    Cole is such a beast. We should win every game we play with this pitching staff. : )

    The NL teams are at a disadvantage in that department; they don't play against Bregman often enough to know they can't get away with that.

    But it works both ways. I tend to think that yesterday's game would have ended up differently had the Astros been more familiar with the Padres pitching staff. Giants and Dodgers beat up on that staff regularly, but that largely because they are so familiar with it.

    Gattis struck out 15.4% of the time last year. This year his K rate is up to 30%.

    Offense (as a team) was sluggish to start last season for sure

    Fisher is on pace to hit 36 triples.

    I know he has 2 HRs so far and we are 5-0 with him, but I had more faith in Beltran in our lineup last season than Marisnik this season.

    So much so the Bregman trade rumors were stirring.

    Definitely Bregman's job to go troll up a slumpbuster after the game. The team needs it.

    Love seeing the old timers getting to celebrate the championship. Been a long time coming.

    That's only 14 hits for the Astros in the last 23 innings. Not quite on the usual pace! May be time to lay down a bunt and surprise those kids from southern Cal.
