    Reattaining JV isn't looking so hot either.

    Last season was a wasted opportunity due to managerial malpractice.

    Why did Espada put Brown back out there in the 6th? He was close to 100 pitches.

    Been saying this since the all star break.

    I was hoping he would improve.

    He was at 89.

    Bullpen was thin after yesterday's 12 innings.

    Stros win that game and today wouldn't be so bad.

    Now, I just hope Altuve is healthy for the postseason... assuming we make it of course.

    The bye became history after the suckage in Cincinnati.

    The game yesterday and the last game against the Reds were inexcusable losses.

    So back to what happened to Spencer and Hunter early. Could have pulled them with a good start and instead it blows up in our face.

    The best hitter on the team hits second. Period.

    That's the best balance of PAs and PAs w/ runners on base.

    3rd usually will have 20-30 fewer PAs over 162g than hitting 3rd will.

    Yordan or Tucker, if he's right, must hit #2, though I don't mind Bregman there if he's on a hot streak.
