[Official] Indians @ Astros

Astros pitching looks great through the first two games. Offense, not so much.

 

Dang Thatcher not wastin any time.. a very unPorter like move by Hinch.

 

Is there any other? Who else should bat 3rd?

Its not like Springer is batting 8th... he's batting 2nd, which gives him more AB's per game and multiple chances to drive in Altuve, who's in front of him.

Sure, Valbuena can't be horrific or Matt Dominguez-bad... but they don't expect him to be.

 

Or is it: "Cleveland's pitching looks great through the first two games. Offense, not so much."

 

Some might argue Carter at 3rd.

 

Did I see that stat correctly, Castro hitting .201 against lefties for his career?

 

You could also argue Gattis... but none of them are significantly better than the other... and they all have the potential to hit HR's.

 

Well, he is a lefty... and Castro has had a mediocre BA in almost every season he's played, so yeah.

 

Oh lawd, we need this win tonight, Hinch gonna play the bench tomorrow.

 

Fun while it lasted...

Spoiler

 

Someone tell me the Astros are winning. The Rockets are killing me.

 

I realize Castro can't hit, but didn't realize he was hovering around the Mendoza line against lefties.

 

Good eye Springer, lets go.

 

"Scott Feldman is a 5th starter at best"

 

He's a .243 hitter for his career.... that sort of split, at that low of an average, is not unheard of.

 

Altuve starting the year 1-8 -_-

 

Gattis looked awful tonight.

 

Lot of Cleveland fans in the house tonight? Hearing a lot of cheering at stuff like Astros striking out

 

The city of Houston is such a job hub, every game Ive been to always has a fair amount of visiting team fans. When we were in the NL, the amount of cubs fans was disgusting. Now that we are in the AL, the amount of bandwagon red sox and yankees fan is even more than disgusting.

Welp.... So much for crushing out of the gate like Keuchel wanted us to..

 

What's with the "don't swing and take 2 strikes" approach in the 9th?
