It might be getting to the point in the season the Stros are going to have to pull a Houdini Act like the 2019 Nats.

Win the game today to take the series and yesterday's embarrassment doesn't matter.

Trying to bounce back from a terrible day offensively? Let's get Cabbage out there and still refuse to play Meyers.

If the offense comes down to the difference between Cabbage and Meyers, we've done pretty bad again anyways. The point is Meyers potential. He's a potential 4 win everyday CF who they are treating like a bench scrub despite giving him a public vote of confidence before the season AND him actually performing well before they benched him for no good reason because they were desperate to get Dubon in the lineup but didn't have the guts to bench Abreu at the time to do it. |

Eh, I think you're severely overvaluing Meyers. He's a Jake Marisnick style 4th OFer. If our corner OFers were worse defensively he'd have more value to us. |

I don’t usually bang the drum to get Meyers out there, but I’m actually wondering what gives with his playing time. They passed on guys like Soler and Bellinger because “they believe in him”. Well, play him then. |

I wonder how Abreu’s vision quest is going. |

Three 97mph+ balls and only one infield hit to show for it. Disappointing.

Take him out. He hung himself with poor command.

Why is Hunter Brown still on this team? Bring up France or someone (anyone) else.

Offense is broken. Has Espada tried a hard reboot?

If that's true, they never should have anointed him the everyday guy before the season, and used that Hader money to get a real OF. But either way, I just disagree. Meyers has not had nearly the leash Marisnick had to prove himself. I think you've written him off prematurely. And again, he was finally performing and they benched him. And there isn't even a legitimately superior option on hand. It's ridiculous. |

This team has much more issues than Meyers. Anyway, time for some good news. The Angels are losing again!

It would be funny if MMP Security told them they had to put the trident away since they don't allow weapons in the park.
Fans aren't allowed a pocket knife but they can carry a giant bronze trident? Seems hypocritical.

He's a plus defender in CF, the best on the team in fact, and has a 118 wRC+. Dubon is at 104. I mean come on. Why are you defending them on this? He's not performing at an All-Star level so let's bench him for people performing WORSE? Make this make sense to me. |

Hearing them gush about Altuve's sprint speed is hilariously cringe after watching him lose multiple hits this week lollygagging to 1B.
