Doyle steals 3B
Abreu promptly walks the first batter he faces on four pitches
3U ends the inning.
Abreu did not throw a pitch over the plate, but we made it to the Stretch…Astros lead 3-1
Rumfield really bailed Abreu out
By fascinating, did you mean incredibly risky?
Abreu needs a phantom IL stint so he can go work on his mechanics. He also has no business pitching high-leverage innings until his fastball command returns.

I know Abreu has been great for years and have no doubt he will be again, but he should not be pitching in any close games right now unless we have no other options. Got away with it that inning

Yordan with a 1-out double off the top of the LCF wall
Yordan is hitting like an MVP to start this season.
Now would be a great time for Isaac to find the Crawford Boxes.
Does Joe Espada not see that Abreu can’t find the zone at all?
Abreu with a clean 8th, including a couple of strike outs.
3-1 Astros
Freeman helped Abreu out for the second strike out, but it’s amazing what happens when you throw strikes.
Maybe this will get Abreu going. His era is just a shade under 13 after that outing.
Can we not just play Vazquez every day. I’m sick of Diaz.
