5/24 @ Houston

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Whata bout Vazquez bat?

 

Yup, I do agree with that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

...and some guys in the BP.

 

 

I did say everyday players(non-pitchers).

[vegasbob]

Nunez's stealth play: swing at a pitch so bad that it injures Chirinos , trying to get into the Astros bench.

[vegasbob]

Ok for all the carping on the 4 sub .200's, it was JDM who DP'ed and now Pearce and Nunez have back to back hits, station to station running. Takes 4 hits to get a run, and a walk to Leon, bringing up the lead run at bat, Jackie Bradley, JR

[FredLynn]

I would PH for Bradley here....he will surely GIDP here-if he makes contact

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walking Leon should generate an automatic fine for Miley.

[FredLynn]

Bradley is horrible. Why is he still in the lineup?

[mvp 78]

Not heating up

[jung]

Well at least JBJ didn't roll over into a DP which was the predictable result.

Never fear contact by Jackie

[d-money]

Someone should asked Cora why this team looks uninspired in these big games. They look pathetic.

[Station 13]

f*** this roster babying. Get another OF on the team. JBJ is a bench player.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As gifted as JBJ is as a defensive outfielder, he is equally ungifted as a hitter.

He battles demons with hitting.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

There's got to be a better alternative than Jackie Bradley. A guy who plays very good defense and is a solid hitter.

[oldtimer]

At least Chavis made hard contact.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

f*** this roster babying. Get another OF on the team. JBJ is a bench player.

 

He's a late innning defensive replacement. No ifs ands or buts about it.

[FredLynn]

He's a late innning defensive replacement. No ifs ands or buts about it.

 

Bradley is demoted to AAA. Martinez in LF; Benni in CF; and Betts in RF.

 

Bradley CANNOT be allowed to play every day any more.

[d-money]

Would anyone be shocked if the stros get a shutout here?

[d-money]

1 buck and 68 cents batting average through 143 at bats? That’s absolutely pathetic and hurting this team. That’s unthinkable.

[FredLynn]

Gotta say....this is a pathetic bush league effort. This team is now on a pace to win just 87 games and this game is an example of why.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another Hans Solo.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How good are the Astros? Does anyone even realize that their best hitter isn't even playing?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

f*** this roster babying. Get another OF on the team. JBJ is a bench player.

 

Cora should run a day care. Oh, wait, maybe he is.

They’re good no doubt but our boys look pathetic

I don’t know if they get to 87. They can forget about the division sooner or later. Too inconsistent to compete for the division title this year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX over-achieved last year. The Astros just continue to achieve.

I still say this goes back to the spring training and the attitude this team had coming into the year. Cora played it safe. This is 2014 all over again coming off a championship. Just lazy and uninspired. Maybe they win more than 71 games

[d-money]

I haven’t seen that magic where this team just explodes offensively.

The stros came to play after a championship and this team looks punch drunk. It’s 2014 all over again but with more wins maybe.
