My concern with the Mariners changing coaches is that they catch a spark. Hope last nights comeback isn't the start of something. I'd like to see the Stros go at least 5-4 through next weekend.

We aren't going to be able to limp into the playoffs. The mariners are a good team. And with how the schedule is setup people need to button up because it's going to get closer.
Have you seen our outfield, we no longer have the lineup of years past. Pair that with how many games our bullpen blew for us early in the year, and I'm a bit suprised we are in 1st.Beau Holder said:
To have a lead of less than 5 on a team that just fired its coach after falling ro .500 reflects on how many chances this team keeps blowing. Last night an obvious one, but 3-3 against both Sox teams being worse.

We traded Valente Bellozo for Amaya when the Marlins DFAd him in April. Bellozo has proceeded to move from AA to debuting for the Fish in July. Not a hard thrower but only 1 poor outing and has faced KC, Boston, Cin, Phi, Atl, and NYM.linkdude said:Astros moves today:

Neris will get his No. 50 jersey back, and Tayler Scott will switch to 54.

We've seen worse.
Joe Espada said Yordan Alvarez is "doing better" and planned to take swings in the cage pregame. Asked if it's something the team is concerned about long-term, Espada said "not at this point, no."

I'd like to still have him. I'd be more excited about him in the lineup than Dubon...but there's only one player involved on either side of that trade that significantly increases our chances to win in the playoffs and that's Kikuchi.
