    I think Hinch may be platooning more to start the season as a way to get the early rust/jitters out of the way for everyone on the roster, and also to get a good enough sample size early on to make more permanent roster/lineup decisions

    Good win by the Astros.

    Their pitching was their strength but now it seems as if their hitting is really coming along.

    May their hitting success continue because that will be key.

    Did anyone just catch that sponsorship while they were showing Aoki's home run from last night?

    McCullers yells "F**k" in his glove as the inning ends.

    Time to start scoring runs.

    McCullers mad at Gattis? What's he worked up about in the dugout?

    The A's broadcasters were speculating that the shift upset him. It was costly.

    The only dps involving the Astros are while they're batting.

    That has to be one of the worst calls I've seen.

    What a joke. Healy was already walking back to the dug out.

    Good thing Lance can't see the replay at this very moment. He's about to snap.

    3 innings 75 pitches. Not good but Lance showed great poise to get out of that jam. Lets score some runs!
