    Royals Take Early Lead On Astros - Game 3

    Lorenzo Cain hits a blast into the Crawford Boxes in left field. Keuchel seems a little rattled after that.

    Got away with just one run in the 4th inning, but needed 33 pitches to do it. Control is not too hot. Umpire practically gave him a low pitch that lead to a strikeout.

    Volquez is owning the Astros. 6 K's in 4 innings.

    Astros finally get to Volquez. 2-1 bottom of the 5th on a Jason Castro single.

    Like I said before this LDS round...Astros are going to the World Series.

    Best pitching of the four AL teams.

    I'd love nothing more to believe you LT, but even if we get by KC, Texas has owned us this year.

    Another Hinch trip to the mound. Another decision to leave Keuchel out there. Get 'em Dallas!

    Texas has the WORST pitching of all the playoff teams. I would place more weight on that in a 4-of-7 series than regular season dominance. One move that I would make though is stick Kazmir in the bullpen and make Fiers the fourth stater, but that aside, nothing wrong with Beard, McHugh, McCullers vs. the remaining AL teams.

    You're right about putting Fiers in. I just don't know if our bullpen can hold these leads like they did at the first of the season. Now if Chris Carter can kep hitting home runs like the one he just did, we might not have to worry too much.

    Rasmus has been a monster in this series. He'll get a good contract from some team in the offseason.

    Dallas Keuchel is such a class act. Astros need to get him signed long term.

    I still like the pitching matchup in Houston's favor for Game 5 and I'd guess that Keuchel could be next in line in relief if necessary, which could make pen irrelevant.

    Why should they? McHugh > Cueto and Beard available in relief. Can't definitively say Royals win, key is young Astros having amnesia. Can't dwell on Game 4, nothing can be done about it now and it will be forgotten with a win here.

    Disastros....

    note to self: never put a pitcher who looks as goofy as Harris on the mound when it really matters.....

    only thing higher than his IQ is his era

    I agree that if there is any starter on the Astros roster that I would want on the road, it would be McHugh. He can potentially give them 7-8 innings. I actually think the Astros will pull this game out. My problem is it does not matter how good their starters are, if they go against the Rangers or Blue Jays in a 7 game series. Eventually you have to go to your bullpen, and they will be the gasoline added to the fire of either of those lineups they would go up against. On top of that, if they play the Rangers, they lose some of their home field because Texas fans travel well. The bullpen will have to be addressed this off season. Goodbye Qualls, Perez, and possibly Fields. Need to find a true fireball closer, and put Gregerson back in the 8th inning.
