    Offense has failed thus far.

    Let's see if they're saving something for late.

    DOUBLE

    Forward happened well enough.

    Let's get him (PR Straw) home.

    It's one thing Blummer going on about Kemp since he only just got cut, but blowing smoke up Gattis' ass?

    It's a problem not being able to use Yordon for more than a PH in NL ballparks.

    ?? The pitcher is going to be in his place anyways.

    Unless you want to save Straw for later because you're presuming the Astros aren't going to capitalize and drive him home...

    Its a good thing they're an AL team.... Yordan can't play defense.

    Apparently he makes Big Papi look almost Bagwell-like at 1B.

    I would prefer he take the place of Reddick instead of taking Yuli out of the lineup. He must be just awful for the organization to be so afraid to use him in the field. His bat is too good to be sitting.

    He is awful. You can simply see that in the few games he's been in the OF thus far. They tried him at first in the minors... it was a disaster.

    The only place you may get away with it is in LF in MMP.

    Clutch opportunity for Bregs.

    Hasn't done well this season, but there's still time.

    Well that's a shame he hasn't been able to develop better than that in the field. Hope he can somehow improve.

    Yordan for Syndergaard (or other pitcher) ??

    Doesn't help either that Alvarez is slow.
