    LOL this team and baserunning (both offense and defense)... it's a national disgrace.

    I didn't realize McCann was so bad throwing out base runners.

    We have other options at catcher and he isn't even catching tonight, not to mention Gattis is a DP machine and Hinch doesn't make a change.

    Why is Gattis batting 4th in this game anyway? He's 7th on the team in OPS, 8th in BA and 9th in RBIs. McCann should easily be hitting ahead of him, and if he is, the Astros are probably winning this game right now.

    Who are these other options at catcher than have half the potential of Gattis? And do you suggest Gattis gets 150 ABs on the season or something as a true backup C after an .820+ OPS last year?

    If you're willing to react on that, shouldn't we bench Bregman permanently? Cut Beltran?

    It's gotta be Marwin and Beltran PH for Yuli and Bregman here. RH hitters are 2-58 vs. Kimbrel.

    The comment was made in jest / funny, so I liked it in that sense. If you seriously believe Centeno has anywhere near the potential of Gattis as a major leaguer...then I guess it's clear why we're so far apart in this discussion

    I'm probably the only one here who would swap Gattis for Centeno straight-up. His fluency in Spanish would be a plus too.

    You realize Gattis is slashing 0.463/.533/.692 in the 8th prior to the last at bat?

    I'll take Beltrans veteran knowledge over Gattis no matter what the stats say.
