Springer getting another day off. I know he’s struggling but still kind of surprising. He sits while two lefties, Reddick and Kemp, get the start against a left handed pitcher.

I wondered about that. He didn't seem real happy.

Had not heard that. Need him in the lineup but as long as it isn’t serious it could be a blessing in disguise. He could use a few days off in a row in my opinion.

Bregman singles to LF
Altuve half swing pop out to shallow RF on the first pitch...looked like he was protecting, just trying to foul one off....on the first pitch

He was swinging when the ball left the pitcher’s hand.

The more I think about it the worse Altuve’s strike out looks. If Gurriel hits the same bouncer after an Altuve walk then it scores a run. That would be a 3-2 lead and still batting.

They might have had the infield in and it score two runs. It completely changed the game. It was there for the taking, just didn't take it.

Hinch postgame:

On Reddick's fuck up...he just got indecisive, not wanting to let the run score by throwing the ball to 2B...

So he just held it and let the run score, I guess. No way to spin that one, just a mental fuck up.

I think an average of 2.2 runs scored per game at the trop.

That may be a tad lower now.
