95-53
7.5 game lead in the division
2 games back for full homefield advantage
On pace for 104 Wins
Team OPS+: 119
Team ERA+: 120
Cole vs. Duffy
Time for a nice bounce back game. Magic number for the division is down to 8. I bet we see Tucker get a start today, and it wouldn't surprise me to see Yordan get a day off with a lefty on the mound. Let Brantley or Yuli DH.

Finally, we get to play the losers the way the NYY have been doing.

Brantley needs a day off.....not a DH day. Yuli will probably be in the lineup at first base and Yordan will probably DH. I want to see Tucker get a start, too. The main thing I want to see is some hits with RiSP. |

I’m with Coach on sitting Brantley. As big as Hinch is on resting players, he and Álvarez need to sit a game or two and get ready for October.

Good lineup......glad to see Brantley with the day off. Hope Altuve pulled his head out of his ass on the flight to KC.

You always take up for Jake when it's so obvious he sucks. Altuve is one of the best players the Astros have ever had and yet you're constantly calling him names. Seems to me you're just an old racist. |

I won’t disagree with that....nor will I pull the race card. You know, there was a time when the word “racist” meant something. It is tossed around so flippantly nowadays that it has become meaningless. I used to be shocked/upset to hear the word. Not anymore. The word has lost it’s shock effect. It is meaningless. |

I rarely pull the race card. It just seems to fit where coach is involved. I know he bad-mouthed White, Giles, etc. but his constant belittling of Altuve, Correa, Correa’s fiancé is over the top. I’ve been a part of this group for many years and I have never accused anyone of being a racist (not seriously). Don’t try to pigeon hole me with those people. |

No one cares what race Altuve is. That doesn’t change the fact that he does some rather dumb things at times in games.

Altuve is one of the best players the Astros have ever had and yet you're constantly calling him names. Seems to me you're just an old racist. I have absolutely NO problems with minority players....the fact that Altuve is Latin has nothing to do with it.If he were lily white I'd still say what he does at times is dumb. Correa's issues have nothing to do with race. George Springer is about my favorite player on the team and he is minority. I love Chirinos...he's minority/.same for Yuli. So don't hand me this garbage about me only having problems with minority players.......I had big problems with White and Stassi playing and they were WHITE. I have never said Altuve is not a great player........in fact, I have always said he is but that doesn't take away the fact that he is dumb and makes bad decisions; You sound like a liberal politician who has to resort to playing the race card........If you had done a little research you would know that I have plainly stated that Jake has no business being on the playoff roster. Your playing of the race card is both comical and out of line. |

Pointing out dumb decisions is not name calling. What is also annoying is you thinking any criticism of a player is name-calling. You must have led a sheltered life. |
