    Nahhh....Sandy Koufax retiring is in the forefront of their minds.

    Fun Fact: Sandy Koufax never struck out Mike Schmidt.

    Mike Schmidt vs Nolan Ryan: .179/.405/.482, 5 HR in 56 AB

    I think the facts speak for themselves.

    Anyone else feeling weird about going against Greinke tonight? I know he wasn't here for super long and he just wasn't the same guy last season, but he definitely felt like a fan favorite when he was here and a guy you always rooted for. Maybe it's just me, but I get the sense this is going to feel like the first time we faced Keuchel with the White Sox. I want them to win, obviously, but I won't feel great if he gets crushed in the process. (Keuchel got killed.)

    Jerry Reuss was the first Astro pitcher to strike out Mike Schmidt

    If you can use a laugh. I made a video describing my reaction to the game yesterday. Have to turn the sound on.

    I love Greinke.

    Will be fun playing against him but let's light him up and give him an early night.

    I had completely forgotten that he pitched for the Stros a bit...was that a Spec Richardson trade that sent him out?

    It was a Spec trade, but they got Milt May who drove in Bob Watson with baseball's millionth run. So.. well worth it

    How can you not? He's one of the most unique characters in MLB history.

    A great documentary would be guys who played with and against him just telling Greinke stories for 90 minutes.

    You know how you steal more bases? Wear a 32” mitt
