    I'd be fine getting every non MLB player off the roster first.... starting with Villar.

    I thought Valbuena had tied it up on that swing.

    That Valbuena flyout at the wall just about sums up the night.

    Another fine start wasted. Who had Fausto in the "first Astros pitcher to throw a complete game" pool?

    Obviously we are in the famine period of this offense but Correa is your everyday shortstop right now if they bring him up.

    Didn't Keuchel throw 9 innings in a 10 inning game? Well I guess technically that wouldn't count.

    They should be feverishly working on a 5-7 year extension offer with enough $$$ behind it to make it worth it for him to sign.... the patented Luhnow pre-promotion extension.

    Kinda like the deal they should have made Singleton before proving himself in the bigs?

    Yes... except this time they're not dealing with a former substance abuse user trying to get his life back together, and a player with far more talent/expectations.

    He's going to be up later this summer anyways... and if he crushes it, there will never be a chance of getting any sort of a discounted extension.

    Luhnow gambled and loss with Singleton but won with Altuve. Can't win them all.

    fantastic pitching all things considered, too aggressive on the base pads and silly errors. we easily win 2 - 1 if not for the caught stealing and error. blahhhh.

    I was at the front of the line, although had I known Obie was gonna miss this much time it would have bothered me less.

    Can't question his results so far. I still feel like it's only a matter of time before the floor falls out, but he's certainly deserving of his spot right now.

    Yes. Let's do it.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A.J. Hinch has tweaked his lineup, putting Jake Marisnick in the leadoff spot and Jose Altuve second with Valbuena going into No. 3 spot.</p>&mdash; Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) <a href="https://twitter.com/OrtizKicks/status/597152794617851905">May 9, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    Yep, like this a lot!

    Especially with Lowrie and now Springer out of the lineup, don't think people are giving enough thought to how much we miss Lowrie and now George too

    Need Jake and Jose to set the tone at the top now
