The local broadcast kept saying "Machine". I thought they were calling Chapman that. That's respect when the opposing broadcast is calling you machine. Turns out Machin was playing 3rd base. Another solid performance for Greinke crooked neck and all.
And after I say this, he hits a BOMB! There was another time I suggested he move down and he began a great hitting streak directly there after. Hey, if the anti-jinx works, I will keep using it
Last year, the post-injury Pressly was never the same guy. Would be huge to have him regain the form that was so dominant in '19 pre-injury. Losing him was a huge blow to the team last year and lead to more work for Smith/Harris/Osuna which came back to haunt the 'stros in the WS.
Good getting a win against a divisional opponent who's ahead of you in the standings who sweept your ass previously.
Tucker was solid in his time last season, it's wierd so many people are acting like he's finally contributing after years of sucking. Pressly has been awesome since his first 2 duds. He looks like he's fully regained his form.
Agree. Pressly was not good in any of our 3 series in the playoffs. Osuna wasn't that good either IMO. What's forgotten is, he nearly blew the save in Game 2 vs Tampa. Harris bailed him and the team out. If not, we go to the Trop tied 1-1, and, assuming the Rays win both home games as they did IRL, we lose 3-1, and are stopped in our tracks. He gave up the tying run to LeMahieu in Game 6 vs the Yankees, only to be saved by Altuve's walk off. Harris had to take the overwhelming load of the high leverage innings, and eventually it caught up to him.
I agree wih this. He started his career on an ice cold streak. Had another to syart this year, but was good most of last year. He's hit the ball hard since he's come up. It was only a matter of time before he elevated a few. Granted, this is a smoking hot streak.
Today's game canceled. Oakland player tested positive for Covid. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/08/as-astros-game-postponed-due-to-positive-covid-19-test.html
So now we got a 5 game series with the A’s in Oakland starting 9/7. This season blow. How the hell did Oak get 7 home games and we get 3 to begin with. Now it’s 8 and 2
