    The old 85 mph fastball right down the middle... Fiers is who he is.

    After giving up a 3 run bomb to a scrub and Marloss' base running bullshit you can't convince me that this team is not trying to suck on purpose.

    Hanging changeup inside-middle to a lefty, it looked like to me.

    Tyson Ross has a 7.52 era which means he sucks but you'd never know with the way this Astros team is batting against him ! It just shows they are really bad right now

    I said on August 1st that trading Aoki at this point in the season was going to be really bad karma...just didn't realize it would be this bad.

    I was told that we would light this pitcher up. Now it's looking like a complete game shutout.

    Well, there in lies the issue... there's not much difference between his changeup and fastball these days.

    Keuchel with similar problems facing him.

    Bats seem to be going through the motions... which happens when bad pitching infects their mindset.

    I'm not really one to say anything, because I'm not there (FIRE HIIINCCH b.s), but a couple of those vets we've been talking up need to have a serious players-only meeting.

    He doesn't cost much, they will role him out every 5th day until he costs too much.
