    Moral police please do something about all of the domestic abuse. Boycott, fight, stand up! They should be banned for life. Why do the Yankees like to beat more women than most teams?

    Aroldis Chapman New York Yankees
    José Reyes Colorado Rockies
    Héctor Olivera Atlanta Braves
    Jeurys Familia New York Mets
    Derek Norris Free agent
    Steven Wright Boston Red Sox
    José Torres San Diego Padres
    Roberto Osuna Houston Astros
    Addison Russell Chicago Cubs
    Odúbel Herrera Philadelphia Phillies
    Julio Urías Los Angeles Dodgers

    This would require actual commitment! Not knee jerk reactions. To show your level of wokeness! Selective moral outrage is papa bear!

    I think we learned from Ray Rice... it only catches the attention of the public and the media if there's film released, sadly enough. I worked with victims of domestic violence when I was younger, and I lost a cousin to domestic violence several years back.

    Well, this is just not true. Anyone paying attention to the Astros should know it.

    The Astros were getting plenty of negative media coverage for acquiring Osuna even before the cheating story broke.

    Yankees lost both games of their double header. Chapman gives up a walk off 2 run HR on a slider...you love to see it.

    With double header today, Astros likely don't have option to use Javier in relief tomorrow or to skip Bielak.

    Are we going to ruin every sports thread with political ****? The D@D is there for a reason.

    I hate double headers. I shouldn't but I just do, nothing will ever change that. I mean you have 2 games in one day, you'd think that would be great.
    There was a time when triple headers were played, that's 3 games by 2 teams in the same day! Give me some Triple headers.

    Even I wasn't alive back in 1920 when the last (of 3) triple header was played. Pretty sure @Deckard wasn't either, but i could be wrong. :)

    Dusty Baker said Brad Peacock's velocity is down. Chris Devenski is probably closer to re-joining the club than Peacock.

    Dusty Baker said the Astros are tentatively targeting their series in Anaheim next weekend for Jose Urquidy's return.

    Dusty Baker had no update on Justin Verlander, other than to reiterate he threw 20 pitches. He said he hasn't spoken to Verlander in the last 10 days, but planned to call him this morning.

    Aledmys Diaz is back with the Astros. Taylor Jones was optioned back to the alternate training site, but Dusty Baker said that Jones will stay with the Astros today as the 29th man for the doubleheader.

    Kyle Tucker keeps it going! Soon to be a perennial All-Star!

    Also, off a RHP. Despite being a LHH he's done better vs lefties thus far.

    With Tucker and Alvarez, we are in good shape for the future.
