    Amazing that within the same week after their run differential got majorly corrected by Boston… the Astros correct it right back.

    Ain’t baseball so freakin karmic?

    And I also carried my batting glove in my hand on the bases like Hatcher did. Thought that was so cool.

    I agree. Not a fan of stat-padding or running up the score at all. At the same time, what else are they supposed to do? Intentionally whiff at everything? Which hurts their stats? I honestly have come around to support a run rule. After 7 complete innings, one team has a 12-run (3 grand slams) lead.

    or it could just be run rule when a position player comes in and they have a 5+ run deficit.

    Maton going to take over Montero's blow out, inning eater role.

    MLB called Dusty. Told him to make Maton give up home run to Cabrera so Detroit fans have something to cheer for.

    Hopefully just rust for Maton, but he was deteriorating before the injury.

    Three K's though so at least there's that
