    Must have stuck a nice needle in that left arm. Goes from throwing 91 to 99 in two weeks. LOL

    Bregman's AB killed us, but I'm sure we'll wake up. Lance just has to hold things down for a while.

    Blown opportunity with the lead off double.

    Yes Ump's call for strike 2 on Bregman was terrible....and might cause the players to expand their strike zone.

    But that was good pitching in the first by Rodon. constant 97-99.

    Bad beginning....

    Rodon was highly effective his last start while averaging 91 mph fastball

    Now he's throwing 98

    Dude beasted us twice already this season

    That ball called a strike against Bregman changed that whole inning. Story of this series for the Astros

    Yeah they were playing back too. Even a grounder like Brantley hit scores Tuve.

    ****ing HPU turned that inning with the bullshit call on Bregman.

    Yordan had a couple of pitches to drive but just missed them.

    Let's ****ing go, Lance. Bring it.

    Yep. But adrenaline runs out quickly and then the energy drops precipitously.

    HPU took the bat out of his hands with that called strike, he had to protect the zone after that instead of being up 2-1 in the count.

    This is going to be a hard game for the Astros unless Rodon suddenly loses his stuff........ he is throwing 98-99 MPH and his stuff is really, really nasty. Best best is to hit mistakes hard and make him throw strikes. Alvarez isn't going to turn on a 99 mph fastball from Rodon.
