Astros get three hits, score a run, but Yuli rolls into an inning-ending 4-6-3 with two on to end the first
1-0 Astros.
I love Yuli.
But would it kill him to strike out while slumping instead of hitting into dp’s?
I love him too, but he has no business hitting higher than seventh.
Framber remembered to cover the bag.
A full season of this when you’re 38 isn’t a slump, it’s who you’ve become.

Nice 1-2-3 first from Framber
LOL that is awful-looking turf
Why would you not send the runners on a full count with Yuli? He’s a lot more likely to make contact than strike out, but that contact is likely to be s ground ball.
So…
Altuve
Peña
Bregman
Yordan
Tucker
Vazquez/Mancini
Yuli
Chas/Maldonado

I guess you’re thinking you don’t want a SOTO with RISP and Mancini due up next (why on God’s little acre Yuli is hitting ahead of Mancini is a mystery). Frankly, there is no good option with Yuli. He’s become an offensive liability, yet Dusty still insists on slotting him in a prime RBI spot.
Looks good to me.
To me also
Except that there are only eight spots there.

Vazquez draws a 1-out walk, but Matejevic schooled and McCormick caught looking
1-0 Astros
We don’t need a left fielder.
Dear Astros:
Quit trying to make JJ happen. It’s not going to happen.
The first slash means put Vazquez and Mamcini in either spot.
Last year, Garcia pounded us to a pulp. This year, he’s the king of seeing eye singles. I hate that guy.
Put Vasquez in the two hole when he plays. And both Yuli and Mancini will start.
I’m getting Great White vibes from JJ: every time he goes back to AAA he rakes, but when he comes back up, he doesn’t.
