    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Abreu return really pumped our guys up tonight

Congratulations to Jeremy Pena on his golden sombrero.

Well done.

His inability to hit a slider + Vanover’s zone having balls 5” off the plate being a strike = golden sombrero

Despite how streaky and unreliable history shows Pena to be, I'd be tempted to try him behind Tucker and slide Alvarez back a spot. Even if only for a few games. Anything to shift the dynamic of this mess behind Tucker.

We talk about what this team is as we hit the Mike market that is Memorial Day. A day that baseball people say is when you know what you have as a team.

I would like to replace Bagwell with Uncle Mike. 
Michael Brantley is the loveable uncle you can’t wait to see at family get-togethers, Bagwell is the embarrassing drunk uncle you try not to talk or think about.

Since Abreu got half our RBIs last night, we're stuck with him for a while now, aren't we?

#8178

Abreu’s lack of defense in the 1st allowed Crawford and Rodriguez on and both scored.  

I never saw a replay of Rodriguez’s opposite field hit at Abreu who was shifted over to the 2nd base area, I’m just playing the odds.

They can choke on his RBI last night.

2 hole. Think the opposing pitchers get a mental boost knowing after the first two hitters in the lineup the rest are meh.

Lol

The Astros claimed right-handed reliever Kaleb Ort off waivers from the Orioles and optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land, they announced.

Also



Joe Espada tells @SportsMT & @SportsRV on 790 they are going to drop Alex Bregman to 5th in the lineup today, taking him out of that 4-hole. #Relentless
#8183

Only 3 more drops before he's where he belongs. 2 if Abreu is playing.

I think I'd prefer a manager, at least for this Astros team, that the players all hated but understood was ruthless in search of tactical efficiency. 

Zero loyalty, zero "he did it last year, back of the baseball card" nonsense and was relying heavily on data. 

@Wulaw Horn and others (including me) have opined that a championship aspirant shouldn't be breaking in a rookie manager--maybe it's also that THIS Astros team shouldn't be breaking in THIS manager. 

@Planet HoustonDidn't you have a contact in the GM's office?  Do you hear anything that colors Espada as more of a taskmaster behind the scenes?

Who the fuck is tonights SP? Brown?

TheScore app has Brown listed as SP for tonight and tomorrow. At this point I wouldn't put that past the group of head dingleberries we have, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that is not happening.

From O’s media:

Ort had a 12.08 ERA and 2.447 WHIP in 14 relief appearances with Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles acquired him from the Phillies on Feb. 19 for cash considerations.

Dumpster diving …

We certainly had a better record with him batting 2nd. Of course, most around him were hitting well, so who knows? I'm almost willing to draw the first four out of a hat at this point. I mean, provided Bregman's not in that grouping.

I’ll probably regret this later but I would take Dusty back right now.

Do we have to play the worse defensive first baseman and DH the guy who can actually play the position?

I don’t blame Espada for putting him in the lineup but I do blame him for not DH’ing Abreu when Singleton is going to play anyway.

Fucking Morons!

I learned last year that the manager has control of the lineup card. I guess Espada is Manager in Name Only?

Astros Manager Joe Espada joined @SportMT & @SportsRV Tuesday and touched on a number of topics including:- The return of Jose Abreu, playing time at 1B- Sliding Alex Bregman out of the 4-hole- Sending Joey Loperfido back down to AAA& much more! #RelentlessCatch the entire…
