After any lopsided win by the Astros, my son always says, “They wasted runs. Now they’re going to lose some games.”
Well the extra runs the Astros scored in their 7-1 victory Friday wouldn’t have helped much in the 10-1 mashing they took last night, but a few of those runs would have helped this afternoon.
Carlos Rodon made the best hitting team in baseball look stupid today, allowing no runs, only one weak hit, while striking out ten and walking none. He was a buzzsaw, or a steamroller, or a dreadnaught, or something like that that you just have to run away from and hope it doesn’t kill you anyway.
