Had command of all his pitches tonight. Good luck beating McCuller's when he has that going with that arm of his.

Impressive, do we have our number 2 guy here??? If his control is under control, we do. The fastball and slider were awesome. Also, the change up, when used was effective.
Best part about this start is his leash should be very long now and spot in the rotation cemented if it wasnt already.
Man, I was down on the 'stros about three years ago. Slowly, I'm coming around. Now, I'm full tilt again. Never firmly believed in The Plan. Now, I do. Love this team.
I'm guessing you'd rather see Bart Ennis out there reporting... whatever your lifestyle choices are, I stand by them.
