    He doesn't have to be that good.... his true level is likely below that, but that is still very good.

    Right now, mechanics, command, confidence all low. He's afraid to find any of the plate.

    Harris coming back would be the best thing for everybody... but that apparently is no longer a given.

    They should try to give him several days rest. Dead arm maybe?

    Last inning. Game is in Giles' hands. So far so good, but more runs wouldn't hurt.

    He's my favorite player and such a leader on the Stros team

    If we win this game we gotta address our slumping offense. Been so bad and way below our average lately.

    Has he ever done a multi-inning save as an Astro?

    Has he ever done one ever?

    Should be a great ninth.... or a terrible one.

    Lots of Rookies and young players, missing Correa, Springer and Gaddis really hurts. The kids playing will help in the playoffs. Hurting now.

    I hope it doens't take too long for Correa to get back going when he is back.

    Not sure but the high leverage in the eighth is what was worrisome, hopefully no walks in the ninth.

    Cool.

    Ultimately, means nothing if he converts... and no excuses if he fails.
