    Between that contract, and them just signing Greinke earlier... who is making these decisions there?

    I like that Javier is throwing strikes and secondary pitches.

    Not fast enough. Maybe bench Tucker and put Straw leadoff.

    Nope. He looks like he's in the 7th or 8th inning. He's battling, but he's tired.

    You have to move Correa up in the order right now though...Altuve should be dropped to 6 or 7, along with Bregman.

    that's true. Still can't hurt to practice every so often I'd think though no? Especially with the new extra innings rule.

    Bats really showing up tonight. Bumgarners lost a step but good for us.

    Lol I guess they'd have to sacrifice some.

    Taking strikes in the middle of the plate in hitter's counts with runners on.

    Come on, the Astros have done that a lot less since they stopped using the trash cans.

    I don't know how long his run will last, but Javier is fun to watch.

    I was a little surprised when I just looked...Stros are middle of the pack in both OPS and BA with runners on and RISP, some of the games have been so painful that it clouded my judgement I guess. Or other teams have just been that much worse, dunno.
