They will not telegraph a single thing. I can't imagine sitting him just in case. They'll only pull him if he gets dealt.

Yuli lines one up the middle, giving him a 17 game hitting streak
Pause while the grounds crew repairs a huge piece of turf that Lindor pulled up

Small break from PBP while I prep dinner

Bieber was pretty much a steal as a 4th round pick in 2016. Lots of teams missed on him.
-
Jesus, three watched third strikes. The ones to Bregman (why is your biggest slump hitting 4th?) and Correa were particularly egregious.

Altuve with a 2-out double that moves his average to .301.

That one is a hard one to see. At first I thought it was a trap, and then on the review it looked like maybe it bounced off the glove, not the grass.
Call stands! Good break for the good guys.

Came back at .238.
It was equally incredible that his average dipped so low.

Verlander strikes out the side, all with the put away slider, to go to 9K on the night.
End 5, 2-0 Astros.

Aside - I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the adjustments Verlander has made to cut down the homers. Going much more to the breaking stuff and it's working.

Yup, that was the same pitch he lined into the bullpen on Sunday (?).

Harris, who for the most part has been good, always makes me nervous.
-
Forgot to activate secret agent mode on Clippard.

Forgot to activate secret agent mode on Clippard.
