I'm watching the local team... what are they saying?
Time to warm up Kent Emannuel?
oh... you mean like their Ace Gerrit Cole?

Thank you Bregs!!!
Dude... the ump is giving Yarbrough like 3 inches outside as a strike.
Seems like baserunners bother him, or he's not comfortable pitching from the stretch. He always looks like he's cruising, until there's some...

Another stat I didn't mention is they "by far" lead the league w/ the lowest strikeout rate at 18%. Geez... these batters need to whiff more so...
Astros lead the league in GIDP! Should Dusty actually start to do stuff to combat this? Or just a byproduct of being on base alot & putting the...
