[Official] Cardinals @ Astros

MarWIN

 

Margo should have bunted there! Oh well...

 

Baboom!

 

Won't look a run in the... but gee, that would have been nice last inning.

 

MarGo thats why you need to swing the bat

 

Gattis is a pile of dookie. My goodness.

 

Hinch told him to swing that time.

 

His instincts are uncanny.

 

Have you looked at how Gattis does as a catcher vs how he does as a strict DH?

Of course you haven't. Do it. I suggest Baseball Reference dot com.

 

Just playing devils advocate...I doubt it's ever been done, nor am I really for it...but what if we only started Kuechel at home? I wonder if the FO has considered this. It probably wouldn't work because his starts would be too erratic, but the sample size isn't small, and maybe we could pencil in an extra Kuechel start at home on a homestand that we otherwise wouldn't have. His ERA this year is 3.18 vs. 5.74. In 2015, it was (obviously) far more palatable at 1.46 v. 3.77.

 

arrghhh Breg so close to his 2nd

 

Tuve! one more

 

The rest of this season is all about the future and Altuve's MVP. I'm not expecting the playoffs but if they miraculously make the playoffs it will be because of the youth and the dominance of Altuve.

 

Thanks Keuchel.

 

Dallas just blows this year.

 

They were just talking about Keuchel when he's in the stretch vs in the windup.

Bases empty: .670 OPS
Men on: .840 OPS

 

Maybe it's just me. Maybe he shouldn't be the DH. Right now he's the designated out.

 

Last year, it was 0.537 OPS vs. 0.647 OPS.

 

I thought it was a good pitch, but ba bye. Keuchelated.

 

If I could tell you what the hell is wrong with him I'd be a rich man.
