    Is there a lineup already? It could easily be the same aside from Castro/Tucker/Reed. How is that any different from the current lineup? All are minus bats who get lucky sometimes. At a minimum, I'd expect the same output probability (likely better) from Gattis/Kemp/White.

    Facing a lefty, so I expect Gattis/White (both bench guys right now) to play.

    Tucker is just a ball of suck. He should not be allowed in the clubhouse and should rent a car and drive back to Houston unclean in his uniform.

    Odds that we get shut out tonight are going up like crazy.

    You expect 12 runs in 6 innings again tonight?

    Hope you are right but...

    I think he's saying that because we've scored this much, we won't carry it over to tonight's game as it's very common for teams to score a lot one game then get very little in their next one.

    I'd expect they let Fister go all the way if he's not getting bombed. No reason to use the pen at all if they don't have to. Save everyone else for tonight.

    Probably pull him after 7 unless he has a quick 7th. Get Gustave an inning or two.
