Without Villar, we kind of need Marisnick as a potential pinch runner. There's no one else off the bench that's a threat to steal. Plus, as cold as Gattis has been, he's still more productive than Marisnick.
I am rarely nervous before a sports game, but I am tonight. Simply put, the Astros deserve to win this series.
Not true. Marisnick is 3 for 7 while Gattis is 3 for 20 plus Jake is the most athletic player we have and makes things happen.
Crazy stat from ESPN: KC's victory Monday against the Astros was the second time in postseason history a team won an elimination game when down by four or more runs entering the eighth inning. The first time? When KC rallied in last year's wild-card game against the A's. Maybe it as much about KC and their approach as it was the Astros' bullpen.
