Not really his fault. Blame the defensive positioning.

After noticing one of his bat throws last week, it's all I can see now when he is at the plate.

Agree with Gardner.... don't like it when the home plate umpire makes a call on a close check swing like that.

So Devo was the anti Fiers today. 6 outs on 22 pitches. Fiers got 12 outs 105 pitches.

Another odity today is that there hasn't been a groundout induced by the Astros today.

Man, imagine how lethal Altuve could be if he just stood a little closer to the plate.

He rolls over so many driveable outside pitches because he just can't reach them.

How many innings can those bull pen guys go anyway? I don't get it. They were all probably ace starters in high school and college. What is the difference between a 7 inning starter and a 2 inning flamethrower?

Arm conditioning. Just because I ran track in high school doesn't mean I still can.

Beltran with 2 hits on the day. Good stuff. If we can get him to come around, won't be able to stop this lineup

Ok. So they are talking ASG on Root. Let's talk ASG. Let's assume Springer, Altuve and Correa are starters. You are Terry Francona. Do you put them 1, 2, 3 on the card?

I would be hard pressed not to.

As much as he is a perfectionist, if it really was an issue I think he'd correct it.

Cuban Missile.

Don't look now but Yuli is over .290 and 10HR. Not a hole in the entire lineup.

Not good enough Buck, and you probably looked fabulous in those running silks. These guys were all the best at what they do whenw we were studying calculous.
What makes a starter a starter and a flame throwing reliever different?
And the pineapple goes deep!

I really like this line up. Just need the starting pitchers to get 6-7 more regularly so the pen can stay fresh.

I think the more days of rest between throwing sessions results in you being able to throw more innings. The bullpen guys don't get time to fully heal so they can't throw as many innings. Odds of injury increase if you push it too far.

Well, actually I was pretty good. But you lose endurance if you don't train for things.

That being said, if you can't see the reason some people become relievers and some don't I can't help you. Some people can throw 98 for aninning but if they had to pace themselves over 6, it'd be 91/92 and they would lose effectiveness. They don't get 4-5 days off. Some people don't have a third pitch and can't fool hitters but once through the lineup at most. Some people haven't thrown starter innings in 10 years.. They could try and then hurt themselves.

I think we are finally see Gurriel do what he can.

He'll always be streaky because he relies very little on the walk, but he's still not even accumulated a full season's worth of plate appearances in the MLB. He's a 32 year old with a rookie like adjustment taking place. Love his ability to barrel up the ball though.

I'll bet you are. Gig'em dude.
btw,
To be a successful
pitcher you only need to have 2 pitches. A fastball and a not a fastball.

Julia with the face plant. I swear when she got up she actually caught that other runner.
