That's rather pitiful. Sure would be nice to have Abreu slotted there. Castro needs to pick it up in the 3 hole as well. He's striking out way too much.

Astros 2 - 0 with 4 complete.

TV crew speculating that Castro may have a nagging hand injury. Close-up shot of his bat handle showed tape wrapped around making a sort of cushion where his index finger rests.

Whatever the reason, it seems like he's missed a lot of hittable pitches this year.

Dominguez single and Springer double set up Carter with 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. Can he put the ball in play to score a run??

Shit. Put it in play... but a weak pop-up just on the OF grass. Up to Krauss. Fuck.

In any case, Astros lead 2-0 in the 6th.
