McCullers vs. Heany
With as good as we've played on the road, this looks like a win. This team is remarkably up and down though so who knows!
Hopefully a road trip reawakens Altuve and we have a fun offensive explosion late tonight after the Rockets beat GS.

I hope the Astros force the issue on offense. I also hope McCullers puts some sedatives in those nervous shoulders. |

There's no such thing as pre-gaming too early.

I don't care for them either, but it's not nearly as bad as I first thought it would be when we moved to the AL.

It seems like we fail to show up mentally when a win is expected. |

That is all. (MASH reference in case you're a millennial.)

Some of the Astros worse games ever were against pitchers making their ML debut. |

Astros:
1. George Springer (R) CF
2. Alex Bregman (R) 3B
3. Jose Altuve (R) 2B
4. Carlos Correa (R) SS
5. Yuli Gurriel (R) 1B
6. Evan Gattis (R) DH
7. Josh Reddick (L) RF
8. Max Stassi (R) C
9. Derek Fisher (L) LF
Angels:
1. Zack Cozart (R) 3B
2. Mike Trout (R) CF
3. Justin Upton (R) LF
4. Albert Pujols (R) DH
5. Andrelton Simmons (R) SS
6. Luis Valbuena (L) 1B
7. Ian Kinsler (R) 2B

Good to see Fisher being given a start vs a lefty. The boy is 4-9 with a triple and a home run vs lefties this year.

The biggest surprise is Stassi getting the start. But I like it. |

Right here OlPapa. Just cooking breakfast. Kenyan Middleton will have to go back on the DL, which further complicates the Angels' bullpen problems. I do hope he can sort it out quickly; injuries are no fun. |

I've got to run out to the airport this morning so I will miss the first half of the game. If the Astros aren't ahead by at least 5 runs, I am holding you all responsible.

Fisher has the potential to be a 40 HR/year player if he just starts hitting more fly balls. Combining his stats from last year and this year, 32% of all his fly balls leave the park (including 4 of his 9 fly balls this year). He hits the ball so hard, if it isn't on the ground and it stays fair, he has a very good chance of an immediate RBI.

I've moved on from hating the Cubs. It is so much more fun screwing with people that make the mistake of wearing a Rangers hat around me.
