez was optioned back to Sugar Land.
    Likely, Montero for the 6th, Neris 7th, Abreu 8th, Pressly 9th.

    Yordan seems to be having trouble launching the ball. Everything is on the ground. Still hit hard but not in the air.
