They don't seem real comfortable together, that's for sure. I suppose that's to be somewhat expected.

No good can come from resting Correa!
-
Kratz is a bad big league hitter.
-
Nice, way to make them pay for their mistake
-
Altuve with a 2-out, 2-run single! 5-0
-
B4:
Valbuena pops out F4 on the first pitch
Marwin singles to RF
Kratz flies out F8
Marisnick with an infield single, Cabrera tries to throw back behind Marwin, throw goes into LF, Marwin to 3B, Marisnick to 2B on TE3
Altuve singles to LF, Marwin scores, Marisnick scores, Altuve to 2B on the lollipop throw home
Altuve to 3B on a wild pitch
Springer...full count...takes a center cut meatball fastball for strike three
But the Astros plate two more...lead 5-0
-
Fiers is a long reliever. 5-3 now.

Who would you rather have in the pen, Devenski or Fiers? Or perhaps Fields is your odd man out?

Fields is not reliable.
-
Colby got jacked good by Kinsler on that pop up by White.

I know it's a small sample size but I think I might give devenski a chance to start
-
Valbuena is killing me. They have to do something about getting some production at 3B.
-
1 for 10 w/RISP...in five innings.

not surprisingly in the bottom 5 of MLB in RISP batting.
-
Fuck Fiers. Makes Martinez look absolutely silly on curveballs all day, then when he gets 1-2, grooves a cookie fastball for a HR.
-
I don't like J.D. Martinez anymore.
-
Fiers out with 2 out in the 6th clinging to a 5-4 lead. Sipp in.
-

Bregman needs to be getting reps at 3b at Corpus ASAP.
-
Another starter pissing away a lead.

They have to do something. You can't have an everyday third baseman who is that putrid at the plate. At any level.
-
Sipp gets a strikeout to end the 6th and take Fiers off the hook.
-

That or call up Moran and give him a shot.

What's wrong with Duffy?

I'm sure Moran would get the first shot. He is doing well at AAA.
-

Yea, him too.
-
Too bad you can't DH for the catcher.
-
What's wrong with Duffy?
That's an option
-
This team is a strikeout factory.
-
I think Bregman is not even being considered for 3rd. SS, 2nd, or maybe OF because of who the Astros have at SS and 2nd.
-
Too bad Correa didn't grow up intent on being an all time great 3rd sacker...
-
Sipp walks the leadoff hitter in the 7th, and that's all for him. Neshek in.
-
What happened a couple innings ago with an incorrect infield-fly-rule call? I turned on the radio when they were discussing it, but I couldn't figure out the details. Did the ump really call it with only a runner on first?
-
This is an encouraging showing from Neshek over the last two games.

No. Rasmus was on first, and Tyler White popped one up on the infield. Kinsler let it drop and forced Rasmus at 2B. Ump was thinking of invoking the ol' "intentional drop" rule, but didn't. Rasmus was out.
-
Giles in for the 8th...nursing a 1-run lead...

That makes more sense. Ford/Sparks were definitely saying he incorrectly called infield-fly, but I thought that surely didn't happen.
Edit: Deadspin has the play and the radio audio I was talking about. They were completely confused. http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/ian-kinsler-creates-one-of-the-strangest-most-brillia-1771498190

Hinch came out to discuss, wanting the intentional drop rule called. Umpires discussed, and correctly said no, as Kinsler let the ball drop to the ground untouched.

2-out error on Valbuena brings the go-ahead run to the plate.
-
Single and Tigers have runners on the corner with 2 out...
-
The Astros are losing ninjas this year- they have a 100 ways to blow a game.
-
Vallbuena!! That hurts.
-
Giles gets a big ground ball to end the inning.
-
Giles didn't look bad. That slider has some bite.
-
A run or two here would be helpful
-
I know the game is not over, but Ashby hasn't made me cringe once today.
-
I guess not. Headed to the 9th...Astros up 5-4
-
I think he's better with Blum.
-
Gregerson in to face the 8, 9 and 1 hitters...
-
Two quick outs...
-
Astros win!!
-
Nice job by the pen...Sipp, Neshek, Giles and Gregerson...put a lid on it.
-

Fiers doesn't have what it takes, in my opinion, to get through a lineup a second or third time.
-

Fiers gets a lot of flack. I don't know, but to me he's the fifth starter behind LMJ and Feldman. If a fifth starter goes 5 2/3 with 4 runs against a lineup like Detroit and the team wins I'll take it.

I agree - definitely doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who can see the same hitters multiple times and keep them from getting a hit.

I'll take the W, especially against a lengthy lineup like Detroit's. I'm just thinking about competing for a pennant.
