    If Yordan could play today would have been nice to see him in the lineup with what Espada is sending out there today. Keeps the pressure on the pitching AND the defense.

    Really wish Whitcomb would continue getting a chance to play…he’s actually looked like he belongs unlike a bunch of others playing right now. I guess first base isn’t an option for him.

    Agreed. I feel like we gave Baltimore the turn around mojo they were looking for. I think tonight we get blown out.

    I don’t think we get blown out but scoring runs will be an issue.
    Tomorrow we get wheeler

    I’m not too worried about him.
    Hopefully we score some runs

    It's definitely an AIDS lineup. All the prayer in the world won't fix that AIDS lineup.

    Still can’t get the bad taste of my mouth after those last two games. Not sure I can take another stressful game today.

    Eventually the Astros need to **** or get off the pot. Seattle ain't losing all 32 of their games remaining. I'm still not convinced the Mariners are going on this crazy tear like some think here. However, gotta start winning series again consistently on our part. These lineups aren't helping. Yordan and Tucker being zeros in the showing up department hurts too. Especially Tucker's p***y ass.

    Whitcomb actually looks like he belongs. I would have liked to have seen him in the lineup too. Hell there are worse players in the lineup tonight.

    All I really care about tomorrow is Blanco getting skipped.

    Astros should do a bullpen game or schedule JV for 60 pitches since he'll be 4 days rest after just returning from injury. If he's feeling good and pitching well, maybe push it to 75.

    The division lead will be 3.5 at worst -- Astros can afford a loss by losing the battle (one L vs PHI) but winning the war (Blanco gets rest).

    Wheeler vs fatigued-Blanco is a wasted effort and sets Ronel back even further. Blanco will well-rested for the matchup vs the Royals -- an AL team that's ahead in the WC and chase for the better record.

    Yordan need a new neck? Make it make sense.

    Where’s Tucker?

    Wow. He’s got a neck in that photo. Relay it to Espada.

    For anyone interested, ESPN 2 is airing a Statcast Edition during the game.
