Epic win.

On this date :
2016 Jose Altuve homered and had five RBIs, and the Houston Astros beat the Baltimore Orioles 15-8 despite allowing four home runs in the first inning. The Orioles became the first team in the modern era (since 1900) to open a game with four home runs before making an out. Adam Jones hit Collin McHugh's first pitch into the seats in left field and Hyun Soo Kim singled before Manny Machado, Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo homered in succession.
This is the guy that @Astros Joe Espada sometimes puts in the cleanup spot. On that move alone, he no longer needs to be our manager. pic.twitter.com/FKeVBvsMox

I keep reading stuff about some Pecko kid starting a game soon. The articles mostly say the kid did great at AA ball, but has scuffled at AAA. Is that the best we got? Kind of a sad statement. If he bombs, Dana should be released immediately. Bring back Luhnoe.

Then they awarded Trout 1B on the same thing. Umps were all over the place.

So wtf happened tonight. Tied a couple ships up and saw the score notification and just laughed. We're they using position players as pitchers at the end?

That lineup last night was total garbage.
Lamont Wade, Jr batting leadoff and playing first base.
