Could/should easily have 3 more blown saves. We already mentioned the Oakland game that he most definitely had the responsibility of giving it up. Barely survived the Tampa and Angels game too. He made the all-star team more for his excellence as a set-up guy who happened to have some saves right before the selection (otherwise, it's tough for set-up guys to get in). Have you seen his 9th inning numbers vs the 8th inning? It's drastic.

Until our bats are revamped (Vally, Guriell, Bregman starts hitting), Gattis should play catcher. His discrepancy between DH and C can't have his DHing until the overall lineup improves. Let Castro DH. Surprised his WHIP is even that low. He's had only 2 or 3 perfect innings since closing.
The Astros shifting is very flawed against good hitters. Especially when you pitch away from the shift, just stupid.
