Listen to Talking Stros every Sunday talk Astros baseball.
Segment 1
The Astros finally win?
It was a tough week, 2-5 with rainouts, doubleheaders, last-minute scratches
Outside of Josh James and Aledmys Diaz, the Astros are the healthiest they have been in a while.
Zack Greinke ate up some innings today, got his 200th win.
Astros struggled to maintain the lead in the five-game losing streak.
Brantley with 51 multi-hit games five consecutive. Batting .335. League-leading and Astros franchise record is 69 by Altuve in 2014 by Altuve
First four-hit game of the season for Bregs, Big go-ahead three-run homer on a curveball, 30 homers, career-high is 31 last year.
Thoughts on Sanchez
The Astros won 4-1. They are 79-46 and avoided a four-game sweep against the A’s
Segment 2
Diaz’s surprise IL
Who is coming up?
Nine relievers for Sunday’s game
Mayfield or Straw?
We almost had a brad peacock sighting, but the Astros stranded two runners on in the ninth inning.
Segment 3
Tucker vs. Reddick
September callups, still 40 this year, but next year it will go from 26 - 28 players in September. They can carry more players, but for one game, they have to have only 28.
I like that, for Fantasy Baseball.
Do the Astros trust Tucker at first base? Next year
Players weekend jersey nicknames.
