What is this five runs bullshit?

This does not gruntle me with regards to run differential.

Still room for improvement. This team is only 11-15 when it’s not on 10 or 8 game winning streaks!

Man, you know the offense is clicking when they put up a five spot in a Verlander start instead of just one or a goose egg.

Well deserved off day off but pure hell on the fan base

I guess I agree, at least while he’s hot. Brantley could get the majority of DH starts with the rest taken up by semi days off for whoever. Would be a stellar defensive outfield as well.

Marisnick has been "hot" for a quarter of a season. That's not being "hot," that's consistency.

Guys can hit over their head for an entire season.  See Marwin in 2017.

Don’t get me wrong, I love what Jake has done so far this year but let’s slow our roll. He’s had 67 ABs. His current OPS is 300 points above his career average. At the end of the season he will be closer to his career numbers than his current numbers and that will be a good season for him. He’s a great guy to have on the bench with occasional starts. But he’s not an everyday starter.

Whatever plan makes White sit on the bench I'm down with

Thats cool and all...when he starts sucking bench him. Right now he doesn't suck.

Take advantage of it while you can

off days are brutal 

They really are.  At least there's a Horns game to bide the time tonight.

One is unlike the other.

Keep forgetting Astros have got Joe Smith coming back around the break. That will be a shot in the arm (no pun intended).

And a shot in the head to White’s career as an Astro (assuming no other injuries)

Opposing pitchers at the A+ level should be sending the Astros thank you letters.

Three promotions in less than a year. Our biggest problem maybe where can we play him and Alvarez?  Neither are great in the field at 1B or LF. But that's a good problem to have.

Yuli will most likely be gone in 2021. Hopefully one of them becomes serviceable at 1B

This would be ideal. Put one at 1B and the other at DH. 

This seems pretty good (Astros are tied with Ms for HRs)8814198c3cf40705cfa67d6528687b0c.jpg

We're having a lot of these good kinds of problems.

Would be nice if one of Beer or Alvarez could become serviceable in LF. Springer, Reddick and Brantley are all FAs after next year.

Reddick and Brantley have been awesome for us, but they're not irreplaceable. As for George, you get the big checkbook out and start writing 0's until he says "yes."

They're replaceable, just saying it isn't evident as of now who those replacements may be. Tucker figures to take one of those spots. It would be nice if either Yordan or Beer could competently play the OF. 

And agree on Springer - extending him would be great, but it hasn't happened yet. 

Beer will be packaged to get MadBum I think/hope.

You mean they won't want AJ Reed????

One guy named Beer. The other (presumably) drinks beer all the time and can't hit. I can see how that could be confusing.

Yordan hit another hr

Would really be nice if MLB would go ahead and rule universal DH to increase the market for Beer.

Is he making strides in the field or still widely considered DH-only?

And it’s just annoying now that Alvarez is wasting away in AAA.
I can’t believe he is still raising his average
.410.
1.400 OPS
53 RBIs
17 HRs

They’ve played 39 games.
So basically, every night he’s going to collect two hits, at least one of which is a double, and drive in at least one run. And every other night the other of his 2 hits is going to be a HR and he’s going to drive in 2 runs.
