first post after the line-ups and it is pretty much an Ashby sucks post.

I got used to hearing Blum and now he's done. I think he may be done for the season. On the road trip Ash and Blum were talking about Blum going surfing in June.

I'm surprised you think you're not in the Astros market area.

Obie doing well, but other than that, you aren't missing a thing. I wonder if the Astros hit a buck fifty as a team for the first three innings.

Wait, a hit. Tucker with a double.

austro · « **Reply #6 on:** June 01, 2015, 08:09:47 pm »

It's a double-tucker! Or a Tucker double. Or something.

jbm · « **Reply #7 on:** June 01, 2015, 08:14:21 pm »

Not surprisingly, I was wrong about the first inning troubles. Basically, they hit as well the first three innings as the last three innings. 230 ish. I had convinced my self otherwise.

Steve Pierce is a former Astro. Somebody better report in former Astros news that he just walked.

A beauty by Marwin to save a run, keeping the tying run at the plate. 1-0 O's

They seem to have an uncanny ability to space their hits just enough that they don't yield runs. And when they clump them Villar turns baserunners into outs.

For some reason all I am thinking is that Villar is our goat this season.

Sometimes tough to define when the catch is made and transfer is started. That would be my guess. That play is pretty clear but many are not.

I guess they're hoping that the throws will be off-line, but that strategy isn't working. Especially when the runners are so late that the throws could be 10 feet off-line and the catcher could still get back to the plate in time.

It was NOT a good throw. Martin was still not even to 3b when the ball was fielded. Young could have rolled the ball home.

Especially against Jones. He has a good arm and it's no secret.

He's still sort of young in experience. If he learns to lay off the crap, he might be real special, cause he can hit.
