go team go!
rangers win 5-2
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

It would have been a better game if he didn't waste those 2 ABs with HRs
2 opposite field singles, now that’s where the money is.

saw in that beaven interview
he said his goal is to make it to the big leagues by age 21. also heard him say that on the ticket a little while ago. obviously thats kind of an arbitrary deadline….also would mean he really sped through the system.
anyone think he will get there?

I don't think command of the FB was/is the problem.
More that it was all he threw and they could lock in like crazy. Last start against SF he worked in a good curve and an effective change. Where is that so far this game?

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

What sucks about this game the most is that Holland hasn't been doing that poorly overall
Lots of bloop hits finding holes and then piss poor defense on Young’s part as well as a couple of plays that Andrus usually makes but couldn’t today.

What's with him is he's young, and was called up and dumped into the bullpen without having the opportunity to fine-tune his secondary pitches in AAA.
Now he has fine tune his game on the fly in the majors.
