I don't really think the number of fans in the stands had anything to do with that. But make no mistake, Bud Norris IS a good pitcher. Did you watch the game? Take a look at his career stats. Norris is young and still learning. But the stuff is there. His strikeouts per innings pitched are among the best in the league. This wasn't the first time Norris has retired 15 or so batters in a row. Yes the Astros are bad, but they did shut you down. Be happy to come away with one win. But don't dis' my man Bud.
