Okay. Seven game lead isn’t bad. A’s pass Rangers.

Oberg likely out tonight since he threw 36 pitches last night so that’s one advantage for the Astros.

On the plus side, McHugh looks nasty again as a reliever. He was a solid starter for us at first, but I think his best value is as a reliever at this point. |

I think Pressly and Osuna could both pitch, Astros' have the day off tomorrow |

If we want to keep them fresh, we really need to slow down how much we're using them. |

Counting the postseason last year, Pressly pitched in 81 games in 2018. He's on pace for 70+ in the regular season alone this year again.
Osuna is on pace for similar. I'm less concerned about Osuna because he is several years younger, but it's still super important we keep him as rested as possible. We don't have a ton of depth in our bullpen so him and Pressly are vital.

On the plus side, McHugh looks nasty again as a reliever. He was a solid starter for us at first, but I think his best value is as a reliever at this point. With more time in the bullpen, McHugh can get back to 95+ mph. Hopefully, they score enough to not need Pressly or Osuna. |

If we were going to out an inexperienced OFer at 1B, I'm sure it would be Yordan.
They said on the radio that Hinch wants as good of defense as he can on the infield because of the groundballs Miley gets to the left.

DO the local Houston papers trash White the way it is done in here. He has to know that Most Fans really dislike him this year. Or is he that blind.

Really Glad to see Yuli getting back to his old Self. Many in here were starting to get on him.

I'm sure he knows people are upset, but what do you think he should do about that? He doesn't want to suck. Then maybe he shouldn't have gained a zillion pounds and can't run or swing the bat anymore. It is no one fault but his own. Maybe he should have lost at least 20 pounds by now from the start of the season yet he still looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy |

Does Yordan have a prosthetic arm? They seem deathly afraid of giving him a fielder’s mitt.

I'm sure he knows people are upset, but what do you think he should do about that? He doesn't want to suck. It’s not up to Tyler White anymore. That ship sailed when he decided to become a morbidly obese athlete. It’s up to management who’s failing the roster right now. Unless they’re purely showcasing Tucker, why is he not up here instead of White? |

Get more runs. Three run lead isn’t enough.

Glad to see Miley has limited the scoring to the First inning. Allowing a total of three hits. Very NICE
