Yolmer that was sexy.

Keuchel just keeps getting those ground ball outs. Has the Astros outfield even had a fly ball out?

You have to give Gio some credit. He really settled down after the first couple of hitter. It looked like it was going to get out of hand in a hurry, and here he is going to the 6th giving up 1 run.

On 1 hit at that.

Avi injured or benched for not hustling?

Probably hurt his leg running to first. Hope he's ok.

Gio only has 74 pitches through 6. Might fuck around and get a complete game at this rate.

Hey nice Yoan!

Pull Giolito now, IMO

Great, great outing. 6 innings 1 hit, 2 BB's and 1 ER. 

His confidence has been shot all season. Get him out of there on a high-note. His progression is more important than this game. Let the bullpen get torched in the 7th for all I care. 

7 game hit streak for Yoan

Atta boy Yoan.

Lucas has impressed And one good argue has outpitched Keuchel except for one bad pitch. With only 74 pitches he might go at least 8 innings

Pulling him with 74 pitches can't be good for his confidence either 

Hiyo... right handed hit for Moncada and 0 K's from that side so far. That's like a 4 for 4 with two bombs by "Moncada from the right side" standards.

Taking him out would be a panic move

Yep. Tightness in his right leg.

Hamstring tightness for Avi

Maybe one more, but I'd have somebody getting loose when a runner reaches and give him the hook if a second runner does so.

Avi needs a personal trainer. All these hammy problems are going to be his undoing.

Really wish they can find more time at DH for him this next week if the injury is minor

God dammit Ricky. Lets the fucking guys steal.

Adam is a good bunter but that was dumb. Take that pitch.

Yeah, probably. 

I said after that post to give him one more with a tight leash. I just don't want this to turn into that Oakland start (I think OAK?) where we sent him back out for the 8th and wound up getting blown up. Wound up having the book closed on him with 4 ER's.

Bah, play for 1 run it's ok. Get the game tied so that Gio doesn't take the loss.

A CG might end up being an 8-inning loss.

Moncada's numbers rising

 

Still wish they would drop the switch hitting experiment and let him develop as a full time lefty. You never know, he might kill lefties from the left side.

Why should we play the game to appease antiquated statistics as opposed to winning?
