    Wesneski unlocked. Parades 3 run homer. Cam RBI.

    All proceeds from the Tucker deal paid dividends today.

    I like that we are trying to run a bit .

    I think the league as a whole is going in that direction. Maybe thats a side effect of the pitch clock.

    No doubt, especially after raising the fence in the power alleys. Was mainly agreeing with no hitters don't have the change in batter's eye excuse. Hoping they bring some new insights with them too.

    If only abreu didn't have his collapse in Seattle, astros would be looking at 4/5 seriess win.

    Better start than last year that's for sure. Took them how many games to win their 7th win?

    The giants themselves have a team. That whole NL West is a buzzsaw. Not looking forward to playing against the Padres.

    That division already have 3 teams with 10 wins already.

    Rangers with a -19 run differential.

    That cannot be good.

    Uh, that's on Espada. He lost those 2 games and tried desperately to lose all 3.

    Those lucky mfs won 95 games in 2016 with a +8 differential -- 36-11 in 1-runners.

    They were quickly blown out the playoffs

    Vegas probably still has Astros winning the division. 90+ wins ???

    I missed the catch by Jake in the 6th. On the replay I saw it. Damn fine catch there, Jake.

    Wesneski is a bit animated out there. I like it.

    He has one very good pitcher (slider) and a sinker that he has upped his velocity on.

    His slider eats up righties.

    They have changed his arm angle some and have changed when he throws his cutter.

    He still tries to get his fastball across to confuse with his sinker, but it just is not good.

    That's exactly what you're looking for in a relief pitcher.

    Astros now 3-4 in starts from Valdez and Brown.

    We need to win 2/3 of those starts in hopes to be successful.

    No Bueno.
