Tucker did not take charge.

He can get the run back here.

Good job, Correa.

Ok Graveman can stay.

I like Kendall Graveman. He’s going to make a huge difference for this team as long as he stays healthy.

That was nasty.

Tried to quick pitch him

Why the fuck is he PH his only other catcher???

Nice win.

The Giants are relentless. You can see why they are having a great season.

At least Tucker kept it in play.

I find you amusing. You say they complain and this is your next post.

I noted that also. Chuck is a prize, and I love his posts. Most of them, anyway; I do not love ‘em when he goes after me.

apropos to nothing, Toro was 3-5 last night, but no homers. Good for him.

ETA: I am doing the Express game tonight with Capps, and the Express will honor the Austin Black Senators, which had Willie Wells for a time. I hope I remember to tape the Astros because I want to see Greinke hit. I wanted him to PH last night in the 9th. Wasting Castro for one meaningless PH AB when we have only two catchers was foolish.

I agree that saving your last catcher ( especially when you just traded your emergency catcher) is a cardinal rule.

I’m sure Grienke was begging to do it also.

The only thing I can think of is Estrada was scared.
Scared of making a move that Dusty would not/ has not done.
Scared that Grienke would injure himself hitting or running when he had not had a PA in nearly 2 years.

Yep, the fear of injury is a valid reason to not PH Greinke, but it does not justify burning Castro in a meaningless AB.
