    Bagwell should be promoted to President of Baseball Operations.

    I will say whoever wins the West will get a bye.

    The Central really blows. Looks worse than the last couple of seasons.

    So figure out a way to win the division.

    To be uncharitable, he looks like a drunk and sounds like an idiot.

    Going into this series with the pitching we had lined up, 2 of 3 would be nice. We have a shot.

    Did Bagwell really defend the Montero resigning by referring to his “track record”???

    Obviously Christ did not pick us last night, brothers and sisters. But tonight I have faith.

    For whatever reason, likely the different pitches he sees batting in front of Yordan

    Last year batting 2nd he had a .837 OPS and then went on to win the ALCS and WS MVPs

    This year batting second (very small sample size) he has a 1.231 OPS impaired to his .705 overall

    He has 3 HR in 20 at bats hitting 2nd and 3 also in 166 at bats elsewhere

    But by all means let’s not go with what has been great

    Maybe not

    But we do have the option of putting Peña in that spot in the order where he crushes those pitches down the middle by pitchers who fear walking someone in front of Yordan

    It's another beautiful spring day.

    Going into the series I expected 1 win 2 losses. It was just time and against a good team and 2 of 3 w/ replacement rotation starters.

    I just don't understand the whole can't score the day after a big offensive game, thing.

    It's so counterintuitive

    They can Win today but the bats must lead the way.

    The Brewers are barely over 500.

    At least they didn't score 10+ runs yesterday.

    Who gives a ****? The Astros are a way better team than the pitiful Brewers.
