You were right. Don't think anyone argued with you that he needs another pitch. I thought he threw a great change up to Altuve to get a weak grounder.

I didn't see it, but that's encouraging.

This was always going to happen. He was never going to succeed with only 2 pitches. It's important to realize why it's happening and how he can fix it.

Adding the change and improving his control inside the zone will determine if he ends up as a BP arm, a "stuff" #4, or a TOR guy.
 
That was a 1-0 changeup to Altuve, I'm pretty sure, and he swung and missed. Registered at 86 mph on the TV gun.

Probably should have used that opportunity to practice the pitch so the good offenses wouldn't pound him into the dirt.

Probably so, but I bet flowers had more say so that he did. I'm guessing though... do rookie pitchers usually have freedom like that or do catchers guide them?
 
The extra point makes it 7-0, Houston. Meanwhile, the Braves look horribly overmatched...yeah, I know, thank you Captain Obvious.
 
Sure is refreshing to see a team that strikes out as little as the astros. I'm rooting for them to win the WS for sure.
