    Carl Yastrzemski's grandkid got called up by the G's,.. had his first mlb hit,.. but rounded the base too far and got picked off

    Giants 21-31, fourteen games out,.. going on a 9 game road trip against the,.. worse than us Marlins, worse than us Orioles, and the .500 Mets,.. unless SF dominates, totally turn it around, I expect them to start moving players, when they get back,.. I have never seen the Giants selloff and rebuild, but I think it's coming, hate to say it,.. the only thing worse than a bad team, is a bad team with the same old faces

    I heard Astros Hall of Famer Craig Biggio's son got his first MLB home run the other day. I forget who he plays for.

    Bregman at DH and batting 2nd tonight. HR #16 but nobody on base. Altuve was pulled from his supposed to be one game rehab assignment with more soreness.

    When it rains in Houston it floods. Now Carlos Correa is out for 4-6 weeks with a fractured rib. He sustained the injuries and his home while getting a "message."

    Bregman leading the AL with 17 homers. Also now holds the record for most homeruns in May by any Astro with 12. Surpassing the toy cannon jimmy wynns 11. On pace for 50+ homeruns. Craziness.

    I got to see Wynn play a lot with the Astros. He hit some prodigious shots. Unfortunately he also struck out a lot.

    Almost all power hitters strike in a lot.
