    Jake Marisnick with another well-deserved start. We should start a write-in campaign to get him into the all-star game.

    As long as Hinch is coach and Jake is on the team, your going to keep seeing it.

    If you dont want to see him, start a campaign to get him on another team.

    The Stros are 21-10 when he starts, 14-6 when he doesn't (but plays), and 11-9 when he does not see the field. I'd be curious to know what the runs allowed & runs scored are with him on the field vs off it.

    Lol. Maybe it's because he plays when extreme fly ball pitchers pitch like keuchel...he should stick with the check swing

    "With the check swing he's money." -- Blum

    I wasn't making any value judgments about him, I was just intrigued by my cursory look at those numbers.

    I have always loved watching Alex Gordon play the field. I'm trying to think of a better defensive LFer (other than Jake of course).
