Ausmus “…we have to get back to fastball/curveball. We talked about it on the mound, in the middle of the game, and he actually pitched better after we talked about it. We have to get back to it.”
“A lot of people think, throw more sliders, throw more changeups,” Oswalt said. “Fastball and curveball are what got me here.”

Things started out well enough for Sparky, 1-2-3 and a run by his offense in the first to give him a small cushion. Then the hits came, followed by the runs. Roy struggled just about the entire outing, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings, never looking like the ace he needs to be. Despite a 3-run comeback to tie it, the ‘pen couldn’t hold on and the Astros dropped the opener of this 4-gamer 7-5.
Sorry everyone, didn’t mean to JackAstro* my preview.

The victorious pitcher, shown at actual size
before BP on Wednesday Berkman and Towles had a conversation,
“I wanted him to know that he’s not the only one who’s ever had to go through it, and it definitely will get better,” Berkman said. “And that we, as his teammates, just think the world of him.”
Houston’s Chris Sampson uncorked the first pitch of the game well over Alfonso Soriano and all the way to the backstop Tuesday night.
