    He is awesome!

    Future Stros!

    1b- Singelton
    2b- Altuve
    SS- Correa
    3b- Dominguez
    LF- Springer
    CF- Deshields Jr.
    RF- Santana
    C- Castro/Ruiz

    Just thinking out loud. I don't know who will be our future, but it is looking better each day.

    Ruiz will be at 3rd or DH, Springer will be in CF, Ovando will likely be the other OF, and Altuve will be on another team.

    Next season should be a lot more fun. I expect we will break camp with Singleton & Springer with good chance for Santana, and have a chance to to see Correa & DDJ by the end of the season. Throw in NiTro, Cosart, & Folty and...

    I think I just jizzed my pants.

    Oops, you are right about Ruiz!

    Who will be our 2b? Deshields?

    I hope you are right about Correa. I don't see why we can't move him along.

    Correa just helped pull a sweet double play off of a broken bat liner to end a tough situation in the bottom of the 6th.

    Predictably, Nolan Fontana drew a walk in his first plate appearance of the season.

    Foltynewicz escapes a 2nd & 3rd with no out situation by striking out the next 3 hitters.

    Nice outing by Stofel getting the save!

    Tell, what is your take on Lo not being on a team yet?

    He was probably injured, but I'm not overly concerned.

    Will be interesting to see where he ends up and how he does, seems like a guy who could end up a good piece to the puzzle without a lot of hype
