    That's Diaz and Altuve for you. Brain dead with strike zone judgment. Great hitters still mostly. Hate that aspect of their games. Especially with Blancos 24 pitch inning. Barely any pitches taken by our hitters.

    He should be skipped after next off day. Everyone else will still be 5 days rested.

    I would go Blanco 4 IP then Ort/Tayler to bridge the gap to the back of the pen. Abreu/Pressly/Hader.

    Don't let him go thru the lineup a 3rd time.

    I agree. Plus we got to get JV ramped back up starting every 5th day again.

    Brown said pregame that he's the guy who'll go to the pen while they shift to a 5-man rotation for a bit.

    To be fair, Yanier did try to take some pitches that just caught the plate for the first 2 strikes. By then he was over matched.

    They should have him throw a simulated 1st inning before every start.

    I think JV might be allergic to ramps.

    Gamel just walks it off. Tucker’s leg breaks in half.

    The ump is giving every pitch within an inch of the strike zone to Marsh. Let's see how that translates to Blanco. #notholdingmybreath

    Yes, Singleton should get every start against RHP. It doesn’t matter who gets LHP but Caratini or Dubon would be my bet.
