Fiers worked a homeless first inning.

PB by Gattis costs a run. Can't blame Fiers for that inning.

Strike zone is all over the place so far today.

Aoki was just about to the fence tracking the ball that hit the roof. I wonder if it had enough to get in to the Crawford Boxes had the roof not gotten in the way.

Through three innings, the Astros look 100 percent uninterested in hitting today. Taking hittable pitches and flailing at garbage.

TV guys just said that in all of his starts so far (this is number 8), Fiers has given up at least 2 homers in each one.

He's averaging one every other inning.  He's actually ahead of his pace for this game.  But you know more are coming.

This shit is fucking putrid.

The scrub just surpassed his career strikeout high in the fifth inning.

Taking strikes and swinging at slop.

We've seen Baur before. His ERA would be like 9 w/o facing Houston this season.

He's never gotten through the 6th inning in his career before either.  Unless the Astros unleash on him, he's making all sorts of career history today.

Are you talking about Bauer last night? Clevinger is pitching today. I'm confused.

Having pitches in his eyes called strikes isn't going to help Altuve not swinging at pitches there.

That call should be overturned.  Longest outing of Clevinger's career...a no-hitter in progress.

A little of both.  As Altuve just legs a double into a single.  The Astros' first hit.

Clevinger's finish on his delivery is terribly annoying. It wouldn't surprise me if it was accompanied by a Monica Seles-esque grunt.

Do you really think it matters?  The Astros have one hit and no runs in the last 10 innings.

It helps when hitters ignore the cookies right down the middle.  And he gets 47 inches off the plate.

And more Springer dick stepping baserunning, down by three runs in the 9th.  Allsome. 
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Of everyone in the stadium Springer should have had the best read on that liner. Instead he's out there jerking back and forth like Hunter Pence having a palsied fit.

This team can't hit. I guess Fiers is gonna have to pitch a shut-out to get a win.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Maybe we should trade for Clevinger.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

A shutout would not have gotten him a win today either.

Good news: Cabrera and Martinez are back for Detroit, and they're lighting up the Rangers. Bad news: they're coming to Houston next.
