    no way he makes the postseason 26/28 man roster but with a ten run lead save the guys who will.

    I think the Kyle Tucker the Astros drafted is coming into shape. That walkoff HR had to be a huge confidence boost. Tonight was his best game as an Astro.

    Is there an unwritten rule that Baker can't put his best 4 bats together in a lineup unless Brantley plays?

    Kind of. He wants to split up his left hand batters.

    Alex Bregman is going on the injured list with his right hamstring strain, Dusty Baker said. He is going back to Houston to get an MRI.

    Cionel Perez is being activated off the Astros' taxi squad to replace Bregman on the active roster.

    Yuli Gurriel will be off tomorrow, Dusty Baker said.

    Tucker in his short career is hitting LHPs 0.300+ with an 0.882 OPS. If some team wants to throw a loogy at Tucker, Astros should encourage it.

    Tucker really trying to break Evan Gattis's record for most triples in Astros history (AL era), and in only a fraction of the games.

    Tucker finally looking like the reason he was untouchable in trades, special kid.

    But does he run like the T-1000 like Gattis did?

    I'm warming up to Taylor Jones. Showed great pitch recognition, and didn't begin to swing on some of the pitches way outside the zone. Also, as a late bloomer who was never on any prospect radars, I know he's a very hard worker.

    Again, MM doesnt get cheated when he gets bat on ball. Even when he hits into outs he seems to really pound the ball.
