Well those that wanted Wandy not to be traded, he's well on the way to that
he gave up runs, now he should be traded? Okay.
Lowrie! 394'
Altuve is damn near brain dead at times. Another out just given away.
I'm stuck with watching the Giants/FTC. What did he do this time?
I'm having to listen to the audio, but he went to second to try and get Hanigan scrambling back, then went to first, rushed it and bounced it. Downs unable to coral
I think that is a gracious description. I saw it as a complete brain fart. He didnt rush over to tag the runner, just went to step on the base. Just like when he failed to cover last week. His mind was somewhere else.
In more positive Astros news, the minor leagues are 11-1 over the last 3 days
Just think how good they'd've done during that stretch had they had a system that was rated better than 27 of 30...
In February, Law ranked Houston's farm system as the 27th best in the game. Baseball America was more charitable, ranking the Astros at 17th because of the prospects acquired in the Pence and Michael Bourn trades last summer.
"I hear other organizations say you need five to eight drafts to really turn things around,'' Luhnow said. "I feel like there's a lot of pressure to do it in one draft. That's not going to happen. But we are picking first, and this might be the last time we pick first, and there's an opportunity to pick the most elite talent in the country this year. Those opportunities don't come around too often.
Any word on Lee yet?
They are about to have Luhnow on. This week is really bringing them closer to another top pick.
And yeah, I sat Dickey today. I suck.
And now I've lost control of the remote. FML.
Milo DoRay just said strike 3 to Shreefer was in the dirt?
Fernando!!
Well, fuck. 8-2 already, on a night where I'm finally at home. Fanfuckingtastic.And yeah, I sat Dickey today. I suck.
Sweet. Oppo power. Make it a dinger.
For those of us blacked out... what did Fernando!! just do?!?
How could you? Dickey has been on a roll.
Golfed one off maybe the rail above the yellow line on the Boxes. Reviewing it.
Not the best history vs. the Cards. Also, weather concerns.
Makes perfect sense. Dude had only 10+ Ks in his last 2 straight outings and the Co-ards really hit the steM hard last night. I understand completely...
Thanks for the update. Almost makes me feel bad for mocking you as badly as I did about not starting Dickey tonight. Of course I am incapable of remorse, but if I was capable of such I *might* have felt some there...
Over-managing
Weather was supposed to be dicey, killing the knuckler. Didn't happen. Live and learn.
Double, review failed. Still scored 2 though
Thank goodness Mihoba's SnS war doesn't give you extra points for complete games or something. Then you'd've really felt bad... Huh?!?
That's another reason I dropped down to 1 league this year. In that one we all meet and draft live and the rosters are set WEEKLY. Prevents both over- and under-managing...
Hey, it's Votto. Pitch to him, he's due to make an out.
You tease with the fury of someone who is losing in their league.
#3 of 12.
Gee, that was only a foot inside and called a strike.
JD 2 RBI single, Lowrie thrown out at the plate after a throw got away at third
Martinez gets his pitch and singles up the middle to tie. The throw to third is bad and Lowrie is out at the plate trying to score.
CJ hits a tweener that the right fielder muffs, scoring Martinez.Take it, pots.
Dinner about done, and wife is home...
Words to live by.
Ludwick crushes a tying HR off the tracks but Wandy retires the side and it's 9-9. Just like the song.
The one after 9-0-9?
They give so many runs away. FeMart looks like a DH.
Robothal on Astros (Seriously, I can't make shit like this up...): (MLBTR LINK)With several hard-to-trade veterans on the roster in Wandy Rodriguez, Carlos Lee and Brett Myers, the Astros might be well advised to trade second baseman Jose Altuve as a means to replenish their farm system...
Just for grins, anyone care to tell me what the friggin' score is?!? And I know I'm going out on a limb here... but the inning as well?!?
You are out on a limb with that request. Wait until Lyon is through here. 12-9 in the mid 8th.
If you're not hearing specifics, you can be pretty sure that the score is too much to too little in too late an inning.
How me Altuves does it take to shut these guys up?
Well, fuck.
God I hate Coors Field. Wait, what?
God I hate FoxSports/MLB, for blacking me out of my MLB.TV subscription because of a HOU-CIN game that I'm sure was not televised anywhere remotely near NY state, where I am...
And with 4 more wins tonight, the A level clubs are at 15-1 over the last 4 days
