    Gurriel has had some good playoff moments

    He is a career .266 hitter in the playoffs with an OPS of .720

    Would you rather be hurt by the cause of 1) Correa's broken ribs, 2) Bregman's sore elbow, or 3) Verlander's stiff neck?

    Yordan has an above avg arm. They wont be turning singles into doubles because of his arm like they do with Meyers and Chas. Yordan has decent range in LF and Meyers is there to help cover that weakness.

    Good thing Caratini is as good defensively as Diaz.

    Then Caratini makes an error.

    smell what youre stepping in, but I kind think Ol' Reliable Brent Strom should've been groomed for manager w/ Espada/Lopez/Pettis as his right hand guy after Hinch left (provided DJB was destined to serve 1 season)... I think the MLB broke up the band with intent, as effect of how this new-beginnings, champ-era Astros orgs' coaches figured out a loophole. Hey, I'm sureAF all in on how/what they did.

    Liked for the Towles reference. LMAO

    Out in Crosby they named a street after Towles after his big homerun game.

    Spot On and the Stros also figured out a way to beat the odds that Manfred stacked against them.
