Good pitching match-up tonight. Wandy vs. Samardzija. Hope Jeff continues to pitch well. Get that ERA under 3.00.

All right Castro has a chance to get a hit.

Yikes. That's an ugly swing.

Apparently he has terrible numers against Wandy. If that swing was indicative of his usual performance I can see why.

Yet another double play. We are going to lead baseball by the end of the year.

The positioning of that fastball for strike three was almost taller than Altuve.

Speaking of Altuve, I wish our midgets could hit for power every now and then.

The evolution of Jeff Samardzija continues with him going to the 95 mile fastball high to get the K as opposed to go to the split right away.

Has he thrown anything besides a fastball yet?

That's pretty impressive to be able to get three relatively quick outs just using one pitch.

Righty-loaded lineup only works against Wandy Rodriguez?

I saw 3 sliders to Johnson, but did I miss any other non-fastballs. 97 heater down and in was pretty nasty to get the swinging K to end the inning as well.
