RR, CC & AVS win, Lex Rained Out, Matsui’s Rehab Plan

Posted on April 5, 2008 by Duman in From the Bus Stop

Round Rock
The night started rough for the Express but ended on a good note. I-Cub starter Sean Marshall, who was the last cut out of spring training, pitched 3 innings striking out 6 of the 9 batters he faced. Luckily for the Express, Marshall had a 45 pitch limit as he was being stretched out to return to a starters role after hanging out in the bull pen.

Josh Mueke’s bounced back after giving up a first inning homer to only allow 2 other hits over 5 innings, while striking out 5 and walking none. He earned the win after his teammates scored 2 in the sixth and single runs in the 7th and 8th for a 4-2 win. Read More

Bradley in the top 10 offensively and Towles orders pizza on the plane

Posted on April 4, 2008 by pravata in News You Can Use

Top Ten
Brad Ausmus is 10 hits away from becoming the eighth catcher all-time with 1,500 hits and 100 stolen bases.

Learning about Sampson, and having some food
Towles, preparing to catch “He was on the plane, got the scouting report and started getting his game plan together,” Sampson said. “As soon as I finished eating, I sat next to him and said, ‘What do you have, bud?’ We started going over it there. We went over it two more times [Friday]. We were very prepared and on the same page all day long.”

Yahoo Recap
Astros.com recap

Game 1 of the weekend series ends as a win for the Astros. Chris Sampson started the game going 6 2/3rds inning, giving up 2 runs on two hits, one strike out and no walks. Gave up just enough to make sure he didn’t get the win.Read More

11 Innings for both Lex and CC with different outcomes

Posted on April 4, 2008 by Duman in From the Bus Stop

Round Rock was rained out of their opener and Salem opens their season tonight. So the only two teams playing last night were Lexington and Corpus Christi. They both went to 11 innings with the Legends losing and the Hooks pulling out a win.

Lexington

Asheville beat the Legends 5-4 in 11 last night. Astros pitchers did well with one exception. Leandro Cespedes struck out 6 and walked 3 during his 4 innings of work, allowing only one run and two hits. Abad, Robinson and Kelly combined for 5 innings of shutout ball with Kelly tallying four k’s along the way. Pacella took the loss without an earned run. The exception of the night was Mike Koons who allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 1 inning. He and Max Sapp allowed 3 stolen bases in that inning. Overall Asheville runners were 5 out of 6 against Sapp. This is a trend we will be watching.Read More

Astros.com wrap from Sandy Burgin (?)

The Astros bats lost their momentum after last night’s exciting ninth inning rally, managing a mere six hits and two runs as they failed to achieve the split in the final game of a four game set in San Diego, losing 3-2 Thursday afternoon.Read More

Wrigley Field

It’s windy, miserable, and probably going to rain at least once this series. Nice work MLB scheduling games for the Mud n’ Blood in the Northern US of A when they’ve got a perfectly good retractable roof crib back in Houston.
