    I like that the Astros used Valdez today...especialy that Valdez is pitching great. I worry that guys like James, Valdez, Urquidy, LMJ, and Javier will have difficulty going 5-6, but taking advantage of off days to get two starters in a game is a nice move.

    Need more professional hitters like Michael Charles Brantley.

    Let me know when the Astros decide they want to really play baseball. Until then I will watch reruns of Hitler on the History Channel.

    Tandem was the plan at the onset, the need is just exacerbated with the current state of affairs.

    Framber May have shut it down mentally. I know I would have.

    Tandem by using a man out of the rotation is different than what is usually mentioned.

    Good job Valdez.

    Please bunt and get the runner home somehow. I don't have any confidence at whoever replaces Valdez.

    Right, but Click (and I think, Dusty) were talking about tandem starters early on after JV, Greinke, and McCullers. Of course Valdez would be part of that equation.

    Amazing what happens when you get a runner on 3rd with one out.
