Agreed. I like this order.

Fowler ahead of Springer is better. Only three hitters under .200 and Carter and Villar are close.

NeilT · « **Reply #4 on:** June 03, 2014, 03:59:34 pm »

I don't know guys, Singleton is hitting .000. He's not meeting my expectations.

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.

Ashby commenting on Altuve's poor fundamentals in catching and tagging. Altuve has improved somewhat, but it is still a weakness.

I believe that last might have been Pujols, which is even better than McHugh throwing himself out.

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.
