I'd advise doing so. This kid is tearing it up in his first 3 games.. 17 innings 18 SO's and a 0.90 era (Lower now because he just breezed through another inning) Finally have something to be thankful for as an Astro's fan.  |

| he did ok. Got the win. and still has a 2-1 SO - W ratio. 22 SO 11 W's. and an ERA of 3.00. I'll take that over what most of my pitchers are doing right now. |

| Actually last night he posted an ERA of 7.20 with a 2.20 WHIP. He's not always gonna be perfect right out of the gate, I think he's gonna be solid. |

| I'm not too crazy on Norris. He'll be a solid pitcher in the Majors, but I think you're looking at a middle of the rotation kind of guy who's going to be asked to be a top of the rotation guy. Thoughout the minors, he had success but was always at an age appropriate level if not a bit older than the competition. Despite that, he still had somewhat shaky control and was a bit too HR prone. He'll probably be able to do well for the rest of this season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets hit hard to start off next season when teams have a better scouting report on him plus experience against him. |

Well they still go "Snap, Crackle, Mitch, and Pop!" It just doesn't taste quite as good anymore.  |
