    I'm more interested in seeing Reed. If they can get their bats going, who's closing won't be as important.

    I love that White and Tucker aren't in the lineup. Prefer Marisnick over GoGo but I'll take what I can get.

    Reed is going to mash this time around.

    Tucker has never gotten consistent at bats this year or last. I feel for him. He rarely plays more than 1 or 2 games in a row and he gets jerked all around the lineup. I think he could mash if given consistent at bats. His defense is an issue, I get that.

    Gattis at C, Tucker at DH could be good. Like you said Tucker's defense is the issue. If his bat isn't producing there's no spot for him. At least Marisnick makes up for his weak bat with spectacular defense.

    Loved the K, but the location of his fastball and the weak ground outs were equally impressive. Love seeing ten pitch innings from him.

    Let's jump on them early!

    If we go down a run, they will come out.

    Just no reason to mention Bregman and Rasmus sucking...it's been the story for the last week. Nothing new to note.

    Haha that's awesome. Houston sports fans at their finest. You'd think they prefer losing and being miserable.

    How has McCullers been doing with his throw to first, I haven't really been paying attention to it this year?

    What they haven't told us, is that there will be more Tal Hills in the infield.
