All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 6-17 Wade Miley (L) vs. Luis Castillo (R) 6:10 6-18 Justin Verlander (R) vs. Anthony DeSclafani (R) 6:10 6-19 Gerrit Cole (R) vs. Tyler Mahle (R) 11:35
Correct. Hinch said the other day on the radio that Alvarez would probably play some at 1B in this series.
If everything goes well today at Round Rock I'd assume he's activated tomorrow and back on the field Wednesday?
Stassi, too. McHugh probably for the Yankees series. Springer is supposed to run the bases again today in Cincy. If that goes well, maybe he'll be with Round Rock later this week.
Glad this series begins immediately after the slaughter. Wash out the taste quicker.... assuming we win of course.
In my entire life I can't think of anything Ive changed my opinion on more than the DH. I used to hate it with a passion.
Since we've watched our team in both leagues, only Astros fans opinions matter. I was always against the DH, now I'm very much against NL rules.
Interesting matchup. Their offense is not terrible at their local launching pad, but complete dogcrap on the road. Dietrich, Suarez and Winker kill the ball in that ballpark. Castillo has done shockingly well there and Mahle's not too shabby either in his 4 starts there. They have some decent bullpen arms. 9-15 in 1 run games and 2-5 in xtra innings pretty much negates the all important run differential. They're 8 games behind their expected W/L, and coincidentally 8 games behind the Brewers in the division.
