Look carefully, the home plate ump has a Cubs jersey on underneath his uniform. That was a very bad call.
nice job posting after he pitched, but how he pitched tonight is besides the point anyway. he did a good job tonight though. he had a 7+era heading into the night. are you telling me you expect to win his starts? let's close this out valverde.
He started the night with a below 1 era against the cubs in his starts against them. So, yeah, I expected a win tonight. Why not wait until his start is over before saying things like "you can't expect to win with..."? He pitched very well tonight.
Actually, he had an ERA of 6.46 heading into tonight. And the Astros had won 5 of the 8 times he had started (62.5%), including the last 3. Their overall winning percentage is 54.3%.
because i don't expect to win games that chris sampson starts, especially against excellent pitchers like dempster. he pitched well tonight and it was a pleasant surprise for me.
you expect us to win games that chris sampson and brian moehler start. which pitchers on our starting staff do you not expect us to win the games that they start? seems like anything less than 162-0 would leave you frustrated. nice job tonight stros. let's finish them off tomorrow.
I will be at the game tomorrow, hopefully it will be a good one. Looking at the stats, it is amazing we are doing as well as we are with 2 starters batting under 200. How long before they send Towles down and is there another catcher to replace him? Also, can we move Bourn out of the leadoff spot? I like his defense and speed, maybe he could bunt for hits some out of the leadoff spot.
I don't expect NOT to win games that those guys start - big difference. I recognize that there is a huge element of luck to the games, and you win plenty of games with bad pitchers and lose plenty of games with great pitchers. Losing a game doesn't frustrate me at all because I recognize that even the really good teams tend to lose about 40% of their games.
"Don't expect not to win" has exactly the same meaning as "expect to win". it's called a double negative.
I'm so glad we won. I F-ing hate a Cub fan. They're so annying at the ballpark. They got real quiet quick when Pence launched that slam.
