Hal sucks
Did they shifted on JD? That was a hole he poke through.
How is Verlander still throwing 96? Test the water.
If JD had been batting 4th with 2 outs, Hinch would have walked him.
Big time. Really weird. Power pitcher on the mound and a guy in JDM who goes the other way better than anyone.
Hal sucks
or the pine tar

I still believe that JD should bat 3rd in every game he plays.
Another problem that arises with Betts out of the line-up is Bogey batting second.
Altuve is a base hitting machine.
Great AB by Vazquez, he didn't get on base or anything, but when you suck at hitting you need to make an impact somehow, his was making Verlander throw a lot of pitches.
Good job working Verlander. He might only go 5.
I suppose its better than the flagpole and the hill they used to have in CF, but that sharp angle going back in the LCF wall is flat stupid. All they had to do was make a more obtuse angle out there and it would be fine. Even just having dead space behind it would be fine. What they have is ridiculous.
I am surprised the Astros continue to go with Marisnick. Yes, he can defend, but his offense is so otherworldly bad that his overall is terrible
Hal sucks
Speak of the devil. The Astros plunk one off the shallower other end of that stupid thing. MLB will accept anything these days. Any park, any rule, any stupid uni, any stupid promo day, a rocket ship baseball. I used to think I would at least make it to the grave before MLB promoed itself to irrelevance. Not so sure any more.
Bogey is trending downward. I thought that for sure this would be a breakout season for him. For now, I'm wrong.
