    Springer needs to keep his damn head in. So frustrating to watch him whiff at so many pitches right down the pipe.

    I just saw a ATT-Uverse ad on the game on CSN. That is awesome you have a service sponsoring your games that can't even see your channel.

    Its great advertising for them... they are guaranteed to reach an audience that does not have Uverse.

    I always thought it was dumb to see directTV or Dish network commercials when I had those services already.

    Well it wasn't sexy, but yet another solid outing from Cosart. 10 straight starts allowing 3 runs or less.

    He is getting by on pure talent/luck.

    I can't stand watching him pitch for some reason.

    With talent and luck, you can win just about everything.

    He got lucky last year, his results this season are far less lucky. Aside from one terrible start he has been excellent.

    He may not end up being great, but he is a solid MLB starter right now, regardless of how much you don't seem to like him.

    He has a long way to go to living up to his potential. He still needs to develop his off speed offerings.

    I don't know what it is. I enjoy watching guys who pound the strike zone.

    Cosart seems to walk to many guys for me, but y'all are completely correct that he has been getting it done lately.

    Yeah, similar to what I was saying about Dominguez - no team has 5 aces. View Cosart as a #5 starter (which hopefully he will be in a couple years), and he becomes a ton more appealing/valuable.

    Springer swings and misses more than Karter.

    Didn't think that was physically possible.

    Unbelieveable stretch Springer was on before we brought up Singleton and then he shuts down.

    Altuve getting on base, often in scoring position, in front of him played a big role in the Springer "hot streak".

    He's going to have his ups and downs... at some point he will hit a wall... rookies should be judged a little differently, regardless of their age when they make their debut.
