Kinsler up. He strikes out on a check swing on fastball up near his melon.

Tyler Collins bats with two down and the bases empty. He fouls off a few fastballs with a 2-2 count. Walks on a 3-2 pitch after Feliz misses out and then in on consecutive fastballs.

Cabrera steps to the plate. He flies out to Springer to end the inning.

JC is frozen on a 2-2 breaking ball. Two down.

Aoki steps into the box and singles up the middle on a cutter down and in.

Marisnick pinch runs for Aoki.

Action in the Tiger bully. Verlander has thrown 99 pitches.

Springer is up next. Jake steals second on a 2-1 pitch that's a ball. Springer walks on the next pitch.

Astros have runners on 1st and 2nd, and Ausmus makes the move to the bullpen. Hardy comes on to face Reddick.

Romine steals second. Centeno made a pretty nice throw but romine makes a better head first slide to the outside of the bag.

We're in bizarro-land. Fiers' ERA is better than half of the guys who have started games for the Indians.

Oh, you mean the team that just swept the Astros handily?

Watching the Condensed replay of the game this morning, and Jesus Christ Mike Fiers is awful.

Hinch says he's looking better of late. That .435 AVG / .667 SLG the Tigers foisted on him last night don't look so good to me...

And it's not exactly as if a young starter is busting down the door at Fresno or even Corpus.

Armenteros at CC maybe? I don't think he is ready this year, though.

Yes that team. He'd look like a better pitcher with Cleveland's bullpen.

I agree. Closest guy is the still trying to get up to speed Paulino.

How long (how many starts) would it take to get Peacock stretched out to 80-100 pitches?

I'd say maybe the 3rd start could see him approach that

Aside from that... Mrs. Lincoln is kind of relieved that this division is really bad.

The other AL West teams are collectively 1 game over .500 against the rest of baseball.

No, you don't get it. This is a flaming garbage heap of a team that has simply lucked into the best record in baseball.

The Spleen is OWA's Designated Fretter. The Spleen frets so the rest of us can have a little perspective. It's better than someone posting about how awesome and invincible the Astros are, I suppose.

Oh yeah, I'm glad he prompted me to look that up.
