That ball was hit a L-O-N-G way... IIRC, that is the 3rd hit that has gone over Bourn's head and well on to Tal's hill so far this season?

Interesting point by Bagwell about pitchers not pitching inside. I loved to pitch inside, and that was the way I was taught-jam them and break bats.
-
Adam Bailey matches last years total of 4 HR(in 234 ABs) in his first 32 at bats this year for Lexington.
-
CJ F9; Downs F8; Q 5-3. 2-1 Dads Top 3

Yes indeed.

So who had Lancaster as the only Astros affiliate above 500 (or even at 500)? So far anyways
-
Does Biggio not have any desire to work for the club? Perhaps as a coach or a broadcaster or a second baseman?
-
IIRC, Biggio is coaching his son right now.

And doing it, to large extent, with pitching...
-
Headley is SMOKING the ball tonight...
-
Keuchel's start on milb.tv tonight
-

Right, I knew that. I just didn't think that was a real full-time job, right?
-
Headley 2B off of LF wall; Hawpe 1B to LCF RBI to 2B; Maybin 3F; Gonzalez F8; Johnson infield 1B; Latos FC 5U. 3-1 Dads Bottom 4

Coaching high school baseball is pretty busy year round these days.

Alrightee then.

Hell yes.

That'll boast the confidence there CJ!!!
-
Pence 5-3; Lee 1B to LF; Wallace F7; CJ HR to LF 2 RBIs; Downs 6-3. Knotted at 3. Top 5
-
Big Fucking Johnson!!
-
If the season ended right now:
Royals at Rangers
Yankees at Indians
Fish at Rox
Reds at Phils
I just looked at the standings for the first time in a week. How the fuck are the Rox the best team in baseball?
-
That a boy. If CJ can get going this team's offense might actually be decent.
Biggio's formal relationship to the club is the same as Bagwell's: Special Assistant to the General Manager. Also in this elite group are Doug Brocail, Enos Cabell, Jose Cruz and Julio Linares.
Whether he actually does anything I have no idea. I know Bagwell works with the guys (some listen, some don't) and Brocail and Cabell are reasonably involved in scouting. Linares used to run the Dominican operation; I'm not sure what he does now.
-
sanchy? c'mon jeff.
seeing carlos lee with a glove is like david ortiz with a hat. they just don't fit.

Thanks to OSF!

from what i hear, JD martinez seems like a LF type. is he realistic to think of as the 2013 LF'er?
figueroa settling in.
-
Headley F8; Hawpe Ks; Maybin BB; Gonzalez 5-3. 3-3 Bottom 6
-
Keuchel has K'd both left handers on 3 pitches. 4 groundball outs for the righties.
-
Thanks to OSF!
Liked that, eh!
bagwell = "martinez is a little unorthodox with his setup." funny.
I got a little smirk from the whole 'pot calling kettle' aspect of that as well...
-
Ah, Pence, you were so close to that one...
-
Sanchez 6-3; Pence Ks; Lee Ks. 3-3 Top 7
-
Dang, that one went off of the knee guard and it still felled Q. Ow.

Very nifty play by Wallace!
"Wally," Brandy.
-
I guess I'll have to give in to that and join everyone else, Alkiey.
Nice outing by Figgy.
-
Good effort by Figgy. Hope Melly can shut the door on the Paddies.
-

Alks. Amateur.
Also...Alkpipes.
-

Outstanding. Now bringing in Melancony.

No blacks, no dogs, no Irish.

You jest but just wait until Crane buys the team and that may very well become the official team slogan.
-

Melancony baby.
-
Craney, I meant to say.
-
Weren't expecting that, were you.
-
Lee!!!
-
I can't believe that I just saw Caballo dive for a ball and catch it.
-

You think they'd bring back the 1999 slogan so soon?
-
Johnson works count full before 1B to RCF; Latos FC 3-6 to 3B; Patterson 5F; Venable 1B to CF Melancon on to pitch; Hudson L7 on a great catch by Lee. 3-3 Bottom 7
-
I don't think I've been drinking, but must be. I coulda sworn I saw Carlos lay out for one and save a couple of runs there!!!
-
The cameras didn't even shake.
-
Carly laid out for that one.
-
So the black shit behind that arrow and the 2...is that the tumor?
-
JD 3 run HR 4-0 Hooks
-
JD just smoked one off the batters-eye in Corpus, originally called a 2B but later deemed (appropriately) a 3-run HR.
-
Latos has a pretty nasty changeup coming off that 95mph heat.
-
You think they'd bring back the 1999 slogan so soon?
I think you're confused. One of the team's sponsors in 1999 was Wild Irish Rose, sure, but the team slogan that year was, We're outta this shithole!
-
Latos
Who?
-
Oh man what a tease. Thought Downs had that one
-
Who?
Maty. The other pitchery.
-

Baggy called it.

It turns out I was confused. It was the 2001 slogan.
Also, for the record, I agree with the new policy. What I don't get is why women are allowed.

Email?

They're not; Pam is, erm, grandfathered in.
You really have to appreciate the cold logic that Craney employs, don't you? I can't hire blacks because all of my management are racists.
-
Vicious slide by Downsy.
-
Great. Only Astropipes hitting well and now Downsy is hurty.
-
Ingletty pops his cherry.
-

It never occurred to me she had girlparts.

Like I said, I'm for it. First you give those people jobs, soon they'll be demanding other shit like "food" and "water."
-
I was just sitting here thinking how nice it would be to have a LH bat off the bench do something every now and again and whaddaya know?! Joesie comes through for us.
-
Thisy really must be stoppied.

It's ok if they buy from the company store. You know, like Apple.

Hell no. I'm for indenture.

It takes a special kind of asshole to hit .250 career with bases loaded.

Unknown. Pure speculation.

Wait a fucking second. This IS my Astros, isn't it? Which one of you wants to be my GM?

Give it to Brandy. He's more measured than I am and would be less prone to rash action.
That was one of my favorite SoCal surf punk bands from the early 80s, by the way, Rash Action.
-

Death to all those who would whimper and cry.
-
Brandy, release Carly. Trade Pency to the AL. Trick Pamster into a hydraulic press (it's the only way to kill those things).
-
Fulchy's getting squeezed.
-
bagwell with "fulchy." horrible.
jasony, billy, joesy and bretty bonding on the bench. he just called him myers-ey. even worse.

Holy Cow!!! Great play by Pence!!!
-
Keuchel's start on milb.tv tonight
TV dude calling him KIKE-uhl??!? Really? Am pretty sure its pronounced ketch-ahl.
-
Hell of a play by Pency.
-
Holy crap what a catch by
Spaz Pence!!! Astros OFers putting on a defensive clinic tonight!!!
-
TV dude calling him KIKE-uhl??!? Really? Am pretty sure its pronounced ketch-ahl.
I thought it was KOOK-uhl. Bet you can't guess my nickname for him.
-
Christ, Brandy. Throw a fucking strike. Get a ground ball.
-
First time I've been compelled to respond to a fielding play with Pence!!!
-
Brandy, bait the hydraulic press with Lyony.
-
I thought it was KOOK-uhl. Bet you can't guess my nickname for him.
Kike?

Only had one fly ball out his first outing as well.
-
That's a good winnie, motherfuckers.
Yes it was, Sphinxy.
-

I lucked out and caught one of his CWS games right after we drafted him, but I'd been pronouncing it "Ketchel" before that.
-

I saw one of his games as well, but certainly don't recall it being KIKE-uhl. Shows you what I know...
-
Always enjoyed watching Sutil in the field (had another superb play tonight for the Hooks) - nice to see him having success at the plate so far this season!
-
I can't believe that I just saw Caballo dive for a ball and catch it.
It was a gravity embracing dive. Great catch.
-
"Downsy," Mills? Really?
Just call him Trig if you're bothering to go down that path at all.
-
WTF is DoRay doing on TV?!?!?!
I'm going back to the Trailer Park Boys marathon. God bless Canada.
-

Yeah, this needs to end now.
