Free McCann, he had that! Come on windmill.

I spent last night in the arms of a girl from Louisiana!

Seemed legit:

The Big Maple! Good for him, 3 walks and 7 Ks and hitting 100 mph on the last batter. And did it in Canada.

That part continued -- briefly -- when the game started. Wood's first pitch -- a fastball -- missed catcher Sandy Martinez's glove and hit home-plate umpire Jerry Meals squarely in the mask.
That's one way to look at it. Another way would be to ask wtf the catcher was doing on that pitch.

Only 107 6-hit games ever? Wow. Congrats to George!
Only 70 in a 9 inning game.
Rennie Stennett has the only 7 hit 9 inning game.

How much longer do we as a civilization survive on earth? Most predictions ive been reading recently say between 100-200 years left, with most leaning towards 100-125 years

While it’s too early to project the Astros to, say, definitively set the record for best park- and league-adjusted ERA in MLB teamhistory (which they’re currently managing by a wide margin), it’s not too early to compare what the Astros have done to great seasons by individual pitchers. Houston’s 35 starts through Saturday are about where the league leader typically resides at season’s end (that number was 34 last season, but to account for Houston’s entire rotation pitching an equal number of games, it’s easiest to use Houston’s first 35 here). So by way of comparing Houston’s 2018 rotation to the best individual pitchers from last season, the Astros’ starters have a:
- 30.7 percent strikeout rate. Among qualified starters last year, only Chris Sale, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber, and Robbie Ray did better.
- 23.8 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate. Only Sale, Kluber, Scherzer, and Clayton Kershaw did better last season.
- 2.41 ERA. Only Kluber and Kershaw did better.
- .188 batting average allowed. Only Scherzer did better.
- .574 OPS allowed. Only Kluber and Scherzer did better.
- 0.95 WHIP. Only Kluber and Scherzer did better. (Kershaw did the same.)
- Total of 224 innings pitched. No pitcher did better. (Chris Sale led the majors with 214 1/3.)
- Value of 6.1 wins above replacement. Only Sale and Kluber did better.
We're due for a prolonged white hot streak when the bats start to come around.

More troubling managing of a late and close situation. Hinch's biggest weakness.
More shitty relief pitching

I have very tough skin....and loose skin

The 16 Ks were all in innings 2 through 8.

Gerritt forgot to mention the pine tar when talking to Julia about the keys to his great start to the season.
-
1-hitter. Not bad at all. 1st career shutout and 106 on the game score.
-
Descalso bringing the heat but he's no Eric Kratz
-
Combine me!
Pulling a starter with a no hitter is still lame though.
-
8 IP, 16 Ks, and only 102 pitches. What was it called when guys used to throw the whole game and not give up a run?
-
The macarena? Alrighty then
-
So is he on watch now to pull an Ichiro? I've read he wants to hang on for 2,000 rbis though, currently at 1935.

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Such a creepy scene.

Morton also had a plate appearance in Game 7 of the World Series. Unlike McCullers, he was asked by manager A.J. Hinch to stand as far back in the batter’s box as he could and not to swing, a request to which he deadpanned, “But if I don’t swing, I’m going to strike out.” (“I told you so,” Morton quipped to Hinch after Alex Wood got him on three pitches to lead off the ninth inning.)
