I actually like the aggression there from Grandal. Unfortunate that the ball was out of the zone, but I like that he’s trying to do damage there instead of taking a walk. There are situations to be patient and there are situations to be aggressive. I also thought he should have been aggressive in the 4th inning when he took a 2-0 pitch right down the middle. He ended up walking in that at bat, but perhaps we score more runs if he puts a charge into one.

The one time you think he'll take all the way and he swings at the fastball up out of the zone.

Was hoping Id get my bases loaded situation for Sheets. But I don't know if the Stros have a lefty in their BP to face him

If bases loaded......hit sheets....takes slider away......ugh

The only problem is that Grandal hasn't really shown the ability to drive the ball. His bat speed isn't all there.
