    When Cole is on.... he is a Cy Young guy. In his prime and dealing. I wonder if Houston fans were calling him a nibbler in his first games this year as he dialed in his control......
  2. h2oface
    So close to being out. Hit the sandstone thing.
  3. h2oface
    Kepler was right. Inside. Not a strike.
  4. h2oface
    Magill offers little relief.
  5. h2oface
    "Hard to hold a good lineup down for consecutive days...", yet, the Astros seem to be doing it no problem.
  6. h2oface
    Magill is back.

    Just dumb to bring him Pineda out for the 6th. Now what did you accomplish? Nothing. No more outs, and 2 more runs. I get the hope to extend a guy...... but it is so obvious he was finished, and you were still in the game only 3 behind. You didn't save any pitchers, and made it worse.
  8. h2oface
    And to the 5th....... still being no-hit.
  9. h2oface
    OK, that's it....... get the fat guy out of there. No singing today. Don't let this get out of hand.... he is at abut 90 pitches anyway, with his TJ comeback 91 mph fastball arm.
  10. h2oface
    Alright... double play set up now. Bring it home.
  11. h2oface
    ???? no way. springer homers, altuve doubles. twins hitters not even batting! only 5th inning....
  12. h2oface
    That third pitch called strike fastball to Bregman was 6 inches outside.
  13. h2oface
    Cole is really an ace today. 3 hits in both of these games so far off Houston pitching. Talk about a cool down. Meanwhile, Pineda trys so get an 80mph hanging slider down the middle by Springer to open the inning. Damn.

    I never understand how consistently bad becomes OK. Seems like to be consistently bad or wrong is worse than wrong just some of the time. I get the perdictability factor, that one can now try to predict he will be wrong the same way over and over.... but wrong is wrong, and consistently wrong or bad....... I really hate that.

    Finally sitting Gonzalez, who is o-fer Houston (0-14) in 4 games with 4 Ks and a walk. I was hoping things would change after that homer against Baltimore. Maybe this will help, and he comes back on Berrios day with a 4-4 against his old team and finishes the series in style.
  16. h2oface
    Unbelieveable!
  17. h2oface
    Just think what could happen if Sano gets his Ks down!
  18. h2oface
    Definitely constructed for the feast or famine, for sure. I am surprised that the Ks are not happening to that extent yet, and surprisingly almost the lowest in MLB! I sure hope it doesn't mean that it will swing way in the other direction to hit the average/expectation. The batters are also using a pretty low amout of pitches - 3.77/ plate appearance - but I can't find how that ranks. So they could work the count more, but I like swinging at the right pitch, no matter when it comes, way more than not swinging at the meat (Mauer) and then having to fight off pitches, and not great pitches to hit, with 2 strikes. Whatever is happening, is working. So I hope they don't try to fix it. So far, they have a middle of MLB (15/30) OBP at .328 as a team, and lead MLB in OPS (.835) and sluggng (.507), and are 29/30 MLB teams in Ks with only 190!

    I love baseball so much, I want it to be over. I get it, but baseball has never been about making it last less time to me. I love getting it right, and not allowing umpire errors (errors they really didn't want to make anyway, but did and do), but I despise changes that are all about time, and only about time.

    Like the judge that wants the case over, a civil case that the plaintiff waited 2 years to get his day. Some want it to end, and some want the full deal. Fans come from miles to see games, have planned and anticipated the day for months. They come early as they can to watch the field dressed, batting practice, and maybe see their favorite close up, get an autograph, and a bobblehead, and find out where the players will exit after the showers, and wait there too to see them and get a chance to extend the special experience. It might be a young kids first MLB baseball game, something that will make a new fan for life. I get that those that might work the games like it ending quickly, but not me, never me. I think extra innings is the greatest thing that can happen. Drama, more baseball.... I get to be there longer. But I get where you are coming from..... I guess. I loved this game. Time is no issue. Pitcher's duel, or explosive offense.... I love the drama of a close one, a comeback, a shutout, and the comfort of a blowout. Love love love.

    That homer by Adrianza was a no doubter, a bomb, spanked tater.... a Thome Blast! Just what we needed, just what he needed. Hopefully, Odorizzi will inspire Pineda. We need him to really step up.
  22. h2oface
    High A, a level he already saw for a month and a half last year, and he starts like this? Nope. Is he a top prospect. Sure. Anoint him baseball's top prospect right now? No way. Anyway, all that doesn't happen again until mid season, does it?
  23. h2oface
    Haha..... Oudo
  24. h2oface
    ....and Rosario and Polanco! More prospects!!!!!!!
  25. h2oface
    Verlander can go 120.....
