Anyone else see the Chris Tillman resemblance? Espec. when pitching at prime. 

Yes I do. 

[Beysbol]

They going to bring Henderson up? Hays and Mountcastle just cannot get anything done. 

[eddie83]

Run McKenna. 

[WillyM]

Stowers with another two-out single.

I'm not disagreeing with either of you, but sometimes I think we all forget--myself included--how good Tillman's curve was.

Tate or Bradish in the 8th? Who do you pick? 

Bradish starts the eighth for sure and just have the bullpen ready at the first sign of trouble. Don't wait for Bradish to allow a baserunner before warming a reliever.  

[eddie83]

Little surprised. I assumed McKenna would come in for defense. 

[oh-wee-ohs]

De ja vu here. Do it again!

Can Urias do it again??

That was first bad call I have seen this ump make.  I was just about to type how consistent he has been even though zone has been tight.

Damn that was nowhere close to being a strike. 

Yeah, and I rarely defend umpires, but other than that call I think he’s had a consistently good strike zone.

He’s not, still pumping in 95 mph. I’d let him go, but have someone ready if anyone gets on.

I think it depends on how quick our half of the inning goes.  If he has a long break then don't send him out.  If we get 3 quick outs then send him out.

I’m sorry. Haha. I thought he was referring to his face. Being serious. I see some resemblance.  

[dtk9119]

So it's 8 9 1. Even if he gets 8 9 does Hyde let him face Altuve again? Probably not..

[LA2]

Stowers looking a lot more relaxed and skilled at the plate today.
