    Espada is NOT playing Whitcomb

    At this point I blame Dana, he should know Joe won’t play him and get someone else on the roster

    I'm fine giving Paredes a day off.

    I really, really don't understand this Cooper Hummel situation. Why didn't we just hold onto Ben Gamel, who we know is competent against RHP, instead of drunk dialing some random 30 year old 4A player just because he hits left handed.

    I'm starting to think Shay Whitcomb f**ked Dana Browns sister or something.

    Dana was the one who sent Whitcomb down and brought these bum asses up. Only reason Whitcomb is even back on the team is because Rodgers got hurt.

    There’s something clearly going on there and it starts with Dana. He must not think he can hit big league pitching or something…hoping to sell him to some team at the deadline off his AAA stats.

    The real issue here is that Hummel and Guillorme are the best they can do?

    Meyers hitting 2nd is the kiss of death for him.

    Guillorme and Hummel are 30 year olds who’ve never made it.

    Have a feeling this is going to be a real frustrating game watching our shitty ass lineup get shut down by a washed up 5 ERA guy throwing 85 mph

    This team has 2 all star position players.

    Joe Espada: " I bet they have lots to talk about on the bench"

    Pena didn't do well last time he DH'd

    Dana said in pregame the Astros need a left handed bat. Isn’t Yordan left handed. is he coming back before August?

    Gusto!!!

    Guillorme has over 400 games and +3.0 WAR in his career.

    I'm not saying he's an all star, but comparing him to Hummel is insulting.

    Yordan is left handed but he died a couple of months ago.

    Looking at stats I see you point but Luis isn’t good. Fair okay.

    Cam hasn't been as productive since he's been moved up in the lineup.
