Ha. I spent a good minute or so wondering why Carter wasn't DHing. Nice to see Krauss and JD in there rather than Paredes.

Agreed about Paredes. Krauss is hitting like a guy who wants to stick around.

Wallace at 3rd.  Dominguez hasn't been hitting, but I assume this is to give him a rest?

Springer has seen three pitches. Has two homers. One at least 430.

The man's bat is at least as quick as advertised.

For those with TV and still tuned in, did the hbp on Molina look like it was intentional?

In no way was that intentional.  They've got some real sensitive people in that dugout.

What in the fucking time-wasting fuck. Cardinals changing pitchers in the 9th inning, up 9 to fucking 1, after Choate pitches to one fucking batter and gives up an infield single. Serious-fucking-ly?

This isn't helping your trade value Bud.

With Philly starting to get back into it and Cubs thinking about keeping Garza, all of a sudden Bud would be worth a ton. Unfortunately a start like last night doesn't help.

Apparantly it won't matter soon:


Quote
OKC shortstop Jonathan Villar could join the Astros after the July 31 trade deadline and before September call-ups begin.

“I think we’re all curious to see how he fits into next year’s team,” Luhnow said. “And there’s really only one way to find out, and that’s to bring him up and let him play.”
