    Jake has been great thus far this season. He hits like this and he is a bonafide Kiermaier type out there in CF.

    Fiers and Musgrove have a unique ability to make batters feel like they are taking batting practice.

    I can't complain about 22-11. Astros are making some noise. Hitters up and down the lineup. Bullpen that is solid. DK and LMJ are solid. Morton. eh. But Fiers and Musgrove have been shaky. We need to find at the very least a solid number 3 pitcher and if the price is right another ace level pitcher. I don't see a stretch run with Fiers/Morton/Musgrove as your 3rd best pitchers. McHugh. He's finished as far as I am concerned.

    We are officially the KINGS of hitting into DPs. Have our guys not been told that striking out is the better way to go?

    Hope that was the hit that gets Carlos Correa out of this slump he's been in.

    This lineup is just devastating to go against. They grind out good ABs, put the ball in play, and it goes from 1-9.

    This maybe the first time in all my years on this board where at the moment anyway, I have no issues with any of the position players.

    Sipp, Fiers, Musgrove are another story.
