    7-1 Twins. Here is hoping their pitching can hold up (unfortunately it rarely does).

    This Duffey guy looked impressive against us last year, i think he is good enough to get this win.

    Can we get a racial profile on their pitching?

    Rangers down 11-1 now, starting to become unhinged now. Should have lost yesterday too. They've got a subpar rotation and bullpen; this was bound to happen. Now for the Astros to capitalize today

    Join the Astros discussion workout team. Rather than replying, go exercise. At the end of the game, we may post some fun facts.

    Eh, he does have a point here. It would be great to have a European star in MLB, baseball is slowly growing there and that could do nothing but help.

    Also his mom grew up in Texas and joined the Houston Ballet at age 17. His parents met while both were dancing in the Berlin ballet, he's credited a lot of their influence for his balance and footwork. Definitely not your typical prospect bio. I like his dad too:

    Kepler's father has grown to love baseball -- "It's the chess of sports" -- but says that he usually tells people in Germany that Max just "plays sport." If he mentions baseball specifically, he then has to tell them what the game is. "It's an abstract sport that would take a long time to explain," Rozycki said.

    Yeah, I don't get that choice when you lack pitching depth, and it wasn't his fault they weren't out of the inning. They should have been out of the inning like 3 times.

    Not complaining though

    Sale doesn't need those kind of defensive plays to shut us down.:(

    Way to go Altuve!

    Will Root finally remove that runner from first that doesn't exist?

    Tuve for Mvp. Power, high ba, and almost impossible to strike out. Dude is like a 5 ft 5 Barry Bonds.
