    So, did Abreu hit Garcia on purpose?

    I just don't see how this can be intentional. We brought our high leverage reliever in the 8th to try to keep the score within striking distance...

    [Official] Astros @ Mariners

    For dominicanos (as well as puertoricans and cubans), "coño" is used more like a "damnit", in order to express more emphasis to whatever is being...

    Fire Baker

    Reading that article really made my blood boil for all the times Dubon was leading off (while Altuve was injured) and Chas was stuck hitting 7 or...

    [Official] Orioles @ Astros

    Horrible jump by Dubon on that blooper (not sure if he would've been able to catch it anyway). Abreu should've gone to 2nd on the liner he...

    [Official] Orioles @ Astros

    That bottom of the lineup is brutal. Compounded by Abreu batting cleanup. I really really hope our front office takes over lineups during the...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    I don't take it as a taunt at all; I also see that he has been getting better at bats since coming off the IL, and yesterday he absolutely tore...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    I know it's just conjecture, but I think the organization keeps trying with Abreu because of their big investment on him, and because of his track...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    I really do hope you are right and that he is just running into bad luck. He has had much better at bats lately, so there is some hope. One other...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    Let me elaborate so (perhaps) you can comprehend. Maldonado bad, Abreu bad. Yainer good. Maldonado has some magic that makes team think he is...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    He was getting reps there in spring training, but I have no idea what came of that. My guess is that they determined he was not ready for prime...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    Honestly, I want Yainer playing at the expense of either Maldonado or Abreu. I'm just trying to be more realistic, since it's pretty clear that...

    Yainer Diaz Rocks!

    Although it might be too late at this point, in order to get Yainer in the lineup every day, he needs to get more reps at 1st base. We know...

    [Official] Astros @ Rangers

    I would have Abreu, who currently is 132 out of 138 players in OPS, hitting 7th. But at least Dubon, ranked 122/138 in OPS, is at the right spot...
