    I honestly don’t know why Castro is still on this roster.

    And he and Meyers should’ve been bunting there it seems, two terrible ABs. Yuli should’ve gone home on the Diaz single, best chance to score apparently

    I think the Astros may have been able to sweep this series or at least win 3 of 4 if Dusty weren’t the manager

    Like, if Brantley was leaving the game as DH due to shoulder discomfort and yordan was available today (since he PH later), why not have him pinch hit then and stay in as DH instead of JJ?!?

    And I’m sure he’s going to say he was saving Stanek for the 9th now and that Pressly wasn’t available, but wish they would’ve gone with Stanek or Montero, or Abreu in the 8th rather than Maton; Maton wasn’t sharp the other night

    I wouldn’t expect the vitriol from Mets fans like what we get from the Yankees but are they booing? I’m at a bar and can’t hear it.

    Kyle tucker batting seventh is going to drive me nuts. Meyers at nine isn’t helping either.

    Great timing for Jason Castro's first HR and first multi-hit game of the season (and RBIs 2 and 3 on the season)

    Random question for you guys, but where do y'all usually go to buy tickets for Astros games? MLB/Astros official site? StubHub? Any good tips out there?

    Asking for a friend (seriously), usually when i go I use my company's tickets so it has been a while since trying to buy individual tickets...

    I just use the ap. Buy the cheapest tickets possible then move down either by the third or first base line. Usually like seven rows back. It’s awesome.

    if you’re looking for something more secure as far as confirmed seating Tex and I are a part of a Facebook that is constantly, and annoyingly sometimes, selling tickets on Facebook.
