    Bregman on he feels at the plate: "Horrible but we’re just getting started. I’ve just got to get better mechanically. I took BP before the game and got to get some good swings off there."

    Bregman on plans for Monday's off day: "Sit in the hotel room. That's pretty much it. Order some room service. It's different, but we're getting to do what we love and that's play the game of baseball."

    Shohei Ohtani expressed discomfort on his pitching arm after today’s game and was sent for an MRI.

    Not sure on this. His fastball has weird movement. It looks like a RHP's cutter almost. Weird sometimes can be hard for hitters to square up. Sometimes not. Will need to see more.

    Couldn't watch but listened on the radio. Great game. Some takeaways:
    James= yikes (control)
    Framber was excellent today, hopefully his command issues are fixed and we can get this Framber the rest of the year.
    I literally love Blake Taylor
    Brantley can make a serious run at the batting title. Rooting for his AVG to finish above 400, too.

    You just described a lefty that's going to be in MLB a long time.

    One of Luhnow's last moves.

    Thanks Jeff., and thanks for all your effort you put in to bring a championship to this city. You're truly a next level thinker.

    Same ones next series too, right? Crew has called all 9 games thus far this season.

    Can that umpire get a few rebounds? The Rockets can't.

    Rather watch more Stros, or any team representing HTown than trash TV. Let baseball, basketball and football talk.

    A nice parting gift from Luhnow.

    It won’t happen but I wish we would bring Luhnow back at the end of the year as President of the club. If Click doesn’t like he could pound sand.

    LOL Dusty always sounds like he doesn’t know what the hell is going on... but is reassuring like it will be fine.

    Yep. Massve FU.

    eta: However...that's probably the worst possible place to put Luhnow. The Stros were totally tone deaf at PR while he was GM, Crane still has no clue whatsoever, so...no. Bad idea.

    In fairness to Crane; he was told Luhnow would not be back by the commissioner. However seeing how we have been treated by the media and the players... part of Crane has to be thinking about it, even if fleeting... recently Crane asked a reporter “What else do you guys want me to do?”

    I would love Crane to embrace the full on Villain role. He already looks like he could play a slimy one in hollywood.

    Did you read the recent Bob Nightingale piece?

    Wasn't his headline..."Astros Owner Crane Comes Clean About Cheating Scandal"

    Nothing new, literally nothing new in the article, but people just won't let it die.

    Explain to me how a GM's sole focus is on winning a championship and not giving two sh!ts about PR is a bad thing?

    Did you not see what happened to the Astros the past couple of years?

    Seriously?

    Why does it matter what the media thinks? They've been proven to be phonies. (Red Sox/Yankees) F'em

    I cant stand the media and not just in sports. Sanctimoniuos SOB's
