    I swear Marwin gets screwed over by bad strike calls more than anyone else in the league.

    Part of it is because he has such a discerning eye for balls and strikes. He gets jobbed and 90% of the time gives the ump a nasty look

    Uh, no Alex, taking 3rd there does NOT put the bunt back in play with 2 outs and McCann at the plate.

    Based on where Beltre was playing with the shift, it wouldn’t have been a stretch.

    McCann laid a couple down last year and beat the shift.

    Close what out?

    The only way the Astros win tonight is on a walkoff of some sort.

    3 pitching gems this series, 3 no decisions. Pitiful stretch for the bats.

    Astros making 25 wins for JV difficult thus far this season. No pitcher has accomplished this feat in nearly 30 years.

    Bats were fine yesterday... horrible bullpen.

    Devenski wasn’t a part of it.... he’s the only one who’s been unscathed this year.

    I didn’t put on the Tullamore Dew shirt. But I did a pour a glass. Then the bottom of 8th commenced. You’re welcome.

    Devo needs a little bit more deception between eye levels on his pitches.

    Right now, hitters are going to treat his stuff like a knuckle ball. If its high, its a fastball... if its low, let it go (changeup that breaks out of the zone)

    Accurate depiction of trying to win games the last 10 days.
