I've got Feldman on my fantasy team. I'd do somebody a favor and trade straight up for Shields. You could have the Astros ace.

jbm · « **Reply #37 on:** April 17, 2014, 09:16:29 pm »

Slow down. It's the Astros he's facing. 6 Ks in a row. Sheesh.

I tuned in just in time to see Carter strike out.

You mean Karter?

jbm · « **Reply #40 on:** April 17, 2014, 09:54:09 pm »

It's over. 5-1 loss. 5 singles. Thought they said 39 Ks in the series.

They will hopefully improve, but their recent performance looks every bit as bad as last year.
