Stolen Bases: Not the Pirates' Problem
This almost offends me, it's so silly: One of the glaring statistics that jumped out at me with the two teams in the World Series this year was their ability to steal bases. With Andrew McCutchen coming up and Nyjer Morgan's speed, is there going to be pressure from management on the coaches to...
How Long is the Leash on Bourn???
As you all know, the Astros just sent J.R. Towles down to AAA Round Rock due to his ineffectiveness at the plate and brought up Humberto Quintero. The Astros still have at least one player (in my opinion) that they need to make a move on... they need to either send Bourn down to the minors and get...
Houston Astros : 45 Games Complete
With 45 games in the past, I have to say that I'm pretty happy with the way the season is going... especially after seeing how badly the season started off. The Astros currently sit in 3rd place in the NL Central with a 25 and 20 record, just 2.5 games behind the 1st place Cubs. Guess who's...
Michael Bourn : The Worst Leadoff Hitter in Baseball
Stats don't lie... Why he is still hitting 1st is beyond me.
Houston Astros : Roy Oswalt Earns 1st Win
<!-- BEGIN WIDGET --> Finally we get at least a small glimpse of the Roy Oswalt that we have missed so dearly. I'm not going to say that Roy-O was the best that we've ever seen him... but he looked much closer tonight to the Roy-O of old than he has the past 3 games this season. Roy had a...
Houston Astros : Home Opener Recap
Not exactly the ending we all hoped for, but a win is a win; and a win on a walk-off shot is exciting... but I would have rather seen Wandy get the win that he earned after going 7.1 innings of 3 hit ball. You don't get much better than Wandy did tonight. Wandy struck out 6 and didn't walk a...
Houston Astros VS Chicago Cubs : Recap Game 2 of 3
I guess we'll have to jot this one down as a loss to be blamed on the pitching staff. The Astros offense produced as advertised scoring 7 runs behind 12 hits, but unfortunately, the pitching staff couldn't hold the lead. Roy Oswalt, the Astros bone fide Ace of staff had another rough outing going...
