    McCann needs to teach Altuve some baserunning. It ain't pretty, but I'll take it.

    Longoria had to rush it with Wheels going down the line.

    Bullpen brought the goods tonight. I'd have been ok taking just 1/3 in this series, hoping to end the weekend on a high note. The Astros are back to being fun to watch.

    Guess I can switch to the Rockets feed now. According to the GARM we're down about 42 points, I'd bet it's under 12.

    The GARM is a scary place during the regular season, it's downright terrifying in the playoffs.

    There was a ridiculous article I read today talking about how bad Gregerson has been. I did comment that he only had one really, really bad game and the other 7 (now 8) have been fine.

    it's good that he's pitching better. I definitely want him to hold on to the closer role, but he hasn't gained my trust in super high leverage close games. He will have chances i'm sure.

    Yes, we all hope Correa is great.

    He's shown decent clutch ability, thus far.

    Almost everyone is convinced that he is bad when he's been an incredibly dependable reliever for the most part.

    Who is everyone? That's literally the first time I've heard of people complaining about Gregerson.

    Nice start for Fiers after he remembered it was no longer batting practice. Bats always come to play when he pitches. He is like the RBI whisperer that fiers.
    Altuve being picked off that's just him wanting everything at once, little patience. You can see it when he has a day off and is biting of his fingernails and fingers off.
    Luke and Harris are money. Only the world class once in a generation closers like rivera pitch perfect and even they blow leads. it happens. This has to be one of the best pitching staffs in the entire mlb. Hit me with some data!
