Currently watching Matt Thompson carve up the Cubs. Sitting 94 with a wicked breaking ball.

Counterpoint: an inning and a third with 7 walks IS a bullpen game.

AJ Alexy walked 7 guys and gave up 4 runs with 0 hits. Please DFA. That is all.

I am disappointed in how old that team is. I was hoping Sprinkle would be in W-S, for instance.

Nice to see Lenyn swinging it. It is early to call for a change at 2b, but I'm a Sosa true believer, so I suspect he may have that job eventually.

Good call. Mena apparently looked good on the backfields. He could come pretty quick. Saw you Sosa prediction on Twitter. I think it is spot on. Any chance Haseley > Sheets?

Woo!

Graveman’s WHIP feels like it should be 3.00

Graveman with no beard.

I get it. He's not Mike Trout, and we all wish he was. But the Robert ire after 4 games is extreme. Guy's hitting .294 with a homer and a double in this game. It's clear he's not seeing the ball well yet and he's still being productive, while playing a good cf. He is the least of their problems.

One problem and it may work itself out, is line up construction. If Anderson and Moncada were hitting 1-2, they would have scored a bunch more runs. Benintendi is fine, but he shouldn't be hitting third. Having the guys who get on base like Moncada and Grandal just ahead of yout 8-9 hitters is sub-optimal.

I was more of a Romy/Lenyn guy before the season, but I think this may be a bit premature. Bregman is hitting .000, and I think teams would take him.

Unbelievable. The strand rate in this series is insane. Houston is headed for serious regression against somebody.

Well, yeah. Buster Posey is a likely HoF. We need a guy like that at every position.

God, what a horrible ab.

Swung at ball 5

What are they swinging at?!

If Sheets were any good, you would pinch hit. He’s not, so why is he on the team?

I would go Santos in the 8th to get his feet wet. His stuff is legit, and they need to find answers in the pen.

Two walks to Chas McCormick in one game is no good.

Huh? Someone explain this pitching change to me.

Tense series. This has felt like the playoffs and it’s game 3

Houston has based their entire pitching staff on the right handed slider. Not a great match up for our guys.

Yikes. Surprised to see Lambert in a tie game.

Robo umps, where are you?!
