    So that's how Castor looks like in real life.

    Yeah, that homer was nice, but I think it's just an outlier. He was bound to get one. Not too bad on defense, but I like Davis much better as he's younger, has a higher ceiling, and can play both corners well. Hope to see him back this season. Wish we could just have him instead of wasting a spot with Federowicz (Gattis backup C). Also very glad to see Tony Sipp really getting it back together.

    Perez looks to have some very unfortunate facial hair.

    And a mullet.

    Perez doesn't appear to be throwing as hard as he is.

    No worries though as long as it's effective.

    Kid's impressive. Changeup needs work. Had no idea he was that small.

    Bottom 8, down 4. This is where it all turns around!

    sitting 96-97, flashing plus slider, average change, showing command in his MLB debut. Lefty. I want to see more of Perez.

    Come on Stros, a five run inning would be great.

    looks like Stros called it quits. Hope they come out tomorrow and get a split.

    Would argue the command was a bit lacking (he almost hit Davis then threw one eye level) but the rest of his stuff is definitely ready.

    He may be just a little amped up. Perfect game to get his feet wet, wish the score was reversed.

    Fastball has life. Got a little action to it when down and a some hop when up.

    Perez let's his chain hang, but he won't finish the inning.

    Perez had a big smile on his face when Hinch came out. I love this kid

    Perez smiled at Hinch when he got pulled.

    Yeah I thought the same, wonder if he usually throws 94-95 or if he really is at 96-97 that often? Honestly haven’t watched him in person.

    Hopefully this bullcrap series doesn't turn into decomposing bullcrap.

    Harris setting the tone early. Love it.
