This is why Altuve's not in the lineup: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Altuve says he tweaked left oblique swinging bat Tuesday.

Damn, was desperate for the full lineup given these last couple games and the fact that I'm going to be at ballpark. Even Pressley in place of Grossman is somewhat of a drop off for me. Oh well, most important thing is that Springer is back and Altuve remains healthy.
I have faith in Dallas! We are only 6 games out of the wild card! I know we have little to no shot to make it but if we can stay this close to the race the rest of the season i would call this season a huge success!
No... its all because Bo Porter has them all thinking they're "invisible". <iframe src="http://player.theplatform.com/p/zT2_HC/astros/embed/select/VQs4_lPseEQx" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" seamless="seamless" allowfullscreen>Your browser does not support iframes.</iframe>
Even had the throw gone home, the expectation should have been it would have been cutoff and he still would have been thrown out at 3rd.
