    There's a reason one of these teams is the worst team in baseball and the other one is the best team.

    What a strange series this has been.

    apparently my stream is delayed. Givens being a b**** and should be mad at himself for his runs..

    Sweep the Dirty Bird. Team Dysfunction 101- RF throws like a girl then jogs to the errant throw. INF catches the ball doesn't even attempt to throw the ball home.

    Alvarez apparently went down the line at 28.6 ft / sec on that run. That's what Altuve averages (and faster than Derek Fisher and George Springer).

    Pretty unlucky inning for Givens, too. Not sure it was all his fault. Line drive single by Springer could've been caught if LF wasn't playing so deep. Unstoppable bunt single and then a dinky triple where OF and SS misplay it. I doubt the pitch was intentional but who knows

    Astros +64 run-diff during their 8-game winning streak is the best since the '39 Yankees.

    A measly +2 today will suffice though.

    The bottom of our order is really the bottom of the order. Hitting into the double play is a speciality. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    It ain't over yet. Orioles have been hitting like they are the Dodgers today.
