    Free Bregman jerseys sounds like quite a deal given jerseys run like $120.

    I hate saying this but it might be true, you may be the best to ever play the game.

    They're confusing statistics-wise again this season. As you said their OPS is below .700, yet they had outscored the Astros going into today's games. They actually have a positive run-differential but are 3 games under (karma from last season).

    We're making Triggs look like Curt Schilling out there.

    Apparently the astros need to be down 3 runs or more to feel the sense or urgency. A one run deficit has never felt so difficult to overcome

    So... When is Correa finally gonna live up to the hype? Guy is an easy strikeout machine.

    Huh? Pulling Musgrove after 6.1 IP of 1 run ball and only 86 pitches?

    I know we need to get Sipp some work, and you don't get much a much juicier, low leverage opportunity than going against a lefty hitting .197 in a game where his team is already losing. But why even rock the boat?
