The announcers are talking about a fight between the Astros and Oakland started when Laureano was hit by a pitch and ended up charging the Astros dugout... I know there's some heat between the clubs and also remember that the Astros traded Laureano off to Oakland... have to watch it...

I think they brought him in because it was a bigger lead. They need to get to their 1-3good relievers somehow. I didn't think they were pitching guys 2 days in a row though, I guess I misheard since Williams pitched yesterday. I bet Edwards closes though
They are now pitching them back to back. Altavilla is a good reliever??? :lol: :lol: :lol:
No, Edward is their Good reliever. Williams and Swanson might be, but jury still out. They have to use bad relievers to get to the good ones, and 5 run lead is a decent time to use a bad reliever
Just leave Swanson in.

Actually Vogey is a great guy to have up when the pitcher can't throw strikes.

Maybe they are just trying to escalate Altavilla more. He's getting to the point where he should just be dFA'd though. They have tried for 3-4 years with him and the resigns never change

If Swanson had thrown a normal inning with 15-20 pitches and maybe allowed a base runner I would get it. But 7 pitches, all strikes and you pull him. Just totally over thinking it.

God Vogey and White are just hopeless. 10 months ago they were both on fire.
