    Singleton? I don’t think Bagwell makes either one of those. Maybe the 1st one.

    I want Caratini's bat in the lineup 5 days a week at a minimum. I would be great with Singleton playing against RHP, with Caratini catching and Diaz splitting time between C/1B, with Yordan playing LF.

    Against LHP,

    Alvarez DH
    Caratini C
    Diaz 1B
    Dubon LF

    He's due for a skipped turn in the rotation.

    If the Astros lose, at least Abreu and Hader will get rest.

    Martinez and Dubin might be set for multi-innings if Blanco has a short outing.

    What is with all these pitchers going out and putting us down multple runs in the first few pitches? Never get a strike first, much less record an out. Arighetti than Kikuchi, then Scott, now Blanco. Just go out totally unprepared and throw meatballs.

    Ok just shake it off like last night.

    Keep them at 3. Get us 6 innings.

    We will take it from there.

    Blanco usually settles down. I think we're still in it if he can get it together.

    These guys don't have enough talent to be that arrogant.
