This Hader guy is pretty good. eta: 6G, 6IP, 1BB, 1H, 3SV, 97 pitches, 71 strikes, .053 OBA, .33 WHIP
No dub for Hunter but glad his effort wasn't completely wasted. Now back to where the series started..... 7 games below. Progress to SIX tomorrow - then, the all elusive FIVE which hasn't happened since *during* the 8-game. Astros had 4 pitchers pitch with ERAs below 3 -- two of those below 1.10 (insert Scola, look okay).
well... missed most of it, caught the last inning T9th... can someone give me the QRD of Brown vs Valdez' showings + any drama involved?
Had Framber pitched similarly his last game at Daikin (or any other game that month), Astros make the playoffs.
They both pitched well. They looked like aces. Hunter looked about as good as you could expect after the injury. No real drama. Framber could've melted down after a passed ball allowed a run but didnt.
