Sun. 5/25 GT - M's have 3 switch hitters; we gotta win and Solano will RULE!

For the game thread steal...where were you, Pharmabro?

Amazing the the Astros are batting 8 RH batters (plus one SH) against righty Castillo. Hope that bodes well for us.
Colton Gordon is a lefty. Wilson is starting 6 rh batters and the 3 switch hitters. Jump on Gordon early and often, please!
...and keep our K's to a minimum today, all right?
Mariners will hit 4 HR's this game.

Colton Gordon to Make Another Start on Sunday

Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said that left-handed pitching prospect Colton Gordon will make another start on Sunday against the division-rival Seattle Mariners in place of the injured Ronel Blanco (elbow). Gordon, the team's No. 14 prospect per MLB Pipeline, could see extended run in Houston's starting rotation with Blanco likely facing an extended absence. The 26-year-old southpaw was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday and will be making his third big-league start after allowing six earned runs on 12 hits (two home runs) while walking two and striking out 10 in 9 2/3 innings in his first two starts against the Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder doesn't throw hard but has produced high spin rates. His sweeping slider is particularly effective against lefties, but he'll face a tough matchup this weekend against the first-place Mariners.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Felt like a losing road trip. Boys really let us down in Houston. Last 2 games were theirs for the taking. Sad.

Damnnn it knew this lineup would lose!!! Ughhhh wow First place is dwindling down. Bad bad end of the road trip. Cheaters are the true Kings of the West!!!

Not having a 2b or a 1b is costing us and Jerry is loving it. Absolutely loving it no need to make any moves disgusting display this whole series!!!

Like I said, "Solano will RULE!" and he did. Then Tellez pinch hit for him and promptly struck out.
It's called PINCH HIT, not Pinch K

Ya jinxed the Mariners by putting the wrong date on the game thread title. IT'S YOUR FAULT WE LOST!!!
