CarMart good.

Update: Still throwing 99+ 95 pitches in.

E: Jesus, 100 MPH when he's past 100 pitches.

I thought the thing was by the third time hitters had caught onto his deceptive delivery?

Also what an AB by Marwin

As far as I'm aware it's the anti-almost every pitcher but yeah

They showed a graphic of BA against and it was something like .350+ 1st time, .270ish 2nd time, and like .170 third time

Huh, I missed that I guess. Half paying attention to the game

Was that this year or for his career? I feel pretty certain I saw something about how hard he gets hit the third time through the lineup when we first traded for him

e: Also the fact that the third time through the lineup has been coming in the 3rd or 4th inning a lot this year makes the whole thing kinda moot

It was for this year only I think and yes I had the same thought about how short his outings have been

We really needed this kind of outing from a starter not named Keuchel or McCullers.

Maybe we should threaten demotion for the rest of the starters.

Still only the sixth but who the hell came into this game expecting a pitcher's duel between Mike Fiers and Ricky Nolasco? Why do the Astros hit so much better on the road?

Fiers is through 6 with fewer pitches than Nolasco through 5; hopefully this is another game where once we drive the starter away we blow up the bullpen

6 IP no runs 1 hit 2 walks 6 strikeouts on 69 (nice) pitches from Mike loving Fiers, how did the Astros give up 9 runs to this lineup?

If Fiers gets the CGSO I will buy the first person who quotes this an av cert (you don't have to be an Astros fan)

Excludes fans of other AL West teams though :devil:

Can Houston still win but give up at least 2 dingers to Albert? That's the game I want.

He should have taken better PEDs if he wanted more dingers

Albert is proving that it's hard to keep it going once you hit 40. Bonds really was special

Also it doesn't seem likely Pujols gets two more ABs in this game unless it goes to extras or the Angels just blow out the Astros from this point on

Your wallet is safe although its not cool that he had to leave off an error and a hit against the shift

In any case, great outing
