    Yeah you’re correct, there were several though (I remember one was in Colorado) last year that looked like it may be a HR off the bat only to die on the warning track.

    Did you really just use Griffey as an example of a long swing? Look how quick he is to the ball...

    Tucker keeps both hands on the bat in his follow through. Is that making it look like a long swing?

    I just saw Reddit on comercial for WWE Smackdown, coming to FOX. He was doing the Nature Boy strut. I thought it was pretty funny to see.

    Can't wait till October.

    Reddit, lol. Autocorrect, I presume.

    If Josh has kids, can we can call them subreddicks?

    Altuve & Alvarez will pinch hit when Hinch realises Astros aren't hitting anything

    Based on his batting avg this year, .271, Greinke ought to be batting 5th tonight.

    Verlander and Cole become first tandem in MLB history with b2b 14-K games.

    Interesting that Chirinos gets back to back off days. His bat lost a lot of its early sizzle from playing every day.... here’s to hoping he gets it back. It is surprising they’re giving him the day off with Greinke - I would’ve thought they’d want to get the two of them as much rhythm together as possible.

    Of the 15 Player/Pitcher/Rookie of the Month awards given out in the AL this year, the Astros have taken 7 of the 15.

    (Yordan: June, July, August; Cole: June, July; Yuli: July; Bregs: August)

    Wonder if it's a personal catcher situation brewing? Something to get Greinke back to full Greinke? It's been a while but Maldonado caught him 11 times back in '12 when they were both with the Brewers. Or Chirinos could be a little banged up and Hinch wants to give him a full 3 days off? Haven't heard anything about that though.

    Maldonado should have thrown that 2-2 pitch down to 3rd anyway

    As we'd say in high school, "Hit the weight room, Diaz."

    (Use the Springer workout.)

    Yeah, he's a much better athlete than I thought before this year.

    Reddick taking the ball to LF makes me smile.
