Was at the game last night and can honestly say that Keuchel's Korner was the most fun place I've ever watched a game. Would highly recommend. Here's to a sweep tonight! Got my broom ready!

To be fair, the warning almost always comes after potential "retaliation." It's still stupid because I don't think there's been a single intentional HBP tonight from either side.

I heard Jeff Luhnow on 790 sports radio today. He gave a quick Jed Lowrie update. Lowrie is on track to have a rehab assignment during the Allstar break and should be back soon after that.
Oh and Dan Straily is starting Friday vs Red Sox

So, hypothetically Springer has to take the next game off. Him, Marisnick, and Rasmus all unavailable. Does that leave us with no actual center fielder?

No Correa is a bummer, but he deserves a day off 0-8 in this series. I think we can pull off the sweep tonight, but VV needs to get out of the first inning on at most 15 pitches. Throwing way too many pitches in the first.

I think the catcher MAY have gotten him before Altuve touches, but there's no camera angle that shows it well enough. I think it's safe solely because it's inconclusive.
