    Yeah, I'm basically watching current posts about last year's Sipp. He's been solid for most of the year. One of the less-discussed improvements on the team.

    That is as clutch a relief pitching performance as I have seen by any Astro pitcher this year. Sipp is one million percent better than he was last year.

    That wasnt my narrative but thanks anyway.

    I brought it up cause when the game is close and in the closing innings the comments are magnified to the red sox fans.

    That swing is holding him back from being a more consistent hitter and it's maddening.

    High heat is enticing, but damn Jose. Get 'em next time.

    Our Pen gotta keep holding them down, and good chance it happens.

    Get Betts out first.

    Yeah that's why he's been garbage against the fastball. He swings put of his damn shoes and doesn't let the pitch travel. He has plenty of natural power but still insists on swinging like that.

    Springer is not ready at the plate to hit upper 90s fastballs. Too long and slow a swing. It's a weakness that will be exploited.
