I knew there was something about Bettis that rang a bell, other than being a Red Raider. Thanks to the search function here, it appears that the Astros drafted him in the 8th round in 2007 out of high school, but failed to sign him. That was part of that god awful draft that yielded zilch. Absolutely nothing, not even a scrub for a cup of coffee as they didn't sign Dietrich.

Makes me so happy to see the current state of acquiring and developing talent.

That's the way to start out a ballgame! Three straight singles.

And a three run homer.

Nice of Mr Rasmus to cash those chips.

NeilT · « **Reply #5 on:** June 15, 2015, 07:36:26 pm »

I was pretty happy with one run.

NeilT · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2015, 07:39:12 pm »

Who's Rasmus's hair stylist? He must go to the same guy Bagwell went to.

BudGirl · « **Reply #7 on:** June 15, 2015, 07:46:27 pm »

Springer is 2 for 2 on the night. He seems to be doing better of late.

NeilT · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2015, 07:46:54 pm »

Springer Dinger. 5-0.

That Springer dude is pretty good.

He does seem to be falling down less when he has swung of late.

And now Correa is 2 for 2.

We should write him in for the All-Star game.

Did you know that Preston Tucker hits left handed pitching well? I know, because Ashby tells us every fucking game.

NeilT · « **Reply #13 on:** June 15, 2015, 08:11:57 pm »

Wasn't Brandon Barnes one of Bud Girl's favorites?

I'm thrilled with Springer's ABs lately.

Keuchel continues to amaze me. He can throw everything in there. Comes in with a hard slider on Arenado at 87 with a tight small break, then follows it with a slurvy big breaker at 81. Hitting him must be a fucking chore.

NeilT · « **Reply #18 on:** June 15, 2015, 08:29:13 pm »

I don't think Keuchel's worth discussing.

Somebody strangle Ashby (or just distract him)

Rasmus' guilty pleasure is starting a cattle farm.

Get a few more and put it away.

Ash with some more Tucker pucker.

jbm · « **Reply #31 on:** June 15, 2015, 09:37:39 pm »

Altuve might look like Infante in ten years, just with 1,500 more hits.

Ashby's "flirting" with Julia is icky.

It is. Poor girl can't just tell him to go away on the air.

Meanwhile, Neshak continues his sterling performance, tearing through the heart of the Rockies lineup.

Great job by Gregerson to pick up Carter there. Astros hold the Rockies off. Springer with a MVP type game.

Springer has been unreal lately. Love it

chuck · « **Reply #36 on:** June 15, 2015, 10:30:56 pm »

The only particularly surprising thing is that Springer didn't make that diving circus catch going to his right. He is an unrepentant psychopath in the outfield.

If he and Correa approach their respective ceilings at about the same time they could be the bookends of a seriously fucked up lineup.

Might have been a side effect of not having played next to Rasmus that often. He appeared to hesitate a bit, likely unsure if Colby was going for it. Whereas Springer and Marisnick seem to have each other pretty figured out already.
