Chris Archer was magnificent tonight (a pitching score of an unbelievable 95), blanking the Astros 1-0 on one hit, striking out 11 while walking only one (Altuve, to start the contest). The Astros’ offense was so anemic that they only had one LOBster. Colby Rasmus got the lone hit off of Archer. The sad thing is that McHugh pitched his ass off and deserved better, but Archer was just too good.
The game was played very quickly, in only 2:32, as Archer at least put us out of our misery quickly. The GameZone missed MRaup tonight. Given the HPU’s amazingly inconsistent strike zone, it’s probably better that he missed the game, because he might have punched a wall and broken a hand or something.
The Good Guys entertain the Dojers over the weekend, and we have to face both Kershaw and Greinke. Lord, help us.
