  1. Pinch hitting Dubon is certainly a choice. Yainer is 3 for 7 against Severino with 2 homers. Why is Salazar on the roster?
  2. Dana needs to work on his communication to the press. No reason to make it Alvarez’s issue similar to talking about Tucker’s bruise from last year.
  3. Can they give Jake a helmet that fits?
  4. That’s a HR in 23 parks. Daikon giveth and taketh.
  5. I don’t know - It feels like the 1989 Astros to me.
  6. Why is Blubaugh not up?
  7. Holy fucking shit! I actually like Allred but he’s a terrible statewide candidate. He has proven completely incapable of motivating the Democratic base to vote and doesn’t generate any excitement. Losers supporting losers.
  8. I would have loved to see the election results after the Dems passed a bunch of cool and necessary shit which is broadly popular with the electorate. That would be a cool experiment.
  9. Does Cintron or Snitker ever tell Yainer to not swing at fastballs at eye level and breaking stuff that lands in front of the plate? He’s never going to become a good player if he doesn’t ever make a pitcher throw him a strike.
  10. Holy fuck - this bitch is stupid and evil. It’s a dangerous combination.
  11. Glad to see Yordan still has both hands. With the Astros medical staff, I was worried.
  12. He’s probably a Quad A guy. I can’t believe they think Rodgers who is brand new in Houston and a late addition to boot just can’t be replaced in a clubhouse with Altuve, Pena, Yordan, Framber, etc. Also, Dubon is already filling the role of Good Clubhouse guy who sucks at hitting major league pitching.
  13. Would Shay Whitcomb be worse than Rodgers at this point?
  14. I think this is the slogan for the season so far.
  15. Assuming Whitley comes up tomorrow and Sousa goes down.
  16. It’s fun having a first baseman who can field the position.
  17. I was encouraged by Altuve taking a walk in the 6th last night but then discouraged when he was chasing pitches out of the zone in the 8th. I know his reputation is to chase outside the zone; however, he’s at his best when his chase rate is closer to 30% and not 40%. If he would chase less, pitchers would have to throw in the zone and I think he can still be productive.
  18. I have no idea but there is always a group of players that could be greats if they could avoid the injured list. I don’t think it relates to growing up in Cuba. I would guess Yordan puts the work in to stay healthy. i was listening to a podcast this week discussing Corey Seager and his inability to stay in the lineup. He and Yordan just may be naturally more injury prone.
  19. We need Yordan back in this lineup doing typical Yordan things.
  20. Hunter has become a god damn ACE!
