I hate to see Correa in the 3 hole. He is batting .233 with a .703 OPS in the 3 hole this season. Bregman is batting .270 with a .781 OPS in the 3 hole this season.

I'd put Diaz there at the present time. I also think sitting Taylor Jones and putting Wilson in the lineup is a bad move. For some reason, Dusty thinks if they are on the roster he has to play them. He never felt that way about Stubbs. |

I thought Yuli was eligible to come off the IL today. Any word on him?

I thought Yuli was eligible to come off the IL today. Any word on him? I haven't heard a thing. I also thought he could come off the IL today. I just wonder why Jones is sitting in favor of Wilson when Jones has been producing and doing a good job at first base. |

This year's team MVP, Kyle Tucker, with the grand slam. Great AB's that inning from Correa, Yordan, and Diaz to load them up for Kyle's slam. Chas with a solid hit. Jose is having a bad night.....Two one-pitch outs and a called third strike. Brantley has not looked good, either.

Diaz is a plus defender at any position he plays.

Even when he isn’t at his best, Graveman is still nasty AF.

Nice pitching tonight. Tucker’s grand salami was all we needed.

Nice pitching tonight. Tucker’s grand salami was all we needed. I am glad it was because it was all we got. LOL Great pitching and Kyle's slam was all we needed. Still waiting for Jacob Wilson to show he is better than Robel. I'd give him a slight edge at this point. I had rather see Diaz at third and Jones at first base until Yuli returns which I hope is soon. |

He has had 7 AB's and has done nothing with them. Jones is 6-20, 2 doubles, a home run, and 5 RBI. Wilson has NOTHING. Jones has produced..Wilson has not. Wilson may yet produce, but, Jones is the better option to be in the lineup right now. |

Wilson may yet produce, but, Jones is the better option to be in the lineup right now. That's short-sighted thinking. If Wilson rides the pine he isn't likely to get any better for a time when you do need him. And they won't know whether he'll be worth keeping on the roster. He had 3 plate appearances as an Astro prior to last night's game. Dusty is absolutely right and you're dead wrong. If they're on the roster, they DO need to be used occasionally. |

That pitch to Ohtani is like an out 99 times out of 100. That is the reason I hate the shift. I hate that crap too. So many times, they’re out of position for a double play that they sorely need because of the long throws involved. It’s a gamble that can lead to long innings. |

So you've backtracked on your belief that a player can't be blamed for his performance if he's been sitting on the pine? You were sure strong in that opinion for your boyfriend Stubby. |
