Shitstein has even less of an arm now than he did for the Cards.  He needs a full body hump to make the short throw to 1st.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Too bad Jim's missing Pence!!! batting third.
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

WOW. I just saw that. He looks like he's throwing a shotput or something.

Wandy is 100% pitcher, changing eye level, changing speed, inside/outside. He's fun to watch.

It's not list on me that, here in the 5th with 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Pence try to pull the first two pitches, both of which were away.

Hopefully it's not lost on Hunter, that he batted 'em both in by taking a pitch up the middle into RF.

He recovered from those horrible swings to fight off a pitch through the hole in right to score two. And now Giles misplays Kabong's popup to right to put runners on the corners with two down.

Wandy's now up over 80 pitches. Coop better go get him.

Here in the sixth he seems to be throwing more fastballs in situations where he went to the curve earlier. A very nice game so far by Wandy.

Just got home from work and turned on the RR game.  Anybody been listening to JimR?  He sounds good.

Wandy is so far this season the best pitcher on the Astros. And it's not particularly close. Good for him.

Seriously?  Fuck, I've had the radio turned down for awhile.  Been watching the Astros and looking at RR on Gameday.

Yep Jim is doing color with Capps.
