    Wow. Lucked out there. Heart of the order needs to have some strong at bats this inning. If Montgomery gets another 10-12 pitch inning with no baserunners, Verlander's going to start feeling that pressure at some point.

    I agree. This inning take some pitches. If he hits all of the corners then so be it.

    Yeah the original approach was to be aggressive. Time to be more patient.

    Thru 3 innings, Montgomery - 31 pitches & JV - 35 pitches.

    I hope Astros make him pitch more this inning and score a run or two

    That's why the blowout yesterday was huge... Neris and Abreu aren't immortal.

    2nd pitch didn't have to be a strike.

    The blonde in red is much more distracting than the banana.

    JV didn't get that outside corner pitch. That was a ball

    That was like the mirror image of the Brantley catch

    This team is cursed when it comes to almost HRs and finding their fielders, but at least we are still in the drivers seat
