Will Old Darvish start or the still-recovering 2.0?
Was McCullers’ arm a fluke last time or can…he…repeat?
We’re gonna find out.

Early lead for the Astros.
How awkward was Gurriel’s at-bat? Nice of him to acknowledge Darvish, but those booos are gonna follow him for awhile.

Checking in from Minnesota. My coworkers dragged me to dinner where there’s no tv. Got on twitter to see Darvish’s spray chart. Yuck. But it looks like McCullers isn’t so hot either. Come in Stros. Come on Bregman, come on Springer!

Is this really happening? I went out to hear some jazz tonight to keep my mind off this, couldn’t sit still and listen, kept checking my phone like some goddamned teenager. Figured I might as well go home and endure it. I envision Stex peeping out between his fingers.
