1-0 bottom 1 on a Corey Hart bomb to right. Carlos just lost a popup in the sun for a single. Despite the BRIGHT SUN IN THE FIELD Carlos does not have his glasses on. Smooth.

Is anyone here a retrosheet expert? There must be some way to express the oddity of having a 3 hole hitter with zero homeruns 100+ games into the season (with qualifying at bats)

I'm tuned in for a few minutes, now. I'll see what I can do, but that usually means Happ bounces balls to the plate instead of being up too high.

Looked like Wllace tried to get some loft on that swing, but that just made it a routine pop fly. I kindof miss the Wallace that only got singles and doubles, but hit the ball >1/3 of the time.

I'm just sitting here thinking that the team has two of the team's best three hitters sitting safely on the bench at the moment. If they trade Bourn and Wandy they could lose three quarters of their remaining games. Or more.

In my opinion, if I were scouting, he doesn't have "plus" stuff, at least consistently. His hammer can be alright, but it ain't Wandy's. His heater is 89-92-average. His changeup is really the key pitch for him, because I've seen signs of a good one, but just not often enough.

In fairness to Happ, he's got far better stuff than Maddux, who had a 85 mph heater. However, as far as command goes, you can't put Happ and Maddux in the same sentence, even the same paragraph.

Martinez on deck

BizidyDizidy · « **Reply #115 on:** July 30, 2011, 08:29:47 pm »

Wait, he doesn't have any power either?

Here we go. No pressure, but give us a light at the end of the tunnel

Hate to do this to you, but I noticed he's wearing one of those bracelets.

Crap. Came in for the JD hit, but it seems Alyuve is out? The Astros have no idea how to win a game.

Navin R Johnson · « **Reply #126 on:** July 30, 2011, 08:42:07 pm »

Altuve PH in the 5th and singled and scored. Then was taken out. Can't afford to not get ABs for Matt Downs!!!

OregonStrosFan · « **Reply #127 on:** July 30, 2011, 08:44:25 pm »

I could get used to seeing JD Martinez and THE Altuve in the Astros lineup for a long time to come...

EasTexAstro · « **Reply #128 on:** July 30, 2011, 08:47:18 pm »

Why not see them play? What doyou get from keeping them on te bench? Are you blocking a vet?

Who would? I mean really. I can only think of one, but I am not a person who sits and thinks about managers.

Speaking of "the Brown Treatment," that should be the title of the 2011 Astros DVD.
