    Feels like the Astros usually crush in Minnesota. Hopefully we get a lot of runs today.

    It gets loud in Minnesota - it won't be as loud as the Metro Dome was. That stadium was the loudest stadium in sports.

    That's right!!! You have no idea how much I want you to be right... I know I know, been there done that... I'm just not as confident in our pitching this year, if Javier was anything remotely close to last year I'd be feeling a whole lot better...

    Makes sense with Javier vs Grey.
    But… we are awesome on the road.
    Javier matches Grey for 3-4 innings and we win.
    France comes in middle and we finish them off with our bad ass bullpen.

    Gotta have Maldy. You saw how he kept Framber calm and collected in game 2.

    Meh, we keep doubting Doobie and he continues to have big at bats. I'm aright giving him a start.

    No problem with Dubon, and Chas was 0-3 with 3 Ks last time against Grey. But Diaz should catch and Brantley could play left or DH.

    But apparently even catching 5 no-hit innings and other good starts by Javier isn’t enough to convince Dusty that Diaz can catch him.

    Altuve. It's the same jersey in my avatar pic. I'm wearing that Jersey today even though there is a non-zero chance someone pours a beer on my head.
