    Montero… always flirting with disaster. Let’s see.

    update: he done good

    Brown can now throw it down the middle and it can't be touched.

    Ok time to put up a crooked number and call it a day.

    Thank you for your service today Mr. Hunter Brown.

    Nope. Pressly 3 days in a row would not be ideal. Still a chance it doesn't end up being Montero, but the next alternative is probably asking Hader to go 2 innings, which also isn't ideal.

    I’m going to cope by telling myself Montero was soft tossing there just in case Brown couldn’t make it through the 6th and he’s not really coming in…

    Even when we get the call, bad umpiring just sucks to watch.

    CB Bucknor special right there. Like I said, at least we are getting some benefit calls

    Or maybe the Astros hitters told Espada that they're scoring next inning so all is good

    Only owe him $11.5M next year. I'm starting to think it is a mistake to sign FAs when you don't have a GM in place.

    Abreu is going to pitch an inning. So looks like Montero/Abreu/Hader today.

    Limited bullpen gotta lock it down for 3 innings.

    I’m not too confident.

    If Montero gets through this inning, I will be confident.

    Zero confidence in that happening though

    If Montero gets through this inning, this is the manager we want.
