Astros throw up a 6-spot in the 1st inning (including a Grossman 2-run shot), Keuchel gives one back allowing a solo HR. Astros up 6-1 T4.

Yep, I only realized a game was being played based on some tweets.

Castro walk and Singleton homer make it 8-1 Astros in B5.

Another half dozen insurance runs and we could be a chance here.

T8 and Keuchel and Astros still cruising along 8-1.

Keuchel on 95 pitches, I think it would take the entire bullpen using tasers to get the ball off him right now.

Breaking news out of the booth, Mariners interested in Chris Carter.

Keuchel awesome with the CG allowing just 4 hits. Astros win 8-1.

Keuchel's last two games have been stellar.

Oakland is #1 in runs scored this year.  Complete game against them is a nice achievement.

Somebody is wrong.  Evan Drellich Tweet:
Source said earlier today Mariners don’t have interest in Carter. Plus, logic: Astros need his production — they’re trying to add to lineup

I don't really know the way of social media, but someone obviously put the names together at some point.  Should the people in the booth be spreading twitter BS?

Get swept by the Fish and nearly sweep the A's. Not really sure what these guys are up to. They said maybe Springer will be back tomorrow.

Keuchel's value had to have gone up a little today. IF they are really listening. I'd just as soon keep him myself but maybe selling high is smart.

I hope they keep him. McHugh too. Cosart I think could still become a very good pitcher, but he also seems like he could become a Papelbon-type loudmouth. If they got a really promising young MLB-ready hitter back for him I wouldn't be too sad. Like how about... Cosart + Domingo Santana to the Cards for Oscar Taveras? Is that a pipe dream?

Cards picked up Masterson yesterday and have good, young pitching when healthy. I think it is a pipedream.
