4-3
Grienke vs. Canning
Well we scored runs, but our big guns still didn't really hit that well. Hopefully Greinke can go 6-7 innings...

The bright spot so far has been the work turned in by our young relievers........Taylor, Blelak, Parades. Abreu still has a ways to go to be as good as he looked last seaason. I am still not impressed with Sneed.

This feels like a good day for Greinke to get a no hitter.

Do you think that's real? If so, Dusty actually went up a few points in my book. |

For Dusty to score points with me, he has to stop giving games aqay by refusing to bunt and making pitching moves that make no sense.

Hopefully, Greinke can give us 6 strong innings. I am surprised to see Tucker hitting cleanup.....This time last week Dusty had him sitting to DH a guy who wasn't with the team long enough to unpack his clothes. |

I would prefer Brantley to DH on his days off. With Springer, Altuve, and Bregman all barely hitting their weight (if that) we need all the help we can get.

Bregman had a solid double. Altuve still looks out of it. His lack of patience at the plate is making him look terrible. He is striking out and hitting weak ground balls. |

Altuve is completely over swinging.

Altuve is completely over swinging. And George is trying to hack everything to left. |
