    Astros going through the motions right now.
    Another Cy Young appearance by the Orioles. And
    I just can’t get excited for DuDu Dubon in the lineup. Ever.

    Front office must have thought the six man rotation was working so incredibly well, it couldn't possibly continue. grumble grumble, grunt grunt

    Yep. If Doobie wont hit, perhaps a stronger hitter would help things. :D

    His curveball has nothing, and is getting blasted upper-deck style to both RF and LF

    Even the SS making his debut is nonchalant

    I doubt it, at least wholly. But you're going to hit some bumps breaking in a new catcher.

    Vazquez ain't making him throw s**tass breaking balls and have terrible command in general. You know the pitching coaches and Maldy's talking to them both b/w innings also.

    plus with pitch com I’m sure the bench can call pitches too or are assisting Vazquez if needed. Also Vazquez is a professionally catcher - he’s not an idiot .

    You think he'd be better suited as a middle inning reliever? You think he's the odd man out in the post season?

    Of course a double play when we have the first base runner on . This isn’t gonna go our way
