    Grae Kessinger replaces Jose Altuve at 2B, presumably because it's is first game back and they are simply being cautious with him.

    Captain Bligh needs to pitch the 9th. Maybe the 8th too.

    I need to see a 83mph fastball and a massive 60mph ephus pitch.

    I mean maybe but no. We won the series 2-1 and gained a game. Doesn’t matter if you win by 1 or 10 - it’s how you rebound. The Astros get dominated in at least a few games a season - get the pitching in line and we’ll be fine for playoffs . I’ve already forgotten this game

    Team 9 vs Team 10 is definitely a rather divisive debate in baseball. I am firmly in the Team 10 camp.

    Six run Framber followed by 7 run Seth..Seth should be playing for the Skeeters.

    Maybe he said they batted a round. Like one round.

    The first batter of the inning bats again, that's how you bat around.

    It's not that complicated.

    Problem is how do we get the pitching in line?

    At this point, I'd like to see a couple of Ranger batters kissing the dirt.

    He has had some rough plays defensively, as of late.
    On a positive note, Mushinski has looked good in limited outings. Perhaps he can play a larger role. Martinez has been hit around hard, lately. Tough to see because I like him, and he's had some nice moments, but you gotta get your best players out there.
