2B Jose Altuve R CF Myles Straw R 1B Yuli Gurriel R SS C. Correa R C Jason Castro L RF C. McCormick R 3B Abraham Toro S LF Taylor Jones R DH Robel Garcia S Why hit Straw after Altuve? Altuve gets a hit, Straw then walks Straw gets on base, steals second and Altuve gets a hit, Straw scores. Which most likely of possible positive scenarios is better for the team?

He is hitting Straw after Altuve because he is too stupid to see that he should have them flipped with Straw leading off. He has alway hit Altuve in the lead off spot so to keep Straw there makes it appear he was wrong to have had Altuve there for this long. Altuve is too impatient and undisciplined to be a consistent leadoff hitter. He makes too many one pitch outs.

Could we ever expect Dusty to actually go for a sweep?? Well, since we have two guys with "issues" and two more not with the club, he doesn't have much to pick from, but, using Garcia as DH is the epitome of stupidity. I'd rather let Greinke hit for himself.

In what has become his custom, instead of hitting trying to hit to the opposite side, Jose taps a weak ground ball to third to lead off.

I was told García was great at hitting fastballs. I am not convinced.

Wouldn't surprise me.........They said on the telecast that Dusty was concerned that some of the same guys would not be available for the Oakland series. All of them are being paid to do their jobs. These "twinges" and "discomfort" should not be excuses., Unless they are injured, they should be in the lineup. I realize that being on bereavement and paternity leave is necessary . But, you don't stay on either of them for a week. One of my former players who is a high school coach buried his father in the morning and coached his team in the playoff that night and won a crucial game. I guess I am heartless, but, I have never thought a guy should miss several games on "paternity leave". As far as I know, none of them have given birth. LOL

Should we be worried about the one-dimensional hitting of Altuve? He has completely scrapped hitting to one side of the field.

Apparently, they’ve got Matt Chapman at 3B.

Chance there for Myles but he just hit a weak pop up to RF.

I think it’s safe to say Chas is the POG.

Their only run is on Toro........my guy Chas strikes again to give us 3-l lead. Now, let's hope Zack goes at least 8. We won't see Pressly today.

That had to have been the lamest home run I’ve ever seen. Expected batting average of .040 on that. I can see why Tim scoffs at certain stats.
