Guess I finish off this bottle of gin. Not enough to get drunk on.
Chrinos leads off the bottom of the 4th with a walk off of Sale.

Maybe it’s been addressed elsewhere.  But if Dallas K signs after the draft, do the Astros lose compensation or do they get a draft pick for next year?

Well obviously you do nothing if he is fine, but he doesn’t look fine. Hopefully he is ok, but I don’t want him playing thru stuff like Correa did last year. It usually doesn’t turn out well.

There is. Also, from what I understand, Tucker’s service time last year means that keeping him down through next week would delay his FA by a year.

Alvarez is in a mini-slump, 1 for his last 17 after tonight's game.

I’d like to know how hard he is hitting his outs. He had a line out to LF last night.

Hinch says it doesn’t look good for Springer, IL likely.

Hamstring or knee? This is such a shame. He was having an MVP season.

Tonight.  Grounded to third on by throwing error.  GIDP to third.  GIDP to short.  And K swinging.

There is. Also, from what I understand, Tucker’s service time last year means that keeping him down through next week would delay his FA by a year.

If he is hitting the ball hard, no worries. Can’t tell without watching.

White needs to go.

I’ve held out bitching about T White as long as I can.  He needs a change in scenery.

If they're sticking with 13 pitchers, and everything they've said indicates that, either he or Kemp has to go when Altuve comes back (was told the radio said they're thinking during the Cub series).  I see no reason they would keep White over Kemp.

And regarding Springer's replacement, MM is correct:  keeping Tucker down until June 1 gives the Astros this year and then 6 full years before he's a FA.

6 years?  May not matter with a new cba.. I think if they want/need him up tell be here.

Diaz' scoring slide at home was phenomenally athletic.

I don't know how WAR is calculated, but if Marisnick isn't near the top, they are doing it wrong.

He's at 1.4 so far this season which is pretty good
