    Don't forget the umpire probably got 17 calls wrong just in that inning.

    uninterested, incapable, not worth the loss of focus.

    There are also some teams that are just built for running. Hasn't necessarily translated into wins for them. (The Astros are not built for running)

    So Brown declared Blanco likely out of the rotation once we return to 5 man.

    That bolsters the pen that much more.

    Can we do it? Can we reverse all good will from the Royals sweep? Find out at noon!

    We've lost two in a row to the Reds who aren't even above 0.500. How the **** would you characterize that?

    Salazar and Whitley sent down, Meyers and Hernandez activated.

    Knew Whitley was going down after yesterday for a fresh arm. Guessing that Dubin/King couldn't be called up because of time in the minors hadn't been reached yet.

    Maybe but Blanco has struggled in the 1st inning this year.

    I honestly think the whitley experiment is done. I hope I'm wrong but he's not gonna be a major leaguer with the Astros. Perhaps with a different team.

    Might also save Blanco a TJS and he should be pretty fresh for the playoffs.

    JV needs to start holding his own weight though. I'm fairly confident he can over a 1-2 span, but he ne should be limited to 90 PC.

    Now the Reds have gold glovers at every position.

    Astros hitting it sharply, so at least there's that.

    You're right we should totally swap Pena for De La Cruz

    Keep your head up.

    Astros will avoid the sweep.
