    Astros, 9/30

    Pomeranz vs. McCullers.

    Probably our best shot to take one.

    Watching this, the most important game of the year so far, and WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYBODY? Rain this AM? I would think the place would be over flowing if it was snowing!

    Nice first by Pom. Good to see JBJ in CF--if he can only hit.

    Crowds have been small throughout this homestand. First four games averaged 34K, last night over 36K but not 37K.

    McCullers seems to have command of three good pitches--95 mph fast ball, knuckle curve, and changeup. Pom just has the two--no changeup--although sometimes he throws a cut fastball.

    Offense of course can't get off to an early start. Alright Poms. See what you got.

    I don't personally focus too much on how many pitches a pitcher has. Hell sometimes you can screw them up by making them throw different pitches. Look at Osuna for the Jays. He basically had one pitch that worked perfect for him and they tried to add in a couple other pitches and he has been horrible since the All Star break. Poms until his last start has been good for us. If a pitcher has one or two good pitches I'm fine with it as long as he plays well.

    Here's another movie quote: "I've got a bad feeling about this."
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    So far Pom is riding the knuckle curve for all it is worth. 2 innings, 24 pitches to get through Astros first hitters.

    It’s a Saturday afternoon game. People have families and other more important things to attend to.
