In a recent pre-game interview, Cozart talked about the tradition of long tenures for Reds SS, citing Concepcion and Larkin.

For Cozart, I can't see it.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #3 on:** July 25, 2012, 07:09:35 pm »

Bud strikes out Cozart on three pitches. Moore apparently applied the tag, saving Gonzalez and error.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #4 on:** July 25, 2012, 07:11:22 pm »

Typical Norris. Three pitch strike out. Four pitch walk. All in the same inning.

HPU already moving the strike zone around, in one inning.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2012, 07:30:48 pm »

Yep, very old. But hey, they're a young team with very little talent. I've come to expect them to leave men on third with less than 2 outs.

Bud has some tough luck there. Fists a guy, who gets a dink hit. Then shatters a bat and just a well-placed foul ball.

The Astros don't have an existential crisis - they clearly have an intended end to strive for, they just suck at getting there. That's a much more boring form of crisis than existence before essence.

This team is so fucking terrible in every possible dimension it is impossible to fully comprehend.

MM said earlier that the Astros would be a .500 AAA club. I'd been thinking about that for a while, could they win in the PCL. I don't think so. The more I watch this team play the more I think they would have a worse record than the team that currently plays in OKC.

No, I would much rather have bad players play in the place of competent ones. What the fuck? If there were any catchers in the organization I might like to see them play instead of veterans who literally could only find a job on the Astros. But since there are no catching prospects anywhere near ready where we are.

HOUSTON -- Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow hinted more roster moves could be on the horizon in the next few days, especially when the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline passes. The Astros have been shuffling players between Minor League affiliates in the last few days because of the trades they've made, and some players could be headed to Houston.

On Wednesday, the Astros promoted pitchers Jose Ciserno, Jarred Cosart and Jake Buchanan to Triple-A Oklahoma City from Double-A Corpus Christi and sent pitcher Paul Clemens to Corpus Christi from Oklahoma City.

"I've talked consistently about early August being a checkpoint for us, as far as our prospects' development," he said. "If we believe a prospect has done everything they need to do at that level and we want to challenge them a level ahead, we're going to go ahead and do that over the month of August. We'll be constrained by who's at what level, but there will be some moves."

Luhnow admitted there are some players performing at Triple-A Oklahoma City who deserve a shot to be evaluated at the Major League level in the same fashion some of the current Astros are getting. Any possible roster moves at the Major League level could be impacted by waivers, however.

Luhnow didn't give specific names, but the players on the roster who are currently out of options are pitchers Wesley Wright and Lucas Harrell and outfielders Brian Bogusevic and Jordan Schafer.

"It's one of the tough decisions we're going to need to make in the next week or two because there are some players that we can't move back to Triple-A without risking losing them," Luhnow said. "So you have to decide carefully how you do that. Not only that, but we have constraints here and positional requirements.

"In an ideal match, we would probably mix and match a bigger group and give everybody an opportunity up here to be evaluated in the last two months. There are realistic constraints that prevent us from doing that as much as we'd like to, but we're going to work around those."

Some very nice work here in the game zone, especially Dark Star. Thanks.

I concur about Dark Star. The rest of us are mere mortals. Dark Star is a hai-fucking-ku God.

No, I would much rather have bad players play in the place of competent ones. What the fuck? If there were any catchers in the organization I might like to see them play instead of veterans who literally could only find a job on the Astros. But since there are no catching prospects anywhere near ready where we are.

If he were on the team Quintero would be the best player on the Astros right now.

No shit. What purpose would he have served?

What's the purpose of having a well above average defensive catcher on a baseball team? Fuck, I have no idea.

Well, let me ask you this, genius. What possible good is a .175 hitting catcher who catches like shit? At least Q hit over the Mendoza line. About the only thing that Snyder seems to do well is handle pitchers, but Q was as good or better at that. In the grand scheme of things, I strongly suspect that Snyder's Houston/UH ties gave him the nod over Q at the end of spring training.

On this team?

It seems to me that if the most you can hope for on any given night is 3 runs or less, an above average defensive catcher might be a good thing to have.

My silver lining for this game was this: If Cordero hadn't blown the save, I wouldn't have gotten to see Altuve bat against Chapman. A guy who has a K rate of almost 18/9IP going up against the little man with the supernatural hand-eye who never strikes out. That was a really fun AB to watch, even if it didn't end the way I would've liked.

I'm not sure which Jose Altuve you've been watching.

Baseball by haiku... even with a loss, it's brilliant.
