If you swing at the low and in curve, it will be a long night.
I can’t argue about how good/bad the at bats are. I’m not watching this on tv. I can say that good pitchers tend to make hitters have bad atbats.
Change is inevitable; progress is optional.
ill agree to that
i hope the hitters adjust to what is clearly Wandy’s out pitch.

Carlos Lee
takes a strike. Fly ball to center, Johnson makes the catch! 1-2-3 inning! Still 1-0 Stros.
Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

Lovely hi-def shot of a typical Astros fan
Nice work, CSN!

Three outs
Now get that run back please.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
That Astros fan is drunk...
I’m merely working on it.

Lee, Rami, Bradley, Sori

Nice ground out by Lee there from Z....
But given the way he has killed Z in the past, and the line being 1hit and 1 run from the homer…I’d like seeing Lee walked the rest of the night.
