    I would think that White is the next man up. But Yuli's back soon, so the question is moot.

    eta: yeah the souvenirs are great, but I wish yall would talk about the actual ****ing game that is happening right in front of you.

    Astros 6-9 today is pretty weak. Gonna have to grind this one out.

    In case you missed it, @conquistador#11, this is how it started:



    I love the looks on those kids' faces. "He said it was a kid, not a man."

    I'm guessing Bryce Harper is next?

    I'd honestly forgotten about him. Good on him, love to see the former Stros kick ass.

    Runner was safe anyway, run would have scored regardless.

    ETA: did you see how far off the bag Marwin was when he made that turn? He was in shallow LF.

    I hope so. He's been a mixed bag so far at the plate but he's getting plenty of opportunities early on.

    Run would not have scored? He scored from 2nd on a fielder's choice / error.

    JD has played himself out of a spot on a championship roster

    I was pulling for him, but it all looks a little too big for him right now. We need Yuli back.

    Unlike the other pitchers in the starting rotation, Keuchel has to nibble and if he's not getting strike calls, he can really struggle.

    4 walks, 4 hits in 4 innings. Dallas just hasn't looked comfortable these first 2 starts.

    You're right. I thought he was on 3rd and the double play would have ended the inning.

    Davis has made several good plays at 1B, that one was a sh!tjob, but thankfully Yuli will be back soon.

    I believe he is back the 13th. Do we want JD till then? Bring in Reed or White instead?

    Just need the Orioles batters to put on Yankee pinstripes, and Dallas should be fine.

    No reason to jack around with minor leaguers for a week. Davis down, The Yuli returns.

    I could also be completely wrong and they bring up Reed/White manana.

    It's just a week from this Friday.

    Normally, we won't see many lineups this season featuring Davis, Marisnick, Stassi, Fisher, and no Correa. No need to make any moves for what amounts to 6 games. It's not like our pitching situation necessitates us scoring 8 runs a game either.

    It also helps that we're coming into today 5-1. The victories in April count the same as the ones in September...
