    A true contender can not have Maldy, Jake/Chas, Yuli and Pena in the starting lineup.

    Yordan!

    Yuli is devastating to watch right now, though. I checked, and he's a whopping 1 for his last 20 the last five games with a single, a walk and zero runs scored. And this is the guy you're batting 2nd and playing 1st over Mancini. I love the man, but this is a sad way for his legacy as an Astro to end, and there's zero reason he should be starting most nights, much less batting second.

    I seriously don't know how much more of Yuli I can take. Pena needs to be in 2 spot with Mancini at first base, even someone with an IQ of 50 would see this.

    Say whatever you want about Bregman, but I like him hitting 4th if Altuve leads off. Although Alvarez and Tucker batting back to back works well, too.

    Pena's sac-fly was good, but he sucked today. Damn

    If the game goes extras he still has another chance but I'd rather win before then

    If only Chaz could cut his K rate in half.
