It seems like Greinke gets the most run support. |

Greinke is going for a perfect game. It's the only way to insert himself into the third ACE conversation with Verlander and Cole.

I’m glad Hinch is giving Tucker a start vs a LHP

Would rather have Marisnick in CF and Springer in RF defensively, but that’s not a bad lineup.

I like the lineup as it is and I don't mind seeing Yordan get the day off and he is available to pinch hit if needed. I agree with olpapa......I am glad to see Tucker start against the left-hander. He has shown he can hit them. I am also glad to see Toro back in at third base instead of Diaz, who has been an automatic out of late. Chirinos being in there is also a plus. We sure need this win if Hinch is planning to start Miley tomorrow. |

I know he hasn't had a great opportunity, but, I don't think Straw is in Jake's league as a defensive centerfielder. Jake has proven himself......Straw has not. |

Well, we wouldn’t know because he never plays. Jake is a good defender, but he isn’t in the same league as Kiermaier or Buxton. Buxton is the best I’ve seen since Andruw Jones. |

Toronto not helping us today. NYY up 9-1. The Astros should do like the Yankees and crush opponents against whom they have a huge advantage in terms of starting pitcher. Today, they had Paxton on the hill, and I can’t even pronounce the Jays’ guy. |

If he hasn't gotten it together, he needs to be shut down for the season.......and that includes the post season., |

Whether Yordan plays in the NL games will be determined by how the series is going at the time. I tend to believe he'll play LF and Brantley will play RF.

The only reason Straw hasn’t proven himself as an elite defender in CF in MLB is because he hasn’t been given the opportunity. He sure as heck has proven it in the minor leagues. |
