Agreed. I like this order.
-
Fowler ahead of Springer is better. Only three hitters under .200 and Carter and Villar are close.
-
I don't know guys, Singleton is hitting .000. He's not meeting my expectations.

he has not driven in a run either. damn.

Fewest strikeouts on the team. Hasn't been caught stealing and is yet to hit into a double play.

Can't get caught stealing with a o.ooo OBP. Luhnow would have demoted him already if it wasn't for that idiotic $10mm contract that Bud Norris is all sandy-v'd about.

The game is the MLB.tv free game of the day if that matters to you.

Seems a lot less nervous than Springer.

I can't watch the Astros, but I can listen to the games by broadcasting the mlb broadcasts through my phone into the Apple TV through the home stereo, but if I do that Kris can't use the Apple TV. I can pick up radio if it's broadcast through the internet, but I can't get radio on the whole-house stereo otherwise. Clear Channel, which owns Houston's 790 Astros flagship, doesn't broadcast through the internet. Brenham does. I can listen to Astros over the internet anywhere in my house by listening to Brenham AM radio. That's progress.

Lane, now a lefty relief P, was called up today by the Padres, retired all ten Pirates batters he faced tonight, striking out 3.
Good for him!
