    Jake, last 7 days: 3-14, 1 2B, 1 HR, 0 BB, 6 K, 2 SB, 1 R, 2 RBI
    Chris, last 7 days: 2-8, 1 2B, 0 HR, 0 BB, 4 K, 0 SB, 1 R, 0 RBI

    They're both terrible at the plate. Both hit almost-HRs last series. Jake brings consistent great defense and speed, and Chris brings the minuscule threat of power. I'm good with making an educated decision between those tradeoffs in each game

    Not too optimistic about tonight's game. Some of these Yankee hitters have destroyed Feldman in their careers.

    I see what you say but is more about defense in that left field side which is big. That's why they have Gardner playing there eventough he could play cf.

    Is my CBS live cast telling me right that those first two fastballs to Correa were at 101 mph?

    Holy Cr@p!

    Gonna be tough sledding tonight. We struggle against hard throwers.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Astros?src=hash">#Astros</a> face Nathan Eovaldi tonight. They have the lowest BA in MLB vs pitches 95 MPH+, .176 (51 for 290). 84% of Eovaldi FBs 95 MPH+.</p>&mdash; Daren Willman (@darenw) <a href="https://twitter.com/darenw/status/635893268291579904">August 24, 2015</a></blockquote>

    This guy hit 102 his last outing apparently. He looks like he has really good stuff.

    Chris Carter is beyond terrible against FBs.

    Gattis ground ball to the left side and it ends in a hit! I never thought I'd see the day.

    That was an abysmal AB from Carter.
