[Official] Indians @ Astros

Altuve is a hitting machine, not gonna happen much because of him alone.

 

Well, we've now gone hitless through 5 innings in 2 / 3 games, and have scored a total of 2 runs in 23 innings...Maybe the reaction is a bit hasty, but gotta agree this is a pretty pathetic start from a batting standpoint.

 

Indians playing small ball--and its working. I haven't seen an Astro lay a single bunt..why not try to be disruptive? Do something different for the love of baseball gods!!!

 

Can we fast-forward to after memorial day yet?

 

Uh oh.

 

No hitter on the horizon?

 

yup. at this point I don't care if we lose..I just don't want to be no-hit. So embarrassing.

 

33 Ks and 7 hits for the Astros so far this season, nice.

First no hitter in the city of Houston since DK in 93?

 

Our longest out this season! Nice.

8 KKKKKKKK

 

Yea....

BUT

By their way of thinking, Dallas Keuchel is going to set a record this year by not allowing a run all season long. He is on pace to throw over 300 innings of shutout ball, outstanding

Or maybe, just maybe, like tellit is saying, this is simply game 3 of a 162

 

being no-hit in game 3 of the year is embarrassing and hopefully doesn't bode for anything in the future but it's hard not to think otherwise. But I agree, in the grand scheme, it means nothing.

 

ANY team and ANY year you could find a 3 game stretch where the team looks awful, and a stretch where they look like the best team ever

Just when it happens at the beginning of a season it stands out

Great thing about baseball is that it is an everyday game, and a long season.

We will be a top 5 offense when it comes to total runs scored, but there is going to be a lot of ups and downs with a team built like ours is

AND....we have faced three NASTY starters so far

 

Lowrie!

 

Thanks Jed

 

Thank you Lowrie!! Saved us from the embarrassment

 

Phew!
