MLB Recap
I have to admit every time I heard Ashby and Blum mention Ventura I automatically thought of Robin Ventura, it is not the same Ventura. Anyways, this game was all about Springer and no one else. No one else helped win this game for the Astros besides Springer, at least you would believe that if you believed the talking heads on the broadcast. I am excited the kid had a great night and encouraged that he is starting to do really well. But, let’s be reasonable, don’t most baseball players have streaks – both good and bad ones? Let’s hope this good one lasts for a while and remember that he is only human when he goes through a bad one again – all the greats had their moments. I wish I could find the video of his post-game interview. He must have talked to Biggio, he gave credit to everyone on the team for setting up the opportunity for RBIs, good pitching, etc. He did not really take any credit for himself. Seems like a nice young man. I wish I could get one of my nieces to date him, that would be awesome!
The Astros pitching did a pretty good job on the night only giving up 2 runs. The bullpen did a nice job – but they still make me nervous when brought in to pitch. The other hitters got 12 hits on the night. Overall, it was a great game by the Astros and hopefully there are more to follow.
Go Coogs!
