Game 23 Thread, August 18, 2020, 2:10 CDT. Rockies @ Astros

What an amazing run for the pitching staff these last five days. The opposition has not score more than two runs in any of the last five games, all Astros wins. That with a starting rotation including names like Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier, Brandon Bielak. Whaaaaat?

And relievers like Andre Scrubb, Enoli Paredes, Blake Taylor. And who’s this Brooks Raley guy? Did you know he’s an Aggie?

Today the guy that started the streak hopes to extend it. Zack Greinke has been beyond mound artiste in his recent mastery, throwing six pitches almost exactly where he wants, how fast he wants, each almost at will.
