Yes. More of this Covey please.

How on earth was that not a strike? That frame job...

How do we get this Covey everytime? That fastball is hngh.

96 on the black with movement. Yes.

95 with some good movement on the fastball so far. Fingers crossed.

Some horrible prospect luck this season.

Lambert finishes with 7.0 IP 7 H 1 ER 0 BB 9 SO. Moar of this please.

Some Steele Walker highlights.

Especially after the disaster outing previously. Nice bounce-back.

Wait, are we really running with the theory that people are headhunting Nick Madrigal? Seriously?

Hansen goes 6.0 IP 4 H 1 ER 1 BB 5 SO. Should be done. 103 pitches. 66 for strikes. Solid.

The absence of walks is what I was looking for.

I'm pretty intrigued by Stephens. Could be a solid back-end guy. He should get a shot at some point.

I just made one. Anyone can though right? Why do we get threads asking for game-threads instead of just making one?

Time for your regularly scheduled Giolito optimism/hand-wringing game thread. Is the velocity up? Is the spin rate down? Is the fastball garbage? Where is the curveball? Go Sox?

Stephens with a strong start thus far. 4.0 IP 2 H 1 R 6 SO

That whole rotation. What a team they've built.

This Astros team is just stacked. Aspirations.

Bwahaha. Avi.

Collins HR 11.

JV mowing them down.

This is a good post.
