Ivan has really improved defensively. His arm is still not great, but not as terrible as it was before the surgery.... You don't wince when he is catching anymore....

I don't know if Pallante can give us 5 innings tonight

He’s our number five. I’ll take what I can get. 4-1 thru 3 is a great start.

Yea he calls a good game also I would rather him catch than pages

Watching Astros broadcast so I mute the sound.
Pallante escapes again.
When he keeps the ball down he’s ok.
Might want to stop pitching to Alvarez???

at least stop the meatballs, center cut, with no movement

[82birds]

26 bounces out to 26
back to the dugout buddy


seriously, getting him out was big

but then he walks Smith

I must have been drunk, hungover, or on one h*lluva bender every time we've played the Astros the last 5 years, because I don't even remember hearing the name Yordan Alvarez until this weekend.

I think I'd be okay with it if Walker could match what Yordan's done in his career.

That would be excellent. Walker is a better runner and fielder and has a better arm. Just has to establish that he is the real thing with the bat.

Only true potential 5-tool player I can remember the Cards having since, what, Beltran? I know TO was projected as one but obviously couldn't hit for sh*t when it came to average.

26 to 26 and one out later Walker to Walker

They had a dry spell for producing all around position play. I have high hopes for Walker.

Pallante pitching well so far. He’s done better than I expected maybe they should replace lehay with dobbins and move lehay back to the pen. I say that because I think lehay would be a force out of the bullpen and just meh in the rotation

[Ozziesfan41]

Gorman out but good at bat he needs to
Hit to all
Fields

but 75 PC in just four innings


Walker extends his hitting streak as Altuve gets in the way.
that was the right fielders ball.

[82birds]

LOL
Walker and Altuve standing side by side at second base.

Beat me to it.
Excellent approach taking the outside pitch the other way.
Keep it up!!

I don’t disagree neither are ideal for the rotation but I think dobbins can be better than either one so if you asked me which one he should replace I would say lehay because I think he could be a way better bullpen arm than pallante I think pallante can be the better 5th starter but just my opinion both are just 5
Inning pitchers

[82birds]

sit altuve
alvarez bats with bases empty
