Yeah Vasquez has looked great but Giles is much to young to be grading the off anything this year.Another very early season overreaction: That Ken Giles trade looks terrible for the Astros right now. He has been bad. I expect he will turn it around and be an asset in their bullpen but holy mother of god Vince Velasquez looks like a stud. Complete game shutout with 16 K and 0 BB. Wow.
Velasquez did face an unbelievably bad Padres lineup yesterday, but a CG shutout with 16 Ks and 0 BBs is still really, really impressive. He dominated the NYM in his first game (and faces them in his next start) and they aren't a great offense, so it will be interesting to see him when he goes up against the Cubs, Nats, Giants, etc.Yeah Vasquez has looked great but Giles is much to young to be grading the off anything this year.
Will be interesting to see how Vasquez does after this performance.
Depends on what Giles turns into and what the other young arms in the minors become.Velasquez did face an unbelievably bad Padres lineup yesterday, but a CG shutout with 16 Ks and 0 BBs is still really, really impressive.

I think Giles will be fine. He should be a key part of Houston's pen and will ultimately be closer at some point. If what we are seeing from Velasquez is glimpse into the future though–he won't have many starts this dominant of course, but if he turns into a top of the rotation type of starter–it will end up being a terrible trade for Houston.
I recently booked a trip to Illinois in July and discovered that the Mets are going to be at Wrigley while I am in town. Just bought a ticket to a day game on July 20th. Part of me would like to see Syndergaard pitch that day but I also want to see the Cubs win so...not Syndergaard I hope?Syndergaard Cy Young
I think he is the real deal. Not over 400 real deal but he is going to be a good one. I don't think he is going down and Desmond better start hitting.Rangers fans....Mazara the real deal? Think he stays up or will he go back down at some point this year?
They need to give Trevor May a shot at closing.Fuck you, Kevin Jepsen. 0-3 with 2 blown saves already this year.
His devil ray stink is surfacing hard so far this year.
Yeah, I'd consider it. At least until Perkins comes off the DL. I think they're still looking at eventually using him as a starter. But I'd like his power arm and sharp slider on the back end.They need to give Trevor May a shot at closing.
Yeah, I think he's legit. I don't see him being sent back down. It's fun to watch him at the plate, because he looks like a vet and is only 21 years old. He is solid. It's going to be interesting how the lineup shakes out when Choo comes back. But, I don't see any circumstance where Mazara gets sent back down.Rangers fans....Mazara the real deal? Think he stays up or will he go back down at some point this year?
Desmond is pissing me off at the plate. I don't know if he is just trying too hard or is simply in a funk, but he needs to break out of it.and Desmond better start hitting.
With how Tampa looks this year, there's plenty of stink to go around. Glad some of it has made it's way north.Fuck you, Kevin Jepsen. 0-3 with 2 blown saves already this year.
