The Astros send a message with Oberholtzer’s demotion

When Brett Oberholtzer woke up yesterday, he probably had the butterflies in his stomach from pitching against the New York Yankees. He probably felt confident with his spot in the Astros rotation after a few good starts in a row. He probably had a little extra swag with his recent success. So when he took the mound Saturday afternoon, Brett Gardner hit a double, he walked the next two hitters, after the first out is made Brian McCann hit a blast to right field for a grand slam.
