Vazquez can hit, but he’s a fucking butcher with the mitt.

1-0 Astros after one

Well, he’s already got Brantley, Reddick, and Fisher in. Probably wanted at least one lefty pinch hit option late, if needed. That’s my guess anyway.

What a crappy run. Without that first wild pitch, Pearce is forced at third on that hopper to Bregman, and the inning looks completely different.

4 of 6 is perfectly acceptable.

The 2 wins in this series came with many runs being scratched across.  Good to win when you're not mashing.

Even better to start mashing again.

Bregman

Straw not in the lineup tonight...call him up for however many games before Altuve comes back, just to have a full roster?  They don't have a backup IF on the 40.
