    How about before MLB tries to fix the speed of the game or other things that aren't really problems, they fix the terrible umpiring situation?

    Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I was not sure what the rule was. So if Gattis is the DH and Castro gets injured and Gattis goes and catches that is it. No more DH and the pitcher starts hitting?

    garbage call on Marwin

    No issues w/pinch-hitting for gurriel, whatever the reason may be. He's playing the rest of the season pretty much either way.

    Fine with Keuchel coming out for the 8th / would like him pulled if a baserunner reaches at all

    The way he's pitching I let him go until a runner reaches.

    Bad call for sure. Regardless, I dislike the approach. I get that he's in a slump, but Marwin is neither a speed burner nor elite bunter. So I'm not sure why he's been so incessant on bunting for hits all season.

    95 pitches through 8. With Machado, Trumbo, Schoop, Davis...probably worth having Giles ready to go.

    I'm bringing in Giles if it's a save opportunity. Keuchel if not (and take him out if a runner reaches).

    Will Giles have his first scoreless 9th inning save appearance?
