The Astros Got a Hit Before the 9th Inning… and Other Items

Tired, and so just a few things….

Michael Morse hit his third home run of the season… in cavernous Oakland Coliseum.  Or whatever it is called.  This guy is for real.

Roy Halladay got his ass kicked, and was out of the game after 3 1/3 innings against the Braves.  Yes, he got ten outs.  However, NINE of them were strikeouts.

Tim Lincecum walked SEVEN, but he got the win against the DodgersMatt Kemp is now 0 for 10.  The Giants have to feel pretty good.

The Twins won in the 9th against the Tigers– casting doubt on the Tigers “closing by committee” bullshit.  Phil Coke blew the lead- and the save.  The Twins are 1-1!

Matt Harvey is for real.  He pitched 7 shutout innings and struck out 10!

Brewers closer John Axford didn’t blow a second consecutive save today- because he came in during a non-save situation- and gave up a crapload.  His ERA is now 21.60.  A lot of people thought he’d have it together… not so.

It is official: The Yankees are not good. Vernon Wells did go 3-4 though, so there is that.

The Astros starting pitching has been really good.  Their hitters though- well- they strike out, a lot.  Shut out for the second consecutive day by the Rangers.

Bryce Harper went 2 for 4: Mike Trout went 1 for 5.   Damn it.

As I leave you, it is about 20 minutes to 11pm on the West Coast- and the Cards and D-Backs are tied in the 12th.

Goodnight!
