    Wonder if Verlander looking on is asking if we do this kind of thing all the time.

    Hopefully, it will turn out that they got hot too early.

    Especially when you have a relief pitcher in who's not really a ground ball pitcher.

    But in the end... when you have a 1-5 as lethal as this team does... it really doesn't matter what the manager tries to do.

    If those guys are on, they're eventually going to score runs. Your options are to either have a pitcher pitch the game of his life, or you outhit them.

    When the Astros were 42-16, that's pretty much the only way they lost games.

    I am so happy to see the full squad intact. You might get through some scoreless innings against them but they will get to you eventually... just so persistent from 1-9.

    Two runners in scoring position where a sac fly scores one.

    That's what I read it as and will continue to comprehend it as. Liriano is a gas can
