    If we are so worried about how many games Yordan plays LF this season, why the hell is he playing LF when Paredes is out and we don’t have the log jam issue? Makes zero sense.

    My guess is Imai is paired with Vazquez, but Yainer had 2 hits last night so Espada felt like he had to get him into the lineup. I don’t really agree with it but that’s the best logic I can come up with.

    Altuves bat speed still looks real good and he’s going to do well if he can keep being selective going forward for the duration of career as he ages here.

    I like how hyped Blum gets when Altuve gets clutch homers/hits amidst the booing on the road. You can tell he almost wants to say, “keep booing, motherf*ckers.”

    Don't know what it is about our #4 hitter but CC hit into another DP.
    At least CWalk picked him up.

    I guess when Paredes returns altuve can slide into the 4 slot.

    You gotta feel pretty small as an ump when a strike gets overturned that blatant.

    I missed the top of the 1st.

    4 hits a walk and just 2 runs?

    How many wrong counts has happened this season and only 8 games in, I think we never had problem of wrong counts in couple decades. Umps wanting AI taking their jobs.

    CC hit into a DP, Walker bailed him out by driving in Yordan.
