Miley vs Detwiler

This is for the season series, kids.

O/U 4 HRs allowed by Ross today?

[Harry Chappas 120]

So McCann caught the second game yesterday and should sit today while Wellington showed again what a disaster he is....oh and he will bat 4th again for some odd reason.

Nice win last night in Game 2.  Not so nice for the "I hope the Sox lose but the core players do well" crowd.

How is this not a fireable offense for ricky here? 

[YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! 871]

This is when having Yermin Mercedes up would be great

[flavum 416]

Castillo o-fer and then DFA, please.

[Harry Chappas 120]

Ryan Cordell is not good but he is a better DH option than Wellington Castillo......this is mindblowing.

Almost as bad as Castillo batting ahead of Eloy yesterday.

I wish Cordell would get better quickly.  He has lots of what we need with his glove, speed and power.  Just lacks that little something that the good players have.

This is the case with 98.9% of outfield prospects (supposedly possessing at least 3-5 tools)...read up on Billy Beane, for example (albeit much more highly-regarded than Cordell.)

So much of it is mental/psychological.

His swing is too long 

[fathom 3,073]

Eloy is terrible on D

[ScooterMcGee 310]

Astros a little lazy in the field today

I thought Tilson provided a bit of a spark when he was in the lineup, although Cordell is better defensively.

Eloy standing next to Altuve looks like a monster.

Beef redeeming himself

Wow bunt scores 2 runs hahaha love Engels speed

[SouthWallace 132]

Nice to see the Astros fuck around on D for a change.

[Tomtom 18]

Anyone know why Leaury Garcia has not played in this series?

[bmags 2,726]

What's also nice, Miley isnt exactly acing our guys. A lot of low and in sliders to righties (away to lefties) and he's falling behind a lot, forcing him to throw soft stuff down the middle. Our guys are hitting it
