Would seriously hate to see Fields keep his job while Feliz goes back down. Which means that is probably exactly what happens.
It's so odd. He pitched really well in spring training and was actually pretty good in his first 3 starts of the season. Then all of a sudden the wheels come off. I actually hope he is injured then at least we would know what's wrong with him.
Remember several months ago when we were watching the rockets sniff a hobo's ball sack we just said can't wait until Astros season? Well. Here it is. They are sniff the same sack. How wonderful to be a Houston fan.

Yes, I dislike it...but sometimes, you teach someone a lesson by giving them a taste of their own medicine. I hope the message is loud and clear to Keuchel. STFU and focus on making yourself better.
Keuchel earned his Cy.. his numbers were better than Price. He wasn't a one-year due to his '14. If it's only a two-year run, he's a better version of Lima. I think it's something physical though.. whether injury or last year's workload. One thing for sure, Stros are making it diffcult to watch ESPN and listen to sports talk. Real NFL games are 100+ days away.
As I wrote in my series prediction, I didn't expect this first game to go well. But I predicted LWWW, and I'm sticking with it. Ready for a turnaround game tomorrow with LMC!
Didn't think it would be that ugly, but I figured that would be the toughest game of the series. Price's ERA is extremely deceptive, he's still a beast.
Boston is just on fire. From what the announcers were saying, they scored 13 in each game of a 3 game series playing Oakland. Then, they scored 11 at home against Keuchel and the Astros. Have the Astros ever scored 50 runs in a 4 game stretch before? That's pretty incredible. This may not be the best time for McCullers to make his first start coming back from injury. It wouldn't shock me so much if he gets destroyed out there the way Boston is swinging the bats currently. But, it will be an interesting game to watch for sure to see what happens.
