Astros fan checking in.
Kikuchi has looked good so far. I had no idea his stuff was so good and sounds like Astros just asking him to change his pitch selection. He has been a K machine so far, first game I went to he struck out 8 or 9 in a row. Him pitching well has quieted some of the critics of the deal.
I see Loperfido is still striking out like crazy, about half of his Blue Jay at bats so far. That is likely going to stop him from being an everyday big leaguer. He was the same way in the minors.
Is Bloss up with the big club? He's the real value in that tarde, could easily be a middle of the rotation starter under team control for a long time.
