    I haven't been able to understand why this wasn't done sooner...that final straw came Saturday when we had Scherzer beat only to have that 3-run HR in the 9th to lose it. Again, not sure it didn't happen sooner due to his poor performances.

    Because he makes $2 million dollars this year that the Astros have to pay him no matter what.

    If he didn't, he'd have been gone a long time ago.

    Was a bad signing.

    Bo should be sent packing as well, Kubiaked mid season. Unreal how much this situation resembled the Kubiak-Schaub fiasco, Porter was hellbent on making it work with Williams.

    Fowler to DL?

    This just may be a cup of coffee for Domingo.
