    Price getting an expanded strike zone in both innings so far.

    Not sure if same is happening with Keuchel, but definitely Price the last two innings.

    Pierzinski has a poor memory because that roof wasn’t closed in 05.

    Cy-Keuchel dealing makes me feel better about leaving all those runners stranded.

    Only 35 pitches the past 3 innings.

    Am I misrembering? Weren’t the Astros forced to have the roof opened at MMP during the 2005 World Series? Was it for both games?

    Keuchel has retired 11 consecutive, while throwing ~30 total pitches last 3 innings.

    You could have replaced "because that roof wasn't closed in 05" with the word "period" and it would've been even more accurate.

    Pitch count looking a lot more respectable now. Hoping for a quick 6th too.

    Yep. Just read that in Wiki... last night:

    Game 3 was the first World Series game played in the state of Texas. Before the game, it was ruled by Commissioner Bud Selig that the retractable roof would be open at Minute Maid Park, weather permitting. The Astros objected, citing that their record in games with the roof closed was better than with the retractable roof open. Selig's office claimed that the ruling was based on the rules established by Houston and were consistent with how the Astros organization treated the situation all year long, as well as the weather forecasts for that period of time.

    Another reason to hate Bud Stealig.
