    I am surprised Dubon hasn't played but no problem with it.

    That's a good example. When everybody hated Dubon, he played every minute. Now that everyone loves Dubon, he's nowhere to be found.

    The reason Abreu is playing is that his upside is the highest on the team. MVP caliber upside much like Bregman and Altuve (he hasn't hit for **** since before last year's playoffs). Now Abreu batting 4th is what's crazy to me. He can get it going batting 7th or 8th with less pressure. I say this as probably the biggest supporter of the Abreu signing on the board.

    Missed assignment by Framber. He forgot how the defense was positioned and he was late

    Hindsight 20/20, but Altuve should've been stealing last inning

    Oakland stud isn't behind the plate... unless Perez is awesome too

    Astros might wanna steal 2nd when there's opportunity

    DPs kill innings

    astros will be the team with the lowest scoring against the As this season so far.
