Dexter K Fowler fails to make contact on three straight pitches and takes a seat.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #2 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:10:35 pm »

Altuve reaches on a flub by Zimmerman.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #3 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:11:22 pm »

Altuve swipes 2nd and reaches 3rd on an error.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #4 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:12:38 pm »

Altuve scores on Castro groundout.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:14:51 pm »

Krauss reaches on just his 2nd walk of the spring and Singleton singles to RF.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #6 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:16:27 pm »

With man on 1st and 3rd and 2 out, Hoes flies out to end inning. 1-0 Astros.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #7 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:25:15 pm »

Groundout, whiff, groundout in a perfect 1st for Cosart. All 5 of his pitches in the inning were for strikes.

subnuclear · « **Reply #8 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:26:43 pm »

Adam LaRoche ~~Ryan Zimmerman~~ looking sharp at 1st.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #9 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:30:45 pm »

Marwin reaches on error in top 2nd but Villar hits in to DP. Cosart Ks and it's on to the bottom of the 2nd with Astros still up 1-0.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #10 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:34:43 pm »

8 pitches, 8 strikes as Werth Ks.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:36:21 pm »

Another strike and a FO by Bryce Harper.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:39:23 pm »

This is getting silly--3 straight strikes and Ramos goes down to end the 2nd. 12 Cosart pitches, 12 strikes. What's he been eating today?

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:44:18 pm »

2 straight groundouts by Altuve and Fowler and Castro with final out in T3. Good guys 1-0 entering B3

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:47:51 pm »

LaRoche swings and misses on 3 straight. 15 pitches, 15 strikes and 1 down in B3.

subnuclear · « **Reply #15 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:49:13 pm »

5Ks out of 8 batters for Cosart.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:49:43 pm »

Shit, 3 straight called strikes on Rendon. 18 straight strikes.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #17 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:55:30 pm »

Gameday has kinda crapped out on me though Jordan was retired on a K to end 3rd.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #18 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:00:18 pm »

In T4, Krauss GO and Singleton K's and Hoes ends the inning somehow (Gameday crapout again).

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #19 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:01:07 pm »

Cosart with 21 pitches and 21 strikes (6 whiffs) entering B4.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:02:08 pm »

1-2-3 called strikes versus Span. Utter silliness.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:03:06 pm »

Ditto for Desmond, 27 pitches and 27 strikes. 2 out in B4.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #22 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:05:03 pm »

Zimmerman retired to end the 4th-Gameday failure once again. Cosart perfect through 12 batters with 8 Ks.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #23 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:07:34 pm »

Marwin doubles to lead off 5th with Astros up 1-0.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #24 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:10:10 pm »

Villar swings and misses 3 straight times. 1 out. Ditto for Cosart. 2 out. Fowler ends the frame on a groundout. On to B5.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #25 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:16:34 pm »

Werth flies out to start B5 and Cosart now up to 29 straight strikes.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #26 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:19:22 pm »

3 straight strikes to Bryce Harper. 2 down.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #27 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:20:45 pm »

Retires Ramos for final out of 5th.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #28 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:22:05 pm »

McTaggart tweet:

That's 15 up and 15 down for Cosart with nine strikeouts, four tappers to the mound and two fly balls to center field. Dominating.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #29 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:24:00 pm »

In T6, Ross Detwiler replaces Jordan on the hill for Nats. Altuve grounds out.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #30 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:26:27 pm »

Castro strikes out. 2 down.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #31 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:27:27 pm »

Krauss again walks on 4 straight pitches (Gregorio Petit runs for him). Singleton up, 2 out. Groundout to end T6 with Astros still up 1-0.

Reuben · « **Reply #32 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:29:20 pm »

Cosart almost walked the pitcher in the 3rd, so he's definitely thrown some balls. Gameday I think doesn't really track pitches in ST.

Fuck Gameday.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #34 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:32:58 pm »

Cosart exits: 62 pitches, 41 strikes per McTaggart.

A scout said that's the best they've seen Cosart look -- mound presence, poise, pace.

Nate Colbert · « **Reply #36 on:** March 19, 2014, 06:36:44 pm »

Raul Valdes in for Cosart in B6. Anthony Rendon breaks up no-hitter with 1-out single.

Reuben · « **Reply #37 on:** March 19, 2014, 07:07:27 pm »

Folty just pitched the 7th for the Astros, facing the meat of the Nats' order.

Werth line single to CF
Harper lazy fly to LF
Ramos bloop single to RF
LaRoche hard fly out to CF
Rendon swinging K

FB sat 94 at first, then flashed 96, 97, then strike 3 on Rendon was 99. Offspeed stuff about 86. I'd say he's making an impression.

Btw Jesus Guzman just launched an oppo shot to RF.

Reuben · « **Reply #38 on:** March 19, 2014, 07:14:20 pm »

FUCK. Correa just got HBP on the hand? wrist? Leaving the game. Fuuuuuckk.

Combined 15 strikeouts and just 1 walk for Astros pitchers. Astros win 2 zip.

XRay set for Correa. Initial signs, stength tests, are positive, but he'll be sore at the least

DVR alert: MLB Network is supposed to re-broadcast this game at 11:30. Since this is a MASN telecast and not a CSN Houston telecast, one would think (hope?) it shouldn't be blacked out.
