Yeah, we've kinda looked like horsefeathers tonight. Not as much walking goodness as usual. Bryant donged, but next hardest hit ball was from the pitcher. Hammel hasn't looked very good. We've made a couple outs on the base paths. And yet... we are us. And #wearegood
Vince Velasquez just pitched a complete game shut-out, giving up 3 hits, 0 walks, and striking out 16 (16!). Meanwhile, Ken Giles didn't win the closing job in Houston and currently has a 12.27 ERA, after giving up 3 homers in 3.2 IP.
Eh, good call, Joe. High-strikeout right-hander, and his best two pitches are his slider and change-up. Good game to give Jorge a day off. Let him come in and dong against their horrible bullpen.
