    Giles got the 3rd out...don't put him back out there in the 8th though. :)

    just noticed that the red sox have six .300 hitters. crazy.
    while we're wondering what it'd be like to have two of them in one lineup?

    Yeah, he didn't walk Hanley because of wild pitches/terrible command.

    When nearly every for sure strike you throw gets pounded... you have to start feeling like you have to throw a perfect pitch every time out.

    Then you get squeezed on top of it... its frustrating.

    I think the team is handling it well though... that was a good spot to bring him in.

    Big spot for Harris here... at some point (like Gregerson), he's going to get a little touched up. Just hope he can come through tonight. Team needs this rebound game.

    If Altuve keeps this up and ends up being one of the best Astros ever, he could still shop at HEB and nobody would even know the greatness who's buying HOF burgers next to them.

    JBJ is their 9 hitter... and he's probably the hottest hitter in that lineup right now.

    Who would've thought it would be Harris, not Giles, that is making a run at supplanting Luke as the closer.

    Luke's got his work cut out for him in the 9th with the 2-4 guys.
