    Another game where Melvin blew through his entire BP (unnecessarily IMO). I fully expect that BP to implode in the playoffs, granted they don’t have any better options. Cahill had 6 BBs today

    I think that's my favorite Astros line up - probably would rather have Kemp over Reddick but it's a strong line up

    Reddick can have streches of consistent hitting but he brings significantly better defense which has come in handy multiple times this season and could save a game or two in the postseason .

    Kemp has been a significantly better hitter from what I've observed this season and also brings amazing speed on the bases and is not that inferior of a fielder IMO

    For me, it depends on which side of the ball we are struggling at. If pitching, then Reddick for defense. If hitting, then Kemp for his more consistent offense.

    Terrible called 3rd strike... a good 4” off the plate.

    Correa back is really hurting him at the plate

    Trash ass call on Yuli. Totally changed the rhythm of the inning. **** you ump for aiding and abetting the media narrative.

    Who would have thunk that Jose and Carlos would be the two most disappointing bats in our lineup at this point of the season?

    Correa being garbage at the plate is really getting old

    I like Kemp, but he’s average on a good day in left. Complete noodle of an arm.

    What about Bogarts? He seems to get on base a lot.

    Really wish DK would have gone off the plate more to test the umps impartiality.
