I have this recurring image in my mind if a slightly older, bigger Gunnar wearing pinstripes in the Bronx. I can’t help it…

If he gives a speech that he always wanted to be an Yankee I will roll over in the grave.

Cowser is pressing, in his head, and damaging his confidence is not productive.

Fuji's body language not that of a closer, that's for sure.

Unless his FB has more lateral movement, hitters can time even the 100+ mph

Agreed and he throws the fastball in predictable situations and to hittable spots.

But all you ever hear is how electric his arm is because he touches triple digits.

I'm rooting for him very hard, but there's a reason why he was available for what he was. Major developmental project.

[LA2]

Astros know how to time Fuji's straight heaters.

[O's84]

Fuji, get it together.

[Moose Milligan]

I see that stupid OXY patch on the Astros uniform and all I can think of are those zit wipes from the 80s.

I'm also trying not to have a meltdown about Fujinami.

[Malike]

Fuji looks like he aims his pitches, he doesn't just throw them.

[dtk9119]

Good grief. Come on Fuji

[Moose Milligan]

GODDAMIT.

It's an oil company, Greta Thunberg is not a fan of the Astros.

[Ripken]

We can't count on this guy.  Get ready for 7th inning Perez and 8th inning Baumann.

[LA2]

Nice 2nd strike 100+ FBs on both of those walks--and then he yanked the next pitches to the outside and walked both. A work in progress.

[oriolediehard]

At least Tampa lost.

[Moose Milligan]

Just aim it for the middle of the plate and let's go.

And that makes me like the Astros juuuuuuust a little bit.
