    Yeah that was a brutal miss by the umpire. He was rolling along (only 3 baserunners to that point), ton of soft contact and ended up laboring hard in that inning after the inarguable K that wasn't. Probably shouldn't have gone out for the next inning, his stuff wasn't there anymore. Easily could have been 6 innings of one run ball if that call is made correctly

    Box score watching makes the outing look far worse than it actually was.

    Too bad that suspension is going to keep him from winning that Cy Young...

    Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser this one time defend the Manager to take out Ronel Blanco. Due to injuries in the Pitching Staff.

    He's the highlight of this season. He has one of the best fastball changeup combos in the league. The pitches look identical until it's almost at the plate.

    He is impressive. BUT impressive Astro pitchers tend to have a short shelf life.
