Barmes needed to make that play. When your not hitting for crap, you better make EVERY reasonable play and most difficult plays. Lyles has been fantastic tonight, just so encouraging to see Norris and Lyles do what they've done. Rodriguez pitched well last night as well, just need Happ to get on track.
Twins are a machine right now...they just dropped an 8 spot on the world champs in the 1st inning. They would like pretty scarey with Wandy in their rotation and Kepp playing second.
You always knew we would find a way to lose this game. Lyles was very impressive once again which is a positive.
I'm just an occasional Astros watcher but that Lyles kid seems great. Not that we ever would but I wonder what he would bring back in terms of trade value.
Why would the Astros trade the youngest player in baseball who makes practically no money and is one of the few bright spots for the future of the franchise?
You don't. That would be incredibly stupid...even more than what the love child of Ed Wade and Tim Purpura would be capable of doing.
Tough loss last night...did all the things to get in a position to win...As I was watching, I was like, the Astros will find a way to lose...and sure enough, I was right... Hoping to go to the game tonight...$1 hotdog night...last night was $1 draft beer...
