    Bregman has to be more serious than the club is letting on. Can't trust the Astros when it comes to injuries unfortunately.

    Japan is crying

    The little line-up of the poor needs to show up.

    Whitcomb had or has a .921 fielding pct at 3rd in the minors in 93 games. Thats horrible.

    Why no Dubon Joe?

    Kikuchi did a great job k'ing Casas twice.

    No Bregman already cost us on defense... at the plate, incoming.

    last time astros faced houck, they only scored 1 run.

    with this being MMP, astros probably score 0 against him.

    Whitcomb looks way too stiff for 3rd base. We didn't get a good look at him there in his first start because he had 0 groundballs go to him.

    So, I read Bregman was going to miss the White Sox series. Kind of like Verlander was going to miss a start with a stiff neck and Tucker might miss two games with a bruised shin.

    Double play if Bregman was in there.
    We've been spoiled by having him over there for so long.

    Holding them just to two runs was a win in itself.
    That could have been a lot worse.

    Japan ain't crying.
    Still 1st inning.

    knowing Alex Cora, they will try to go that way every chance they get to test him.

    A .921 fielding pct should tell Joe not to put him there.

    Actually, no

    Maybe no worse, but he isn’t definite better than anyone, including you and me

    it was already 2 outs. all whitcomb needs to do was to field the ball and throw to 2nd or 1st.

    Altuve needs to play less but there are too many injuries. His play (hitting) is suffering
