Not the first two pitches.
Imai stays on for the ninth.
There is not 1 single Astro that should ever see a fastball…except Walker.
Springer Ks on the slider.
Blue Jays closer not available tonight
Move over Hader, there's a new bullpen ace
Blue Jays closer Varland is down after throwing 31 pitches yesterday, so RH sidearmer Tyler Rogers is warming for the save.
All in all, a really well pitched game by the Astros.
Quality start by Javier and good bullpen outing by Imai

Maybe Imai should wear high socks every game? 4 Ks so far.

Maybe he's had indigestion from those damn early dinners the Astros keep forcing him to eat. He ate at 6:30 tonight and his tum-tum was settled down by 9.
5 Ks. Imai goes 9-9 through the order once. Wow
pitching was very good tonight
He just went 96 fastball, 87 slider, 97 fastball on Sanchez. Wow
Imai looking great.
Now let's get some runs.

Prediction: Wade pinch hits for Dezenzo with the bases loaded.

Not if there is a lefty on the mound
Rangers down 4-0 in the 9th. Would be nice to snag another game.
This version of Imai is good stuff. Let's see if he's repeatable or a one game wonder.

So do we blame the scouts for thinking we could sign a terrible $18 million starter but he's actually an outstanding $18 million middle reliever?
Plenty has been said about the intelligence drain from this org so some credit may be due. They resisted the temptation to let one streak convince them to sell the farm under the illusion this team was just another piece or two away once it gets outside of this division. That might be pretty smart actually.
Varsho doesn't look like a 4-hole hitter
perhaps stating the obvious

He's a 6 hitter ideally
Tidy 2:30 game, Chandler approves.
Some good from Javi, more from Imai. What will we get out of Wesneski tomorrow?

Not terrible
Not great
Just as expected
Javier threw a quality start and Imai put in a nice performance. I guess there's that.
Every person who got an at-bat struck out at least once except, ironically, Altuve.
I love you guys giving Varsho a 1-game window to decide he's not cut out to bat cleanup. Guy played for another team until 7 hours ago.

So is most everyone on the team not named Pena or Yordan.
