    It is good he knows.

    On umps, I'd say they've favored the pitcher lately..especially against LHBs. Tucker and a couple of Rockie hitters were getting some really bad calls off the plate last night.

    Really a strange lineup decision and very “unastrolike” in terms of how they’ve done things in recent years.

    Yeah with no Brantley and Alvarez, we need altuve up top. If toro has to play, he should be bottom 3rd.

    Assuming best case and Verlander and Urquidy do come back healthy, who stays in the rotation?

    1. Verlander
    2. Greinke
    3. McCullers
    4. Framber
    5. Javier

    Bullpen
    1. Bielak?
    2. Urquidy?

    McCullers would be a weapon out of the bullpen though. I

    Too bad Greinke would have to run the bases and risk injury. :)

    Blake has been pretty good too I think. Still waiting for Forrest Whitley...

    McCullers would solve a lot of issues as the team's closer. That would be my call if everyone is healthy.

    He has the stuff and makeup, for sure. I just worry about his control and propensity for high pitch counts putting him perpetually on the brink with little to no safety net. :eek:

    It's a 60 game season and Correa has had enough days off the last few years...play him everyday.
