We have a pen. It's game 160. Use it. That includes Brown who just earned a tandem start for 2 plus innings if needed.
I don't see where it says he wants Maldy to catch
Put yordan in field and DH Diaz (or Brantley)

We need all 3 in the lineup.
It's the season that keeps on giving... us the shaft.
The Astros have placed RHP Ryne Stanek on the paternity list. RHP Seth Martinez from Triple-A Sugar Land.

I'd hope they can do better than a guy who just got canned.
Go Rangers

Yo wtf? This is very poor planning (assuming full term).

Have you seen those Giants rosters? He was a guy who did more with less.
Hinch was one of those guys who got canned.
Obviously not good news but bright side he's not hurt.
J.P. France has been scratched from his start today due to a family emergency, the Astros announced.

Cristian Javier just walked out to throw a bullpen session at Chase Field. That would leave him in line to start on Sunday.

I assume this means Brown will be available out of the bullpen this series.

Brantley
Chas
Pena
Maldy

Bregs
Yordan (DH)
Tucker
Abreu
Brantley
Chas
Pena
Maldy
That old man just refuses to play his best lineup.
Still about as good as it can be without Diaz - Brantley, Chas
Final push from Phoenix.

Maldy in again. Diaz gets more splinters in his ass.
My dream lineup was so close
If Maldy hits a HR tonight I'll be less upset.
So close to the perfect lineup. Just need to swap Bregman and Maldy's spots.
If Urquidy goes 5 strong today I can see him leapfrogging France for the 4th starter spot for potential playoff start. Which basically means we won't see Diaz in the lineup again this year
Wrong. Abreu is in the wrong spot we just are used to seeing him in the wrong spot. There are at least two major issues with this lineup being good. When 2 of 9 are bad, it is not close to perfect, its a C+.Mr President Elect said:

We have to win an ass load of games before we worry about that.
Quit messing with one of my joys in life. Trolling the board when our lineups are released and everyone is on the verge of a meltdown.Project Gemini said:Wrong.

How long has it been since Urquidy has pitched meaningful innings? Pitchers can't just sit and not pitch for what seems like months then be asked to start a game, even if it isa BP day
Wrong...Abreu should be batting 7th and Chas should be 6th so once again we'll likely see Chas lead off an inning with a homer that could have driven in multiple runs while Abreu hits into a double play or strikes out.jetch17 said:

Dana should have never called out Donkey, he was just asking for it.
At this point, playing Maldy instead of Diaz tonight is like Demeco choosing to now bench Stroud (after seeing his production, etc.) and starting Keenum because of the experience "intangibles" that Keenum brings to the table. The media would be going crazy if this happened and Texans front office would never let it happen, yet Dusty keeps getting a pass.
Gallen has given up 4+ runs in 3 of his last 5 starts but was pretty good in the other 2
Have you looked at Diaz's DH numbersjetch17 said:

He has a 2.5 ERA at home. He isn't heavy on the slider so hopefully we can see his pitches cleanly.
He succeeds mostly on the basis of his fastball (and changeup to a lesser extent), and as a result he has a higher than average exit velocity given up. Hit him hard when we get the chance and elevate.

Curve vs righties. Change up vs lefties. Mostly just fastball to both.
Edit:
Also much better at home than on the road. Better against righties but not a major split. Better first half vs second. In the middle of his worst month. Major drop off the 3rd time thru. Will get hurt if we can jump on the first pitch.

Well they hired Dusty after he had been canned from SF, Chicago, Cincy and Washington.MosesHallRAB04 said:Farmer1906 said:

If we only we had a really good hitting catcher who hits fastballs really well on our roster, then we could have a really good lineup tonight…linkdude said:
