Would be wonderful to have Astros minor league product Sandoval in this rotation right now. Who’d we trade him for you ask?

Another series loss coming on up. Someone said Chas and Uncle Mike should be back this week though so that helps.

We face Ohtani tomorrow. He's always owned us even when the lineup wasn't a collective disaster. Loss.

It's ok. If we just keep plugging him in at clean-up, it will work out for us. By every metric his power has diminished but let's just keep at it. The edges will eventually round out.

He was playing a little 1B with Sugar Land. So let's take a look at the new lineup. Oh look, Abreu 1b still 4th.

Bregman is really pissing me off

I'm glad he's walking, but for fricks sake swing the bat and hit the ball hard.

I still think Bregman will be fine, he’s had slumps like this in every season except 18 and 19 with the bouncy balls and trash cans, but man it’s been poorly timed. He needed to be another pillar with Tucker and Yordan to get us through this injury stretch and it just hasn’t happened

With Brantley and Chas back this week hopefully, I am assuming Salazar and Hensley or Julks go down. I am interested to see what our all knowing leader does lineup wise. We know he won’t hit three lefties in a row (heresy!), he will barely ever hit them back to back.

Dubon 2B
Brantley LF/DH
Yordan LF/DH
Bregman 3B
Tucker RF
Pena SS
Abreu 1B
Chas CF
Maldy C

What I would like to see assuming we aren’t benching Abreu or Maldy. Park Bregman between Yordan and Tucker and see if it can get him going.

We know Abreu won’t move down that far though, wouldn’t surprise me to see him stay where he’s at because Dusty knows best

Abreu is a nice stop gap player until Clifford is ready.

Abreu makes Brett Wallace look like Jimmie Foxx

The Astros are promoting top prospect Drew Gilbert to Double-A Corpus Christi, a source tells @TheAthletic. Gilbert slashed .361/.421/.686 with 15 extra-base hits in 21 games at High-A Asheville.
