GDT(2/3): Houston Astros @ Toronto Blue Jays - Harrell vs. Morrow - 7:07 PM ET

[JFD]

our whole team other than melky, and 2 non everyday players ( izturis and lind) have hit just as bad a lawrie. Even bautista has been terrible. He only has 6 hits, rasmus 3, edwin 3?, goins 3,

 

lol

[Atothe]

i would love a double play grounder here

[Boxcar]

Even Bautista has been terrible. He only has 6 hits

 

You should probably reassess if you are capable of having an opinion on this.

[Convo]

Goins easily, he's wiffing at too many s*** pitches, Lawrie has good ABs but can't hit atm

 

I'm not entirely sure, at least Goins is getting the ball in the air

[fatcowxlive]

Did they just say Santana threw 20 straight strikes to start the game?

 

Anyone know what the record is?

 

Colon threw 38 strikes 2 years ago breaking Tim Wakefield's record in 1988

[fatcowxlive]

KKKKKKKKK!!!!! Nice!!

[Dylan]

Kkkkkkkkk!

[Atothe]

Another strikeout baby!

It says Colon with 38.

[JFD]

I hope Santana gets shelled this year, the f***ing prick.

 

he wont but Tanaka will.

[G-Snarls]

I know what he means. Bautista is being walked, getting on base, and hitting too many home runs. Too busy to get more total hits.

Beat you to it!

[Orgfiller]

Beat you to it!

 

Nice I saw that.

[kgm1]

with that strike zone Buehrle might throw a NO hitter . Wow it is wide

[Atothe]

I'm gonna need a smoke after this game

[fatcowxlive]

Good throw from Izzy! Lets go offence!!

[Convo]

Izturis GG!

[Dylan]

Lets get the bats going this inning

[o2cui2i]

5 shut out innings from Morrow. time for the offense to get some more runs to put this away.

[Orgfiller]

Villar makes contact! Astros dugout rejoice!

[Flamingweazel]

If morrow keeps pitching well, hutch and mcgowan stay healthy this team can be in contention, but these bats got to get going.

[fatcowxlive]

Just curious, was that also to start the game, or just 38 consecutive strikes? Still incredible, either way.

 

Nope, 5th inning. I'll see if there's any stat like that

[AlexTrebek]

I'm sure its been said, but man, of all games for ESPN to cover they choose VS. Houston on a wednesday in April...

[Daniel Labude]

Bautista has been excellent what are you smoking.

 

Just because 2/3 of his hits are hrs does not mean he has been excellent. He has been ok so far.

It says it started in the 5th inning, not sure about Wakefield's streak though.
