    Who knew that Yankee Stadium was the cure to our offensive woes?

    You got his BABIP since that time? Must be pretty low with the small K numbers.

    The umpire has been bad both ways today.

    Assuming Carter will go to 1B, Marwin to LF, Lowrie to SS and Valbuena to 3B

    Sam f'in Holbrook. Dude
    .that was 7 inches of the plate and 3 inches off the dirt. Hinch should have done more, kicked some dirt on the plate to get tossed too. I hope Colbt said something good.

    Bad calls are going to happen from time to time, but it really irks me when an umpire takes offense when a player calls him out on an obviously terrible call. Rasmus had every right to be frustrated with that call, and Holbrook should have been the bigger man there and let it go. I'm all for refs and umpires controlling the game, and keeping things in check, but he messed up there and he knew it. Just terrible.

    Still didn't justify the toss.

    Ump you blew the call. Didn't even make a decisive call. To add insult to injury you toss the player when you were in the wrong.

    McHugh sucks guys, right? He should be DFA'ed asap or relegated to the 6 th man in the rotation.

    Moving Gomez down to 6 appears to be a stroke of genius from Hinch.

    I'm hoping there's a better option or that they go with Singleton. If they want to remove Carter from the 40 now, they should've done it a month ago and I'll be pissed

    Today McHugh is McGreat

    The 6 starters for the Astros are doing great, it has to be the strongest position in our team.
