    Couldn't hit the ball harder that inning. Could've easily been four hits and no outs.

    I give Musgrove credit. He has kept the team in it since the 1st inning. He looked extremely hittable in that 1st inning.

    last 4 innings have been spectacular for Joe.

    I still think we should have taken him out after the first inning though.

    First inning aside, Musgrove has been excellent. Unfortunately, those runs still count.

    Let's get him off the hook.

    Sticking with him for the last out in the first might boost him. He's reacted like a MLB starter. Hope it carries.

    Time to start bunting people over to second if we can't stay out of double plays with no outs

    No doubt the Astros have the worse DP differential this season, maybe ever.

    We hit into them, and field out of them.

    RW Jr is a little bigger than pops.

    The Rays tried it. Zero runs.

    Not saying that it's not a valid strategy...

    Man, way to pick yourself up off the mat.

    Awesome recovery by Musgrove, got through 6 and gave us a chance to win this.

    The Astros essentially traded striking out 13+ times a game for approximately the same number of GIDPs.

    Really want Marwin to bunt if Aoki is still safe.
