    Baker and Greinke were conversing. I strongly suspect if Zack wanted to stay in, he would have.

    Idk if it’d been mentioned, but Scrubb has some real tree trunks for legs. Potentially one of the biggest cabooses in Astros history. He’s a physical specimen, that’s for sure. I’m cheering for him, seems like a nice kid. That HR really hurts for James but hopefully he can help shore up the bullpen. I like the idea of limiting his innings. Beautiful start by ZG—we’re lucky to have him. Maddux esque tonight.

    Maybe so... But if I were Greinke, I know my bullpen is liable to give it up at any moment.... I would at least give it another inning....

    Speaking of lungs, I saw this today. This is a set of lungs from a horse. Almost as massive as Scrubbs caboose, ehh @awc713 ?

    Ward definitely came to mind. And Lee. Shoutout Kent Bottenfield.

    I wonder if Kemp and fiers talk in the clubhouse? Does Kemp get text messages from Astros players before games, look at fiers across the clubhouse and just laugh?

    With Diekman (left-hander) coming in and Straw on 2nd... Straw should really try to steal 3rd off him.

    He didn’t throw many curves yesterday. It remains his best pitch.

    Whether or not its due to elbow soreness, residual knee discomfort, or still working out kinks without ST remains to be seen. He was very good tonight.
