End of six…9-0 Astros
A 5 pitch inning!
That’s ridiculous, I believe it all, but it’s ridiculous.
We could probably get to Ty Cobb in a couple of moves.

At the Stretch…9-0 Astros
Instead of 7 Steps of Kevin Bacon, it should be…who? Nolan Ryan? Phil Niekro?
Jamie Moyer?

I’m happy the Astros hammered Wainwright. With an ERA over 7, it has to be getting close to the point where the Cardinals encourage him to retire now, instead of waiting until the season is over.
Pitch count so far:
JP France (thru 1st out in Bot 7th) 69;
Cardinals 160 - Wainwright 58; Matz 64; Woodford 38
He’s had a terrific career. I’m sure it’s hard for Cardinal fans to watch him now.

That’s strikingly amazing.
Why?
The whole team is awful.
And immediately after that little gem, France labors
France is gassed, but he escapes the 7th.
Through eight, still 9-0, but that’s gotta be it for France.
What a game he pitched.
