How long do you want to ignore this user?

Hell yeah. With Duffy, Meyer, and Ruiz as 3rd basemen in the system, and guys like Johnson and Wallace, we suddenly don't like so dry there.
I like that Mills really shook up the lineup today. The offense needs a spark in the worst way.
Through 4 innings, it has not worked too well. 12 up and 12 down. Maybe there's a guy or two in minors who knows how to hit a baseball.
4 runs in one inning.
I like what I have seen from Keuchel so far
I'm loving how good he is at hitting his spots.
If Keuchel keeps this up, what does the front office do when Norris comes back?
IMO, Harrell has pitched pretty well outside of 3-4 outings and should stay with the big club. also, Lyles and Keuchel should stay up. We know what they can do at AAA, time to see what they do in the majors over an extended period.
Happ should be the choice to go down or move to the pen. But I wonder if management will keep Happ in the rotation and attempts to increase his potential trade value, not that I think that would yield much.

I agree with everything you said. Also, I can see Keuchel staying up here in Houston if/when we move Wandy

Any reason to not let Keuchel come back in the 9th? Only 93 pitches thrown and no tough innings. Mills ought to let him finish it.
Keuchel's line. 9 IP, 6 H, 1 BB, 1 ER. He might not come out the rotation so soon.
Great atmosphere at the juice box tonight
So happy to see one of our young guys impress. Can't take him out of the rotation now.
Altuve
I ****ing hate brad mills. Let a *********reliever throw more than one ****ing pitch. He over thinks everything. Jesus.
The offense today has been almost a repeat of yesterday. First 10 or 12 go down in order, then all of a sudden the bats explode.

No doubt. He is definitely producing! He's 23 in high A so I would keep that in mind.
And its lancaster
Does anybody know how serious Altuve's injury is? I doubt they have a definitive timetable right now, but I was just wondering if I need to sit him on my fantasy team for awhile.
Also, if Altuve will be sent to the DL, I would like to see us call up Paredes again. He is hitting .320 in OKC this year and is certainly deserving of another opportunity

I believe he is DTD with a mild hammy strain
'Preciate it Bond
No prob
The astros are on quite a homerun tear in their last 2+ games. 4 on saturday, 2 yesterday, and 2 in the first inning tonight.
finally grabbed the lead again, 6-5
bixler has played very well a the lead off man tonight

Bixler probably should have been with the big club all year, but I understand he is not a prospect or a young guy we are trying to develop. But he has probably the most versatility on the team and would be a great utility player for any club.
Why the hell does Mills continue to send Rodriguez out there in close ball games. The guy is garbage.
Why Fernando Rodriguez, Brad Mills? Why is he still coming out in close games?
the stros are showing great fight tonight, hopefully someone can come up big in the bottom of the 9th

Brad Mills must go after this year...If not sooner than that. I understand he doesn't have too much to work with but he's making assinine decisions.
His constant flip flopping of the lineup is getting old also.
And his unwavering loyalty to Boguesevic is extremely annoying.
Here is my proposal for the new staff:
HC: Ausmus
Hitting Coach: Bagwell
Pitching Coach: The Rocket
Bench Coach: Biggio
1st Base: Rehire Jose Cruz
3rd Base: Junction Jack (Hey...he's a step up from whats on 3rd now)
Edit: I'm changing my nomination for 3rd base coach to Orbit or Batty Bob...Junction Jack sucks too

A couple of years ago when Bagwell coached for half a season, the bats made a lot of progress. Wish he would come back. I could actually see Ausmus coaching some day.
Looks like we may be headed for another extra inning loss. Damn you Lyon.
Another loss on mills
