    Two whole runs in the first three innings. Wow.

    Bregman has done absolutely nothing to warrant remaining in the clean up spot

    Springer
    Brantley
    Altuve
    Correa
    Tucker
    Bregman
    Trash
    More Trash
    Maldy

    Yeah at least Correa needs to be ahead of him. Tucker hasn't had any power but has still been more productive the Bregman this postseason. Bregman has to be better.

    He's actually hit the ball quite hard in a lot of AB's this series. A lot of this lineup has had some bad luck in that regard. I think you have to keep him there and just hope the solid hits find holes.

    That's what a lot of people forget. I completely understand people being upset with Altuve's errors and saying they cost them the game....I'm guilty of that. However...Altuve was the reason we -had- those leads in the first place. It's not like the rest of the lineup is hitting and then Altuve's just blowing the game.

    Again...not defending the fielding, but just the fact that Altuve was the reason we had those leads.

    We're up 2-0. If we're dead what are they tonight?

    Of course. Greinke has lasted longer than I thought tonight though. I’ll give him that

    Apparently you shouldn't throw him curveballs right over the plate either.

    Ump should have called a ball 4 and not a strike

    I was really pleased with the way he was throwing, but with him lately you kind of have the feeling of "That big home run is going to come at some point." Which is why those stranded runners hurt so much.
