Ugh! Out #3 In the 6th eludes Morton and Narvaez clears the bases. Astros lead cut to one run.  Harris in.

Not to mention the grounder right back to Morton was a likely DP, but the out at home was right in front of him.

Doubt that was a dp. It was a chop he had to come in for. I thought he made the correct play.

Called it as the pitcher went into his delivery.

I think the projections that said Bregman could develop 20 HR power might have been underselling the guy just a bit.

The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
