Honestly, where does he belong in this lineup?  Admittedly I'm showing my ignorance here, but isn't there something to batting him/JD/Lee 3-4-5?

While you could argue that he's a man without a good spot other than that he has to be in there, I think that on this team, he is a three. However, he's not your prototypical three, so he probably wouldn't hit there with many other clubs. He's still young, so his proper spot will be a challenge as he is a work in progress.

NOtice that Gamel isn't playing tonight, so Bud dotted Weeks. He had to do it. I'm not watching right now. Did HPU warn the benches after that?

The Piranha has some pop in his bat, but before you get all crazy about it, remember that he hit it off of Randy Wolf.

And Carlos put a charge in one the inning before, but couldn't put it out to left center...  Not sure how much weight your argument has in that regard...

He leads the team in slugging so cleanup wouldn't be ridiculous.  After JD, is only 33 points behind him but after that it is Shreefer 128 points behind him.

  The best lineup would be:

1) Mr. The Altuve
2) Mr. The Altuve
3) Mr. The Altuve
4) JD Martinez
5) Mr. The Altuve
6) Mr. The Altuve
7) Mr. The Altuve
8 ) Mr. The Altuve

Going to ammend it.  Altuve doesn't really have enough speed for the leadoff:

1) Shreefer
2) Mr. The Altuve
3) Mr. The Altuve
4) JD Martinez
5) Mr. The Altuve
6) Mr. The Altuve
7) Mr. The Altuve

Struck out 4 that inning... Ties the HOU record last accomplished by Dotel in the No-No vs. the Yankmes!

ETA: Lucas says it was last done in '04 by Lidge.

Add Norris to the ever growing list of pitchers tied all time for 4 Ks in an inning.  With this catching duo I think an Astros pitcher will have a good shot at 5 this year

The 3-1 pitch to Mr. The Altuve looked like a K.  Alas, looped the 3-2 into left center for a single and his 9th multi-hit game!

I don't recall ever hearing him referred that way.  No reason other than that.

I don't think you can be a pissant if your talent exceeds a certain level. The guys that are pissants are the ones who don't seem like they should be beating you but are anyway. With Biggio you could clearly understand why he was beating you.

Carlos doing a legit job at 1B this year.  Nice grab by the fence with the spin-and-turn spot-on throw to 3B to hold the runner at 2B.

Speaking of J's, Jordan Lyles is dealing in OKC tonight.

Singleton with a monster shot tonight in CC.

Too bad there wasn't something like a TwitVid of the shot over in the BusRide or something...

JD is right. Bud needs a third pitch of the slower variety or something that changes planes if he wants to have success regularly against lineups on the third go round. Otherwise, he's a reliever in waiting.

Who's getting up in the bully? This Brewer lineup is tough. There aren't any real easy outs.

He flashes that curve every once in a while but it's not very good. I don't remember seeing a change but it seems like he was working on a cutter last year that dove to the plate. Not sure I'm remembering completely right though.

Rodriguez finally up in the bully. That's a managerial miscue. Someone should have been up much earlier.

I seem to remember an offspeed pitch in progress last season, but I haven't seen it so far this season. Bud has the tools to be a reliever, and I think that is where he ought to be if this club had real other options for the rotation.

Lyles though 7.  6 Ks, 13 groundouts, 1 fly out and a caught stealing.  Given up 2 hits, 2 BBs and 0 runs.  Should be 4-0 after tonight.

I don't care what he does against subpar AAA bats. I remained unconvinced that he has a high ceiling. I haven't seen it, and I've been looking.

He had a change he showed last year and the year before. I thought it looked pretty good at times last year.

Well shit. It's like I said earlier: get used to it. No situational hitting. Nothing. Bases loaded and nobody out down by five with your three, four and five up and we scratch out one measly run.

Thanks to the almighty for small favors. Loe could have pitched out of it too and would have had JD hit his ball a little harder. The only reason that run scored is that Milwaukee traded a run for an out.

We were talking about Bud, indeed. Lyles is young, but I just don't see a live arm. I see a guy who's going to have to have pinpoint command, and that is very hard to do consistently.

What was this manicuring the mound shit? Deal with it, Parra. A little home cooking.

Twenty-one. 2-1. Give the kid time.

But what does the radar gun say because it doesn't lie? Are you telling me that he's got the potential to be another Greg Maddux? I didn't see that type of command last season. I'm not going to go so far as to predict (and I'm pretty fucking accurate) that he's a AAAA pitcher, but command improvement can be made but it is real hard.

Kottoras is a bit leaky back there, ain't he? Both scored as wild pitches. What's the official scorer got against pitchers? he must be related to the catcher.

Radar gun is saying 93 this season...

And Mayo added this: LINK

"The first time, I saw him in the South Atlantic League [in 2009]," the scout said. "He's settled in now. He's more mature on the mound than I've ever seen him. He can sink, he can cut. His breaking ball was average to plus. His mound presence and confidence, his ability to use his stuff, was the best I've seen him. On Friday, he was a little bit ahead of Shelby Miller."

There was also an article about some excellent improvement in his curve this year, but I can't seem to find it offhand...

That, and dudes 21. Twenty-one. Yes, 2-1!

Maybe so, but the seven spot that Bud allowed hasn't been overcome yet.

We were talking about Bud, indeed.

I remember watching him work extensively on the change in the spring of 2010. The pitch had that weird tumble that a splitter has. It really looked like a pitch that would be successful in time.

I would imagine that even at this level there is something lingering in many young power pitchers or guys who as kids were always power pitchers that makes them very hesitant to employ a change. Getting guys out with slow pitches is for pussies.

I'd be impressed if he was Twenty, 20, 2-0.

I hope that we have something, but if we do, it will be something markedly different than we witnessed last year.

Maybe so, but my philosophy was you get the bastards out any way you can, and you don't look askance at an out pitch, particularly one that you desperately need to face a lineup a third time.

I understand that. But to me he didn't look like a raw phenom who needed to be seasoned a bit. He looked heady enough to be in the show, but was just lacking some oomph. As for that 93, I'll have to see that for myself before I believe it.

Lyles was up to 93 with most of his fastballs according to Henry Sosa who was charting the games.
