We've taken the series, so I can't complain with the outcome today... BUT, we want a win, so let's do that. I've been pretty dang happy with our pitching this series. Harang was solid and Alex Wood was masterful. I know it's the Astros, but we've gotta start somewhere!

Surprisingly, BJ Upton hasn't look completely awful from the leadoff spot. I want more from him, but he's been decent! Hopefully we can do work tonight and take this 3-game streak into a huge 4-game (DH included) series against the Phils!
 
Shirley Laird isn't DHing today?

Glad to see Freeman in there. Still think it's absurd that Justin is batting 6th, but whatever I guess.

Good call. I fixed it! haha and I think it is as well. I love Heyward hitting fifth, but Justin is in the wrong spot.
 
I still like La Stella, but for all the clamoring about moving him up when he was hitting around .400, there certainly hasn't been much for moving him down in the midst of his current 3-37 (6-40 counting BBs).
 
I hope that BJ becomes a singles hitter in the leadoff spot that takes a bunch of pitches.
 
Strange. BJ looked like a professional hitter there. He had two strikes on him and he shortened his swing and took to right field for a hit.
