    Alright... time to call the pitching.

    I say -
    1 more inning from Greinke
    2 from Javier
    1 from Paredes
    1 from Pressly.

    Yea I heard the exit velocity but was curious if they would give us the estimated distance? Looked about 430-440

    Can't get too cocky and confident like we did yesterday. This team has too much power for us to sit back and assume a victory. If Greinke could give us two more scoreless, they should be thrilled.

    Wouldn't say Greinke looks good. He's given up quite a few hits and get some great defensive plays

    I’m down with this. Hoping the offense keeps this up, though.

    A little selfish swing by altuve but on the brightside he had the confidence he could knock in a run or 2. Treating this lead as being down by 1 run.

    I didn't hate that Altuve approach. He sat on a fastball and got a 94 mph fastball middle high. It was a great pitch to hit with runners in scoring position. He just missed.

    It's also fair to say he could have taken 2 pitches.

    Yeah, considering we didn't even know if he could go today, if he gives up 3 runs in 5 against this team, that's a huge win.
