Last night to counter Tanaka the Astros went up there and swung at the first pitch so as to not allow him to delve into his 7 pitch arsenal. They ended up crushing two home runs. Might want to think about that tonight.

Getting a hit early is huge for the team mentally. Lets them know that Arrieta isn't truly unhittable.

This team needs to be patient at the bat, they need to get Arrieta's pitch count up. Don't swing at the first 2 every time, he needs to be our by the 7th.

Missed the meat ball, then gets caught looking for the breaking ball.

You got to capitalize on the bad pitches...

When they get men on the base they need to start stealing. Pressure Arrieta . Make him think about that runner as he is delivering the pitch.

Arrieta definitely has attitude out the wazoo. Hopefully the Bucs knock some of it out of him before it's over.

I guess we'll see.

Was Castro the guy who cried when he thought he was traded or was that some Met player?
