    And now we have the worst #8 and #9 hitters in the league coming up in a big situation.

    Update: Dubon comes through at least and turns the lineup over next inning. ;)

    They’d be crazy to send him out there regardless. Its really shitty that the season has come down to JP France being the best option to be a 3rd starter.

    Dusty has seen enough ! The near double play RBI guarantees Dubon the CF spot for the rest of the season . Bc he’s “thin”

    I don't know what we'd do without you Maldi.

    Astros have a shot of having 50+ road wins and UNDER 40 home wins in a season. Geez

    Javier is pure trash... we knew it before he threw his first pitch tonight.

    They should bring up Bielak/Blanco to eat innings or bring up Arrighetti like they did with Hunter last year.

    Maldy might not hit but at least he keeps the pitchers in line and keeps the score down…
    Checks last two games..

    Or maybe not

    You know what they can try as a solution? DFA Maldy, he clearly brings absolutely nothing to the pitching or batting. Call up Arrighetti and allow Brown or France to skip some starts. Put Javier back to the pen and start Urquidy.

    Remember in the off season when people here were saying Javier was legit #2 and poised for a breakout season? And fantasizing about his future contract? He's not that kind of pitcher

    Padres just laughing at Mady on the basepaths. Pathetic

    At least that’s a suggestion… albeit none of those expected to do much either now or in the playoffs.

    Urquiddy does need to start again though.
