    Dezenzo? Yuck. Get that chain smoker out of the lineup.

    Bregman at third is a relief

    After the first 5, honestly, it's a crapshoot right?

    I have no idea what the proper lineup is....neither does anyone else

    The Astros are apparently convinced that McCormick is going to eventually snap out of season long slump. They keep trotting him out there with little results.

    You said the same about Loperfido or 3 other rookies, don't lie.

    So you hope he doesn’t throw it like Jake?

    Give the guy a chance to keep playing, only way to get better for a rookie. How was your patience when Bregman and Tucker first came up?

    I don’t think he started the last 2 games.

    Starter is LHP..

    It's quite possible Gamel substitutes in the later innings (assuming a RHP).

    I agree Dubon is playing too much overall though.

    Exactly, no need to yammer about the bottom half of this lineup.

    Orioles had the decided advantage with the pitching matchup last night.

    Tonight the roles are reversed. Looks like Sunday will be in our favor as well. Tomorrow is closer to a toss up.

    So let's figure out how to take 3 of 4.

    And so far Espada is going with a 6 man rotation for right now. Smart.

    Who you want pitching Sunday?

    Don't say Blanco.....

    ETA- Kikuchi should be scheduled -- but Blanco definitely needs a skippy on Monday.

    I don't have any stats to prove this, but I would definitely gamble that it is.

    This OF, or the thousands and thousands of OFs in history? Yes, it's that bad.
