    So I'm guessing Kratz has been the problem all this time? Undefeated without him on the roster. I'm pretty superstitious when it comes to baseball, so Gomez has to stay on the DL for the rest of the season. Just sayin'.

    Astros haven't swept a 3-game road series since Apr 27-29 @SD

    Last road sweep was a 2-game Jun 17 @COL

    If Kemp continues playing well, another mysterious injury will occur.

    Chris Carter with 7 K and 1 HR is last 2 games. He's back!

    I'll take 81 HRs over the course of a year. With all those Ks, he never hits into any DPs. :)

    Our Ks and HRs approach also helps limit the baserunners needed to hit into a triple play...

    I would have much preferred:

    White 1B
    Marwin 3B
    Rasmus DH

    instead of:

    Marwin 1B
    Valbuena 3B
    White DH

    Astros have asked Sale if he would be all-time pitcher for this game, pitching for both sides.

    Sale agreed. And then the Astros declined re-thinking the strategy.

    Didn't get anyone on base there but I like making him throw 17 pitches.

    Not an easy guy to catch, but Gattis looks pretty comfortable. Doesn't move his body or glove too much.

    Oh hell Springer!!!!
