Again you are correct and that is exactly what my post stated except for my mistake on Peña which you corrected, so I would say my post was not an opionion

Then you are simply stating the obvious about every team, not just Houston.

I could care less about other MLB teams. My post was simply stating a problem that the Astros are having and need to address in the offseason.

Just like every team in MLB. All teams would love to have their bottom three hitters in lineup to hit better.

Duh

Arrighetti has really developed into a fine starting pitcher.

[rupert3]

McCormick demoted to Tripple A to make room for Jason Heyward from Dodgers.

[AggiesAreWe]

Stros beat KC 6-3.

Up 4 on Mariners.

[baddog]

Hindsight is 20-20, but Bregman’s ejection almost cost us the game. We have no other 3rd baseman. My 3rd baseman behind Bregman would be Dubón, and he’s certainly no Bregman. I’m happy for the win, but we need our best players on the field.

[rupert3]

What almost cost us the game was Abreu pitching.  He is good but I don;t believe you can pitch every day and be efficient.

The new guy Heyward did get 2 RBIs.  I hated to see McCornick go though.

Well of course Abreu allowed the runs that were charged to Brown, but had Whitcomb made the play at 3rd, the inning would have been over.

I agree with baddog...if Bregman is not at 3rd base, I'd go with Dubon.  I was at the game last night and Jason Heyward is a big dude.  He's tall and has muscle on his frame.  He smoked the double down the first base line and knocked in Pena and Singleton.  I hope Heyward finds his mojo and helps us down the stretch...like he did last night.  Good game by the good guys.

I would have answered your question about a 6 man rotation but I couldn’t come up with anything good like effect on roster moves, does a 5 man rotation make that much difference in rest? Stuff I’m kinda vague on.

[baddog]

Well, they must have read my post. Dubón is playing 3rd tonight and just made a great play right after Peña made a highlight play at SS.

[rupert3]

Framber 1 hit shutout going thru 7  Abreu did ok.  Hader gives up 2 run dinger  2-2 then Altuve walkoff 1 run dbl.  Crazy ending 3-2

Combined 2 hitter

Way to go guys

[baddog]

I’m at the game down 3rd baseline, between 3rd and Crawford boxes, 2nd level. I believe Kikuchi is pitching. 
Go Astros

[baddog]

Kikuchi mowing them down. 9Ks, 2 hits

Ragans for KC pitching a 1 hitter with 9Ks 

[baddog]

Bases loaded single by Diaz scores Gamel and Altuve. Double steal by Alvarez and Diaz. 2 run triple by Peña. 4-0 Astros. No outs

[baddog]

Peña takes home on a passed ball. 5-0 Stros. 

[baddog]

5-2 final. 
 

[rupert3]

Nice 5-2 win great pitching by Kikuchi with 12 Ks very few mistakes

[rupert3]

Mariners lose and Rangers win.  Now 5 up again

[rupert3]

Probably the best SWEEP this year.  Alvarrez 5 dingers in 3 games, 2 today.  Every one contributed.

NICE

[BEARCPA]

I thought the Astros were folding fast?

[rupert3]

Temporary crease

Abreu is good but he tends to scare me.
