Kluber was named pitcher of the week to nobody’s surprise. Last 2 starts, only 3BB in 14.2IP. First 4 games, 11BB in 15IP. Needless to say, he’s found his location which is bad news for AFC foes

Lol, I was doing a lot of NFL draft texts and it autocorrected.
Been a long time since I've heard that kind of energy at any sporting event. Should be a fun, tense, and stressful game.
Good start so far. Up 1, with 2 men on and nobody out.
I think it looked worse than it actually was just because Odor was running full speed. Wasn't a head on collision like in the old days.
My early takeaway from tonight was that German managed to have a great peripherals line while looking bad. His stuff was all over the place, but 5 baserunners in 5 innings with 6K's is pretty good, but the 2HR isnt. Yanks put runners on and it was an infield hit that broke it all open. 4 more outs and we can put this one in the books. No way I thought we win this one with Greinke facing German, but Greinke was really off.
Hal sucks
Not sure how I feel about Peralta. Stuff is insane, but he starts from a moving base and pulls the ball far too often into the RH batters box. He gave up 3 liners in his 4 batters and thankfully, two were hit right at the batters
Hal sucks
German did enough to keep the game manageable. I'd take 3 runs over 5 innings from my #5 starter against the Astros lineup everyday. The bullpen was stellar yet again and kept the Astros at 3 runs. With Britton and O'Day out the depth of the bullpen has really shined this first month.
Chapman: 10.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 24 K
Green: 17.2 IP, 1.02 ERA, 0.62 WHIP, 18 K
Loaisiga: 17.1 IP, 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 17 K
Luetge: 16.2 IP, 3.78 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 17 K
Cessa: 12.2 IP, 1.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 17 K
King: 11.0 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.73 WHIP, 9 K
O'Day (injured): 9.0 IP, 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9 K
That just leaves Wilson who has looked shaky since coming off the IL (6.2 IP, 5.40 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 6 K) and Nick Nelson who was demoted because he's addicted to throwing his pitches middle-middle (8.1 IP, 9.72 ERA, 1.92 WHIP, 15 K).
Monty came up big against a really bad matchup for him with all those RH bats. Pen was lights out. Stanton is on fire. Hicks with a couple hits. Won 5 straight heading into a Cole start. Tomorrow should be fun
