    One batter in and you already see Sanchez going high fastball, low breaker. Beautiful.

    Oh he's having fun now.

    Damn in the playoffs he will be one of our go to relievers. He might have a chance to beat Pressley out for our high leverage middle relief pitcher.

    I was really excited to see Sanchez pitch with our team, and he's looking good so far. McCullers went to the all-star game with just a curve ball, and Sanchez has the same pitch and a pretty decent fastball.

    Sanchez is throwing the ball just like McCullers & Cole. Power, velocity, movement. Another big steal?

    He's also thrown 3 changeups to LHB and gotten a swinging K and a weak ground ball on 2 of them.

    Astros improve Sanchez from day 1.

    Looks like it. Which is great. At first I thought he'd be no better than Mark Sanchez, but glad that he (at least for now) is proving me wrong.

    How awesome would it be for Sanchez to throw a no hitter in his Astros debut?

    Woah, slow down there. I’d be happy if he just gave up less than 3 runs.
