90-61, 8 games up.
Garcia (11-7, 3.37) is pitching against some Junk (0-1, 2.25). LOL, seriously the pitchers name is junk.
Go Stros!

Any news on Brantley? I think he is eligible to come off the IL today.

So who gets a day off today? I will guess Correa with Marwin filling in at SS.
Does Maldonado get the day off today or does Dusty wait until Saturday so he can start Castro against a lefty?
If Brantley is not back today, I think we see Alvarez in LF again with Tucker DHing, Chas in CF and Siri in RF.

Today is Carla's birthday, so he might get the day off.

I doubt if they rush Brantley back, and, this weekend in Oakland makes sense as a time to return. For some reason, I expect Castro to get the start tonight even though a right-hander is pitching. LOL I had rather him sit Siri and play Meyers and Chas both in the OF.

While Brantley is out, I reckon Dusty will start Yordan in LF a lot before the playoffs. Unlikely to see Yordan in the outfield during the playoffs until the WS in a NL park. So getting him some work now makes sense. But Yordan started the past two games so I think he's the DH tonight. Then back to LF tomorrow. Just guessing ...

No day off for Correa. Yordan, Chas, and Meyers in the OF. Castro catching and hitting 7th. Tucker still at DH.

I like this lineup. Gives some decent hitters a chance in front of some of our hotter hitters.

Confirmed Lineup1 - 2B Jose Altuve R 2 - 3B Alex Bregman R 3 - LF Y. Alvarez L 4 - 1B Yuli Gurriel R 5 - DH Kyle Tucker L 6 - SS C. Correa R 7 - C Jason Castro L 8 - RF C. McCormick R 9 - CF Jake Meyers R Good lineup. I am kind of surprised Correa didn't get the night off. Maybe Dusty has finally figured out that sitting a guy who is on a hot streak with the bat isn't the right thing to do. Besides, he should be able to give all of them enough rest next week.

I’m hoping we see Meyers in the lineup every day. We need to get that bat hot again. In defense of Meyers..., I don’t know that I have ever seen so many really bad pitches called strikes on one guy game after game. That and being benched when he is hitting well probably messed with the kid’s mind.

I wouldn’t mind if they sat Siri for a few games to see if they could squeeze some of the Carlos Gomez out of him.

That and being benched when he is hitting well probably messed with the kid’s mind. You are right about Meyers having bad pitches called strikes against him. I want him in CF because I think he is the best defender at the position. Dusty doesn't seem to care who is hitting and who isn't when he decides who to bench. The way Dusty has used him as probably contributed to his bat cooling off. If given the chance on a regular basis, I think he will be better than Chas. I like both of them better than Siri.

Looks like a VHS cover on a movie you'd have to get from behind a locked door at Blockbuster in the 1980s.

Not often that you see a pitcher have an 11 pitch inning in which he throws just 3 strikes.
