    Astros go 4-0 or 3-1 to maintain top record in AL.

    I'll be at the Hunter Brown start on Saturday! It will be my first game this season. I'm super excited about it.

    Hunter needs to un-slump. He's been struggling for over a month (ERA 6.50 in July).

    Win the series !!

    Yainer had a big game yesterday and is 4-10 with 2 bombs against Severino. It's cool seeing Big Jon getting a start but idk if I would have benched Yainer today.

    If they can sweep the Diamondbacks, they can sweep the A's.

    Which just means we'll go 1-3. :eek:

    Diaz gets 3 hits and then sits the next day.

    But that does give Caratini a chance to bat lefty and allows big jon to get a start.

    But who's counting?

    No, that's a serious question, anybody keeping up with these nuggets in Espada World?

    It's great we are winning like we are, but not sure it's because Joe is making a ton of smart choices. It's the proverbial winning in spite of scenario.

    Now we're going to a 6 man rotation after the McCullers injury.

    Take away bad luck on batted balls and he’s been a league average bat for the season. He’s gonna make or break whether his 2025 salary was worth it based on how he performs in the playoffs. A timely HR in a playoff game is worth $10M imho. And he’s shown enough life to hold out hope that he won’t be so bad next season.
