Again, what Dana tells the media isn't really what's going on behind the scenes. He's not going to show his hand. Let it play out.

Yainier has trouble with lefties so he doesn't play against a righty. Maldy has trouble with lefties AND righties so he plays everyday. Do I got that right?EastCoastAgNc said:Mr.Bond said:EastCoastAgNc said:When asked about Diaz not playing, Dusty said: "I already had it planned. Meyers had a big day, too.

In my life I can't think of a Houston coach I despise more than dusty baker........ even bill Obrien
Get ready, you're about to dislike him moreAsked if the Astros have considered going back to carrying three catchers to give him some flexibility to play Yainer Diaz and Martín Maldonado together, Dusty Baker said "Yainer has trouble with lefties. Everybody trying to help me manage, I don't really need it, thank you."

No wonder they gave up so much for Scherzer and want more starters...
I will say the asking price for SP across the league is very high. They're trying to add rotation depth but they very well could determine the best course of action is to add bullpen arms.
If you had to guess, do you think they make any more moves in the end of stand pat?texasaggie2015 said:

Dana Brown said on @SportsTalk790 that if Urquidy comes out of today’s rehab start for Double-A Corpus Christi today, there’s a chance he could make his following start for the Astros in a possible 6-man rotation.

The MLB app doesn't list our starting pitcher after Bielak today. I've seen "TBD" 2 or 3 games out, occasionally, but not the next game.

He's an absolute clueless joke. No doubt in my mind we are four games up right now with any other Manager
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

I wish someone could post this right outside of Dustys office
and another walk
Two straight. I'm glad we gave the best guy back there to help him.
No swings on the first ten pitches.
"We can win a big series today"
*Bielak refuses to throw strikes*
*Bielak refuses to throw strikes*
Throw an damn strike my god
We need a starting pitcher bielak should never pitch for this team again.
um, would Bielak be part of this 6-man rotation?
Throw a damn strike you idiot and stop listening to Dusty!
Great job, Maldy. Can't frame. Can't get your pitcher ready. If this visit doesn't work then it's time to DFA.
need the ol' Bielak LOB magic right now
In ****ing real. Bielak absolutely sucks.
Meatball. Lucky it didn't clear the bases.
Bielak… it's kids day. Think of the children!!
Not optimal
Hope the guys are ready to score today. We knew it would be the case.
Pena saves Bielak for now
Very underwhelming start...
Wow. Bad play by the rays not to send the runner. I wonder if the okay yesterday scared them off.
What does that mean "if he comes out?"
