That little fucker has cost Astros pitchers who knows how many extra pitches. The runs you could calculate, if you wanted to. Four or five at least, off the top of my head.

This is a 9 inning game, not 7.
Jose, get this train moving
Let’s get to work Astros’ offense. Put good at bats together and get to Morton.
McCullers was a poor choice for this game. Too freaking emotional. Do not know how the rest of the other pitchers works out, but I would have been happier with Greinke or Urquidy. This was my opinion this morning, not at 0-3.
this certainly is his vibe tonight.
I am now available to vacuum your house.
Just start in the living room and fan out from there.
Runs. Score fucking runs. NOW

My concern is as much about the offense as McCullers. The bats better get going or nothing matters.

Ball, swinging strike, called strike, swinging strikeout
He pitched well in relief with a lead in 2017 v NYY. When he started Game 7 in LA, he looked like he does tonight.

Going from two aces to zero has not helped this staff.

Tough pitches.
Grind. Grind. Grind.
CFM dealing.
Man, we should have offered Morton that extra year.
Morton was going home to Tampa. Nothing we could have done.
