Can any bus riders catch us up on Lyles so far this season?
-
I'm really looking forward to this. I don't know why. For the first time in a couple of years, though, I will have a computer in the same room as the game on tv.
I really hope we won't miss Q too much...
-
No HD on FSN tonight?

Cliff notes: had a rough 3 or 4 starts to begin '11, but had a string good starts over his last 5 for OKC.
-

It's HD on DTV
-
No HD on FSN tonight?
HD for me, but I'm in Austin.
-
I like Castro. Too bad he is a Cub.
-
I'm not good at this PBP thing, but Pence got a single in the first, but nothing else happened.
Lyles gets the first 2, but Pence may have helped make a double into a triple, though the scorer gave him the 3 bagger. It leads to a popout for the 3rd out.

Yeah that's a questionable triple
-
Must be my cable or my tv setup ignorance.
-
Lyles sitting 89-91 w/ 13 pitches in B1.
ETA: went with all 4-seamers in B1
-
Yeah that's a questionable triple
Too bad you can't give an error for idiocity.
-
Yeah that's a questionable triple
I may have called it wrong. I know running on Pence's arm isn't a questionable move.
-
Cubtastic play there.
-
I hope Lyles can take advantage of that low strike zone Z is getting.
BTW, Did Cancel spend much time with Lyles in OKC?
-
Nice sprint by Cancel.
-

The Cubs announcers said that he caught games for him in OKC.
-
Wow...close play on Lyles.
-
looked safe.
-
I need to see it again but it sure looked like Lyles was safe.
-
looked safe.
safe on replay.
-
I thought he was safe, but I usually get it wrong.
-
Safe. Fucking cocksucker.
-
but I usually get it wrong.
Sounds like you'd be well suited for a career as a MLB umpire...

Me too.

I really don't think I am that arrogant. My wife might disagree.
-

I say this all the time but these fuckers get paid way too much money to miss routine calls like that as much as they do.
I'll be fascinated to see how much more often Lyles goes to the breaking ball the second time through the lineup.
-
Bourn looked bad in that AB, but nice hit by Clint-ie
-
Lyles through 2: 24 pitches (16 strikes), 84, 87, 88 MPH sliders, 86 MPH cutter, 81 MPH changeup, 78 and 79 MPH curveballs, and 4 four seamers sitting at 89-90.
-
That's a tough error.

Is this a pitch fx thing, or your observations?
-

Yes.
-

Pitch fx (or whatever they have on Gameday). I'm doing good when I can tell the difference between a breaking ball and a change-up...
-
First major league strikeout: Carlos Zambrano. I can live with that (woulda been fine with first major league hit batsman in that situation as well...).
-
Wallace!
-
Nice. Wallace.
-
Ok, the picture in picture of Lyles's parents while he was at bat was cute, as those things go, but let's not do it again.
-
Lyles thru 3: 38 pitches (24 strikes): 2-seam FB 88, 2 4-seam FB 89-90, 6 sliders 85, 3 changeups 81-82; 2 curveballs 76 and 78.
-
Little late to the party on this one, but WAY TO GO WALLACE!
-
More innings like that will make me a big, big fan.
-
9 pitch inning for Lyles.
-
More innings like that will make me a big, big fan.
I tell you what. JD was talking about his pace, how quickly he works. I like that, too.
OK, let's touch this fuck up for some more runs.
-
Was checking out the Basketball game and missed Wallace's homer. Also looks like they changed the error and gave Pence a hit.
-

I was just about to mention his pace is something I'm enjoying.

I judge you for this.

Yes, they did.
-
Lyles B4: 47 pitches (31 strikes), 2 4-seam FBs (89, 91), cutter (89), 4 sliders (84, 86, 86, 86), 2 curveballs (78, 79).
-
Yes, they did.
Had to wait and see if any of those baserunners scored. Didn't want to piss Zambrano off by allowing it to go on his ERA.
-
Carlos needed to get that one.
-
Carlos needed to get that one.
Can't really blame Barmes for the AE flashback. That said, C'mon guys, you gotta get that!!!
-
Fucking Lee fuckety fucking fuck.
-
Fucking HUGE strikeout, rook.
-
Suck it Zambrano.
-
Love the half smile. "See that guys? I made the crazy man snap his bat!"
-
Zambrano's not exactly Bo Jackson, is he?
-
I know I'd go to hell if this opportunity arose, but if Carlos Zambrano walked in front of my car I'd probably gun the engine and hit him.
A cockier son of a bitch I've never seen.
-
Man crush.
Making Carlos Zambrano look like the pile o' shit that he is my new favorite player
-
What, Lyles start on Sunday in SD won't be on TV?!?!? Gotta be kidding me!
-
Lyles had to enjoy Zambrano's little blowup there. Attakid.
-
Zambrano's about due to hit somebody with a pitch.
-

I think you'd be doing the human race a big favor. The greater good and all that.

wallace is 4 for 7 against him.

Lyles B5: 59 pitches (41 strikes), sliders (84, 86), curveballs (75, 76, 76, 77, 78, 79), 4-seam FB (89, 89, 90), changeup (82).
-

i was repeating jd and bill.
-
Just tuned in. Wow, Lyles with only 59 pitches through 5?
-

69 through 6 now. (hehehehehhehhehehehe)
-
Not to put the turd in the punchbowl, but Cancel is completely overmatched. I guess that happens with your 4th string catcher.
-
ATTABOY!

Lyles B6: 69 pitches (47 strikes), 6 4-seam FBs (87, 89, 89, 89, 90, 90), curveball (77), 2 sliders (86, 86), changeup (82).
-
Fast game.
-
Conn, sonar... aspect change on the right fielder... possible Crazy Ivan...
-
Nobody cries yard like Cubfans. Did you hear the "ooooooh" throughout the crowd on that last popup to shallow right?

In fairness to them, Hunter can turn any fly ball into at least a double.
-
7 shutout innings in the books.
-
The kid is showing a lot of composure. No deer in the headlights look, no hesitation, just playing a game.
-
Lyles B7: 84 pitches (57 strikes) 5 changeups (81,81, 81, 82, 83), 4 sliders (85, 85, 86, 86), 2 curveballs (77, 78), 3 4-seam FBs (89, 89, 90), cutter (86).
-
Michaels PR for Lee after the single and will play LF.
MID 8: 1-0
-
Hope if he can finish, Mills lets him.

With this bullpen, it's only prudent.

MID 8: 1-0
I'm trying to count how many years ago I would have questioned taking Lee's bat out at that point in a one run game. Three? Maybe two?
-
Campana looks like somebody just plucked him off of a Pony League field.
-
Lyles gets squeezed on a 3-1 change, Soto doubles on the 3-2 pitch
-
fuck!
-
Well dammit all to hell.
Bunt down 3b line, Lyles throws it into LF, Michaels can't throw the runner out at home.
-
lesson learned.
-
Shit, rookie mistake going to third.
-
baaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
A little excited there I think.
-
For the record I *completely* disagree with pulling him here. Let the kid pitch through this.
-
Well dammit all to hell.
Bunt down 3b line, Lyles throws it into LF, Michaels can't throw the runner out at home.
CJ did a great job holding the runner at third. oh well, lesson learned as BG said
-
he done a good job. hope the bullpen can win it.
-

You mean by sitting on him? It was a nice try.
-

Hope in one hand...
-
Hate to see it end like that. Damn fine first outing though.
-
Hope in one hand...
it's happened before this season.
-
Best first start for an Astro since Carlos Hernandez.
-
You mean by sitting on him? It was a nice try.
yeah that's what i meant. thought they'd hold the runner. looking at the replay it actually seems he could have sat on him longer without it seeming intentional.
-
If he threw to 3rd, chances are the C told him to.
-

if you can't beat 'em, sit on 'em?
-
Bringing in your only lefty for a guy who was obviously going to bunt just doesn't seem like the best bullpen usage.
-
Best first start for an Astro since Carlos Hernandez.
It's probably bad luck to mention that name in this context
-
If he threw to 3rd, chances are the C told him to.
catcher was pointing to 1st.
-
If he threw to 3rd, chances are the C told him to.
Just checked this on the replay. Cancel was clearly pointing to 1b.
-
If he threw to 3rd, chances are the C told him to.
JD thought that at first too, but replays clearly showed the C pointing to first
-

Dude, go sacrifice a chicken, quickly.
-
Dude, go sacrifice a chicken, quickly.
i made chicken for supper, does that count?
-
Crap.
-
I despise this bullpen in its entirety.
-
shit
-
ballgame. JD called it a "bottom of the 9th" type at-bat right before the double with marmol up to pitch. BB calling it another blown save, but is that right?
-
How can that be a blown save? The game was tied when they started working their magic.
-
he'll probably get the next two outs to make sure that all the runs are lyles.
and maybe not.
-
Brown with the rare misstatement, calling that the 14th blown save of the year; game was tied when Lyles departed.
Cancel drops the fucking pop foul.
-
Q get better soon.
-
Brown with the rare misstatement, calling that the 14th blown save of the year; game was tied when Lyles departed.
habit?
-
habit?
Yeah, it's probably pretty hard to avoid the Groundhog Day effect with this group.
-
If you didn't see that one comin', you ain't been watching. -Your 2011 Houston Astros...
-
Yeah, it's probably pretty hard to avoid the Groundhog Day effect with this group.
Indeed, they keep making me want to drop the toaster in the bathtub.
-
FUCK. THIS. BULLPEN.
-
welcome to the astros, jordan lyles
-
FUCK. THIS. BULLPEN.
I'm getting the feeling you don't like this bullpen.
-
welcome to the astros, jordan lyles
pitch complete games and it won't happen to you.
-
IF U NO COMPLETE GAME THAN U LOOSE
-
welcome to the astros, jordan lyles
He may ask to go back to OKC.
-
I think the relief pitchers need to be reminded their job is to get the batters to make outs. Seems they forgot or something.
-
I'm getting the feeling you don't like this bullpen.
They currently exist on a plane with Bob Stoops and Michael Barrett.
-
IBB to .217 Pena to get to 2-3 (now 3-4) .289 Ramirez?!?!? You gotta be kidding me!!!
-

If this "reminder" includes a Code Red style beatdown, we are in agreement.

Well, he had already wasted Escalona earlier in the inning.
-
4 pitchers used. ugh.
-
Well, he had already wasted Escalona earlier in the inning.
and apparently ramirez has been bad with risp
-
4 pitchers used. ugh.
It was like Mills was replaced by Cooper for the inning.
-
okay, boys get him home.
-
Well, he had already wasted Escalona earlier in the inning.
Yep, always walk the dude that's SUCKING at the plate for the RHP RHB matchup with the guy who's got a history of knocking the crap out of the ball in key situations against the Astros... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
-
cj needs to get a hit.
-
Sweet
-
cj needs to get a hit.
That was a seeing eye double aided by a Pence-like route by the RF.
-
cj needs to get a hit.
What is your next wish?
-
close
-
downs needs to give cj competition for the 3b job. get a hit in other words.
-
What is your next wish?
I wish for our entire bullpen to be replaced by MLB-ready pitchers.
-

GODDAMN you're good.

Downs!

God bless the offense for getting Lyles off the hook.

I agree, but am really hating to see Lopez struggling like this. Really like the kid!
-
no win for zambrano. nanny nanny boo boo.
-
yay!!!!!
-
"Nothing cheap about these hits" - well, 2 of 3 ain't all bad.
-
GODDAMN you're good.
TWHS
-
I agree, but am really hating to see Lopez struggling like this. Really like the kid!
Hell, I blame Melancon just by association.
-
well, i'm not going to worry about this one.
-
THANK YOU MATT DOWNS!!!!!
-
TWHS
I just assumed.
-
Anybody up for a safety squeeze?
-
bourn needs to join the hit parade. he's hitless for the night. that's not the way you want to go to the hotel.
-
Astros making Marmolade tonight. Break a marathon streak of 26.2 scoreless innings against him.
-
C'mon Bournie.
-
Anybody up for a safety squeeze?
You can squeeze if you want to. You can leave the Cubs behind.
-
God bless the offense for getting Lyles off the hook.
Preach it brotha! And as an added bonus, no W for Zambrano!
-
bourn needs to join the hit parade. he's hitless for the night. that's not the way you want to go to the hotel.
wtf
-
Maybe this was the blown save that Brown was referring to earlier.
-
bourn!
-
bourn needs to join the hit parade. he's hitless for the night. that's not the way you want to go to the hotel.
Someone get this woman a full-time role doing this.
-
YES!
Fuck the Cubs.
-
Sorry, JD, but you are wrong.
Carlos Zambrano NEVER deserves a win.
-
Fuck the Cubs.
Bears repeating.
-
SWEET BABY BOURN!!!
Came back against Marmol no less. NEVER, EVER, would I have even dreamed this'd happen!
-
Sorry, JD, but you are wrong.
Carlos Zambrano NEVER deserves a win.
correct.
-
:D
-
Bourn just simply outran that throw. It was a perfect pitch to nail a runner.
-
OK, now Pence needs to make the recap writer say something good about you.
-
OK, now Pence needs to make the recap writer say something good about you.
This is getting positively frightening.

I hope I never make you mad at me.
-
ha ha! fuck the cubs
-
i'm scaring myself now.
-
Mr. Marmol, show the jury on the teddy bear where the Astros hurt you.
-
Yes! Yes! Yes!
-
i'm scaring myself now.
Go to the convenience store and buy a Powerball ticket RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
You have 15 minutes.
-
Yes!!
-
Next question: is 4 runs enough with this bullpen?
-
Mr. Marmol, show the jury on the teddy bear where the Astros hurt you.
that is the funniest thing ever.
-
These fucking idiots are booing Marmol. Say, if you want to get rid of him I'll offer you anyone the Astros have in their bullpen to take him off your hands.
-
OutSTANDing! UNBELIEVABLE!
-
Next question: is 4 runs enough with this bullpen?
No. Keep scoring.
-
That was one home run I would NOT want coming my direction in the bleachers, what a freaking laser.
-
sometimes we've got a bit of a herd mentality. Hunter Pence has had a fucking monster May.
-
Holy shit that ball Pence hit was SMOKED!
-
i'm scaring myself now.
You're scaring us all. Keep it up.
-
Go to the convenience store and buy a Powerball ticket RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.
You have 15 minutes.
but then i might not be able to help the boys.
-
Next question: is 4 runs enough with this bullpen?
I'm enjoying the leads when I can.
-
Sep 6 2008 last time Marmol gave up a hr to a rightie.
-
but then i might not be able to help the boys.
Your work here is done.
-
Oh this might be my favorite game of the season.
-
keppinger, i have yet to see you get a hit yet, now's your time.
-
I think the graphic said that Pence was hitting .424 w/risp prior to that at-bat.
-
Your work here is done.
really, with the bullpen you love.
-
i have wallace benched in my fantasy league. i have him benched so he can get a lot of hits. make me regret playing freddie freeman.
-
really, with the bullpen you love.
Even your powers cannot do anything with them.
-
I think the graphic said that Pence was hitting .424 w/risp prior to that at-bat.
It did, and I'm glad nobody said anything about it until after the fact.
-
i've done all i can, it's up to you guys.
-
Another misc. comment re: Lyles start tonight: the wind was blowing out to left...
-
i've done all i can, it's up to you guys.
Go get your money.
-
those astros fans are lucky to be at this game, so far.
-
i like clint at ss. he's pretty good.
-
Stupid hospital TVs. Sounds like a great game. Go
BudGirl Astros!
-
i like clint at ss. he's pretty good.
thinking the same thing.
-
i like clint at ss. he's pretty good.
He plays the position well.

Is it possible that Campanas (sp?) is actually faster than Michael Bourn?

I'd be willing to let you get credit for a save tonight. It's the least I could do for all you've done!!!
-
Great game. Welcome to the majors Lyles. Don't look now but Pence just one off RBI lead in NL.
-
Cubs announcers give the player of the game to Zambrano. He gets a bonus for breaking his bat, I guess.
-
Beating the Psycho and Marmol all in one game. A pretty good night.
-
Cubs announcers give the player of the game to Zambrano. He gets a bonus for breaking his bat, I guess.
they are probably scared not to give him player of the game.

Nice.

Fucking Doray.
Greatness.

i enjoyed Lyles giving all the 2008 draft day pundits a big shitburger to eat after the Astros were given shit for picking him, a player not in the Baseball America top 200, at #38.
-
Fucking Doray.
Tonight's as good a time as any to win a POTWA.

I'm not much into the whole SFN thing... but that one was a no-doubter the second it left the bat...
-
seems like he is.
Per Levine, Astros had clocked him at 3.8 seconds to 1B last night. I think he could be.
-
I'm not much into the whole SFN thing... but that one was a no-doubter the second it left the bat...
Very much like Pence's home run tonight. It's not every day that a guy hits a line drive and you know instantly that it's going to land ten rows up in the outfield seats.
-
Some of his shots are amazing. Not like Stanton's, but in the same league.
-
Per Levine, Astros had clocked him at 3.8 seconds to 1B last night. I think he could be.
That's Willy T speed. May he enjoy as successful a career.
