Miley vs Detwiler

This is for the season series, kids. 

O/U 4 HRs allowed by Ross today?

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? 

This is when having Yermin Mercedes up would be great

Castillo o-fer and then DFA, please.

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 

Eloy is terrible on D

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

More from the stros than us tbh

Wow bunt scores 2 runs hahaha love Engels speed

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

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

lol can someone explain my phone update saying 2 runs just scored on a sac bunt?

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
