    The difference this year is you don't see bad at bats. Last year he would struggle with sliders out side, this year you don't see that. Also, he is walking much more.

    He looks mature at the plate, and from an All Star he has become an MVP candidate

    Congratulations to Reed for his first RBI. Good to see hitting to the opposite part in the outfield.

    Can we just do this every night? Seriously, my blood pressure might be at a record low.

    I don't want to be greedy or jinx it but have the Astros found their mojo? Their turning it around in which back when they were 17-28 I had given up on them.

    He sticks behind his players, and they love him for it

    Some of his im game decisions draw plenty of criticism, and personally I blame him for the lack of discipline on the bases

    But hard to argue with the results in his year plus, the young guys on this team sure seem to like playing for him

    C'mon Fiers, be more aggressive. We've put 9 runs up for you

    The Royals are better when down, with 2 outs, and 2 strikes. We just can't put these guys away.

    Thank God! Hate the ****ing Royals. Feel like they are always coming back. Hopefully Fiers is done after 5.

    I don't recall Valbuena's BA being this high this late in the season since he's been with the team. He's really come on.
