    Almost all of his grounders are hit into the shift or to where the 3B typically plays in a shift.

    Has Castro ever agreed with a called strike?

    Hope Lance can settle down and close out the next two innings.

    Just speaking in general terms. I understand it every once in a while but the consistent ABs in that spot is mind boggling and frustrating.

    At least the umpire is consistent on not calling the high strikes...

    I thought what Crisp did to the ump thurs night was showing the ump up and it was a good call to toss him. Who the hell strikes out and leaves there gear at home plate? Ashby disagrees. What's y'alls opinion?

    Agreed, he has no business at DH against good RHP. He's said as much, look at how much better he hits as a catcher when he's involved in the game.

    What a joke! Gordon & Anderson went to the game. The curse of the Rockets.

    Supposedly Springer isn't injured, so George DH.

    Crisp tossed his bat at the ump... he's lucky he didn't fined and/or suspended.

    It's a wider, but shorter K-zone
