    I KNOW

    What i am saying is I would have preferred Villar over Lowrie IN THE ROSTER.

    He plays more position, better average than Lowrie, speed on the bases.
    I don't know if Lowrie is injured and not saying, but he does not LOOK GOOD outhere. If we have a lefty Marwin will play over him, if we have a righty Valbuena will, who is more useful for us, Villar or Lowrie????
    WEll, Lowrie is on the roster, the other one not.

    honestly. Not enough to know who the better defensive player is between Lowrie and Luis. If Luis is better defensively then ok. If he isn't. Then it is a toss up. Gattis on the other hand. Give him game three since it will be home. If he doesn't produce what do you have to lose with giving tucker a try? He had some good stats vs right handers this year.

    Valbuena has been much better defensively than Lowrie, plus is hitting much more vs righties than Jed.

    About Tucker, i do agree with you, i think he should DH a little bit more over Gattis.

    I agree Lowrie looks bad lately, either hurt or just pressing. Either way Valbuena needs to start at third unless a lefty is pitching (then maybe I would go with Marwin).

    Alright. Didn't know Lowrie was not solid defensively. For some reason I thought he was.

    Except it didn't work tonight. Final: Royals 5 Astros 4

    And it didn't work about 3 times tonight. It's not one example and to argue otherwise is the epitome of stupidity.

    Kazmir wasn't the reason the Astros lost. He actually delivered today compared to previous starts in my opinion

    Glad we got the split, but really infuriating to choke away a game like that. Ah well, gotta win these two at home to take the series.

    Tough loss but glad to come out of KC with a split.

    I feel pretty confident with Keuchel and Lance going at home.

    I don't think anybody thought a sweep was likely or anything. Just hurts to cough up a game like that.

    It's all good though. Take care of business at home. We good.
