    Doesn’t change anything I wrote. Hinch has not shown any inclination to use Sipp in a crucial situation and I don’t imagine that will happen unless it is out of necessity. Doesn’t matter if Sipp has been pitching outstandingly all year. If they won’t use him in crucial situations, the only thing keeping him on the roster is the remaining amount on his contract.

    This is so crazy I almost couldn't believe it was true. When Carlos goes, the whole team goes.

    That's crazy. Not as drastic as last season, but still a noticeable difference.

    The Astros lose more games where the other team scores more than them...

    They also hit more home runs when the ball clears the fence (even if barely)...

    They've also never lost a home game in the top of the 9th.

    Hey, he hit the ball hard that time. Getting good swings at Manaea early.

    I think my blood pressure has come back down from the Rockets game. Probably a good thing I missed Lance's first inning.

    Good swings early.

    Bregmans OPS right now is up to .791, quietly been rising.

    Watching Marisnick strike out has reached peak aggravation at this point.

    Put the f**king ball in play please.
