You'd never guess that in a game we set a record for runners left on base that we would have an 11-0 shutout. That's crazy! Another fun win. How about those 13 walks? Man, I'm excited about the team this year. Imai looked great today, which is good to see. It sure is great seeing Walker killing it at the plate this year. Last year I kept worrying he was on the downslide, and never going to be hitting well again. He sure proved my doubts wrong. It's also great to see Loperfido back in our team and hitting so well. This should be a really fun year! Go Stros!
This is for all you old-timers like me. Bringing back a little nostalgia of the Astrodome scoreboard graphics, and the cartoons and animation before the crowd yelled "Charge!" I remember those days.
Glad Imai bounced back so well after that nervy first start. Still a lot of unproven question marks after Brown right now, so any or our starters looking strong is great.
There's been too much banter about hitting coaches and batting proficiency. Stros are 5th in steals !!!
Okay... you missed the humor. But considering your thesis, Astros were 15th in OBP last year, yet 24th in steals. Stros on base hasn't produced SB whether they CS or never tried. The offense is doing everything better this season - and it doesn't seem a fluke.
Great bounce back win. Only negative of the game was the continuing audio difficulties. I do not know if it is SCHN or MLB Extra innings that I watch the games on? But the audio is almost mute then swells and goes back down. I'm Constantly messing with my volume.
Watched this one in person yesterday. Imai's stuff looks really good! And awesome to see the offense humming the way it has been so far this year.
