Buehler has been susceptible to the HR ball in his last few starts, and with a day game today it will be a little extra harder for him to keep the ball in the park.
He had a strong start against Milwaukee last week but it's not unheard of for him to be gone by the 5th inning.

I think the Astros looked by the Rangers. With a big road trip, they just assumed and got swept at MMP.

The Fiers no-hitter is up there in franchise history in terms of improbable outcomes along with clinching the pennant in ‘05 and the comeback in Anaheim.

McCullers on 10 day DL. I wonder how long Lance will be out?
Osuna added to replace him. If it’s a close game he may see action today.

He has the same right as every other person in this country to work until the allegations are proven. If that happens during the 7th game of the world series with us tied in the bottom of the ninth and the bases are loaded and he is the only pitcher left on the team I would say cut him. Until then twitter and everyone on it can go twist in the wind for all I care. |

Just like I asked about that pedo teenager a few months ago...even if he's guilty, does society have the right to completely ban him from being gainfully employed? Are all jobs taboo for the offender, or just some? If we don't allow offenders to work...are we willing to take care of their needs?

I didn’t care for them bringing in Osuna (very understandable from a baseball standpoint) nor did I initially like the move to the AL. All you can do right now is get over it because the only alternative is to stop watching or supporting the team, and I was never going to do that.

The crime ALLEGED is horrendous, but so is short circuiting the justice system and declaring all accused as guilty before a finding of guilt.
Don't forget the anger, just make sure it's directed at the right folks.

I'm glad to see Kemp in the lineup today. I suspected he might have broken a small bone in his back foot.

Cole got screwed on the 2nd pitch to Dozier that was a strike, not called.
Cole getting hit so far.

Hard to see the ball today at Dodger Stadium.
Maybe Kemp can get on base to lead off.
