Stanek is really tough on lefties cause of his splitter.

Oh thank god they shifted Abreu up the middle.

You gotta drive that pitch.

Jose late on 99. I just don't think Stanek is a good matchup for him.

He can just barrel over Altuve if he tries to block the base right?

IIRC Jose has really struggled against Stanek's splitter.

Eloy's seen the ball really well tonight.

That was the pitch for Eloy to destroy.

Nope. I guess he must hate the Astros from his years of being on the Dodgers.

I guess Pollock really hate Gurriel huh?

"TONY RUN ENGEL!" would have been good advice again tonight.

Now watch him walk Tucker.

Is it just me or is Diekman not getting set?

He gave up 2 homers on hanging sliders against the last 2 lefties he faced. I guess a walk is better than that.

Diekman not able to get lefties out...awesome.

Yeah and I think the Sox were linked to him last off-season. I'm guessing they didn't want to give him the 2nd year and Boston did. But they traded for it anyhow lol.

Not sure I like the Diekman vs. Bregman matchup.

We're gonna have to score off Stanek and Pressley. We really haven't had a lot of luck against either of those 2.

Those last 2 balls were both hit at over 100 MPH with xBAs around .500.

Astros defense bailed Valdez out big time.

That change up has mystified Pollock tonight.

It only took 2 ABs for him to get acclimated.

I'll never forget when Correa yelled "If I had hit a home run I'd be running around the bases right now". What a tool.

thanks ump

Kelly's gonna end up walking him after all that shit isn't he?
