Alex Bregman was available to hit today, Joe Espada said. Espada said Bregman is in a better position to play on Friday against the Angels than Kyle Tucker.

Then why didn't he?
Has the fart post been made yet?

Bregman hitting for Abreu and Dubon sliding over to first would have made too much sense. Or even leaving Dubon at third then doing a defensive sub for Bregman.EastCoastAgNc said:Alex Bregman was available to hit today, Joe Espada said.

Jordan Montgomery was booed off the field after today's start, per @BNightengale

He gave up seven hits and six earned runs over two innings 😬 pic.twitter.com/zOI15aeUYn
Offense didn't do us any favors today, but that missed strike three call is still bugging the hell out of me....
Avoiding the Montgomery and Snell traps look wise so far.

Maybe the manager should, you know, from time to time, get up off his ass to make his displeasure with the inadequate visual acuity of the home plate umpire known and fight for better future outcomes for his players.
We are getting jobbed by the umps worse than any other team in the league, and Espada seems content to take it up the rear.
Can't believe Espada didn't pinch hit Bergman for Abreu. Oh wait a minute I can believe it. Geez Joe are you afraid you'll hurt Jose's feelings?

I'm fairly convinced Dubon could play elite D at every position up to and including pitcher at this point.
I'm fairly convinced Dubon should be in the lineup EVERY DAY! He can play anywhere and do a fine job doing it! Plus his bat is better than half of the other starters.
NVM I'm a gullible idiot

Not Astros related, but Mike Fiers never gave back/refused his ring
of course. Figures. I always fall for that **** lollinkdude said:

Seager left the rangers game grabbing his hamstring running to first
He is best when put in the lineup in advantageous positions. He's not an everyday player. But I agree he should play more often than he is at more positions.
Skenes improves to 3-0, beating dodgers. Could be 5-0, pirates had the lead when h3 left the 2 non decisions

Wish we still had him
Dylan Cease hasn’t been terrible, but with how bad the hitting has been overall so far I really thought Cease would have a sub 3 era. Giving up 3 runs to the Angels is pretty bad though. https://t.co/OHSICg2Ihu pic.twitter.com/TXeU0yLwu9

I know he's not a favorable stat guy, and since Dusty loved him, he must be eviscerated, but def my kind of ball player
Eric Lauer pitched 5 innings of 1 run ball in a ballpark where balls go 500 feet.

Good sign for the guy who is likely next up if the Astros need a starter.
I wonder (hope) they are playing him more at 1B to prepare him for the move up once this Abreu thing is over
Julks

Good for him. He was buried in the depth chart with more talent behind him as well. He shouldn't have been playing here and glad he settled somewhere he's getting to play.
Jordan Montgomery exited to boos today at Chase Field, per @BNightengale. His line:

Dude is literally a managers dream. I don't get it. It's so dumb.
so many free agent signings are busting and busting hard
Arizona will regret the $20 MM player option for 2025

The bust rate on big money guys seems like it's about 60%. One time injuries don't count, but off the top of my head, Semien and Seager, Gerrit Cole, Harper, Ohtani, Betts, Freeman and Altuve have panned out.
We aren't at or near the end of most of those contracts so we will see. If one of those guys falls off a cliff like Pujols did it could switch to a bust.
What's interesting is teams not using opt outs to their advantage. The Padres resigned Machado but should have let him walk. That original contract would have been great for them had they done that. Now the new one looks like a bust. If a guy opts out once he hits 30, just say thanks for your service.
