The Bregman thing is annoying. Did he sleep with his arm locked in some kind of device that prevented boodflow?

No, he probably has some actual injury that the Astros are hiding behind "slept wrong."

Pitching has been absolutely incredible because no way we should be winning any games with Meyers, Dubon, and Chas consistently in the lineup.

And now throw in Singleton and Whitcomb and it looks even worse.
Singleton isn't a world beater. But he does his job more consistently than most. Gets key hits and RBI's. Decent glove. I feel like given what we have available, if Yainer isn't going to play first, then Singleton needs to be there.

It's no broken rib from a "massage" but it'll do.

Meanwhile, Tucker is being fitted for a bionic leg.…

Just lie to us, Joe. We're a bunch of dumbasses.

Singleton is probably the best defensive 1B we got, he works the count in his ABs, he rarely goes in there swinging at the 1st pitch like these other guys, I agree if Yainer is not in there Singleton should be.

Singleton usually has productive at bats--takes pitches, moves the runner, stays out of GIDPs.

If you look through some of the Sabermetrics for the 2024 Astros, it supports what I've seen. Looking under the RE24 column, Yordan, Tucker, Altuve, Diaz, Bregman, Caratini, Pena and Singleton (in order from largest RE24 down) all have positive RE24, suggesting they are better than average in producing runs based on the number of outs and baserunners on. Meyers, Dubon (somewhat surprising to me), and Chas are negative in RE24.

If the Astros are going to make the playoffs and make some noise, getting Tucker back on the field and playing a decent level and getting one of Meyers or McCormick to play at an average to "only slightly below average level" is probably key.

Our lineup isnt bad tonight, plus we have Bregs to PH if needed. Lets beat these Boston Tea Partiers

if Whitcomb keeps hitting at a 300 clip that may help out somewhere else once Bregs comes back

Two doubles past Singleton to start the game. First one he should've probably had though - or at least knocked down. Second one was smoked

Looks as if Blanco does not have it tonight. Can't tell if it is bad pitch selection or poor location.

The location has been horrible so far. His 1-2 slider was center cut
