Sometimes we seem to take things for granted and fail to realize the relevance of what we are experiencing. We begin to expect certain outcomes because that’s what we’re used to seeing. Let us, as Astros fans, be sure we aren’t doing that with Gerrit Cole. We are witnessing something special taking place. Baseball history is being rewritten, right before our eyes.
Cole was admittedly not as sharp last night as he’d like to be, but he still got the victory. Not only did he win the game, but he also pitched seven scoreless innings.
