This is so disturbing
Was a great game to be at tonight. Huge crowd for a Wednesday night.
Yet I'm strangely mesmerized...

Great night at the Juice Box. Felt like the 6th was never going to end. Which was a good thing. Hope this kick starts the offense abd continues to the break.
God damn, what an overreaction.agcat said:
This team hasn't been the same since they gave that game away in KC.
They never were the 27 Yankees that all the sportswriters were gaga over during the first two months.
first off day I can remember where the fans are thankful for not having a game (or at least I am). Bullpen really needs the rest.
great win for the Astros (45-22) last night. And it's definitely good to have a day off.
seems like the 'stros should have more off days coming.
Houston has played 67 games this season. Only the Angels (69) and Tampa (68) have played more games in the AL.
some teams like the Twins and Indians have only played 62. The Yankees are at 63. And four other teams at 64

Not really. Only 2 more off days (6/26 and 7/3) between now and the AS break.
Just have to endure and find a way to keep up that 2-1 W-L ratio until the ASB.
That would be 15 -7 over the next 22. We'd go into the ASB at 60-29 and one of the better records at that point in recent history.

I'd be fine with 13-9 or whatever a .600 clip is.
A .600 clip for the rest of the season would get to 102 wins.
For those that follow prospects, Yordan Alvarez is really blowing up in Quad Cities right now. My recollection from the trade last year was that he was a good hitter but the power hadn't shown yet. Seems like that is changing in a big way.
What trade was that?

Josh Fields?

Quote:
Derek Fisher up for an audition to show off his skills in order for Astros to add pitching?
I think it's an audition to take over as the starting LF. Aoki hasn't hit much. If Fisher can hold his own while Reddick is out, I don't see how they send him back and keep playing Aoki.
.371/.471/.649 with 7 hrs, 27rbi, and 2sb in 119 PA, 31/19 K/BB. Not bad at all.
Yes, he was the return from the Dodgers for Josh Fields

Who BTW is having a career year for the Dodgers out of that pen.
2.05 ERA and a 100% LOB% in 26 IP
I think this is the next Astro to break into the top 100 prospects.
Martes
Tucker
Paulino
Whitley
Fisher
Perez
Alvarez?
Bukauskas?
We will see who sticks in the big leagues and who gets traded, but we continue to stack talent across the organization.

Yes he has been good for them so far, but his peripherals suggest some correction is coming.
I wouldn't be shocked is Jake Adams climbs the minor league ladder quickly. However, I worry he may turn out to be an AAAA player.
I'm glad someone else noticed this. My wife and I were cracking up watching that. It's not an aggressive hump either, more of a Barry White easy does it type of thing. His walk up music should be "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe".CFTXAG10 said:
Fisher looks like he's humping the air on his approach
The Astros have signed Cuban right-handed pitcher Elian Rodriguez to a minor league contract.
Details:
Details:
"From seeing Elian Rodriguez in multiple game situations, what stands out the most is his combination of athleticism, power stuff, and overall pitchability and command," said Ocampo. "Elian is physical, athletic, and projectable with an impressive repertoire, including a 92-97 MPH fastball and two power breaking balls. Elian also demonstrates a strong work ethic, aptitude and intelligence to improve in all areas of his game. Elian has all the attributes to develop into a power starter at the Major League level, and we are excited to bring him into the Astros system."
"Elian is a right handed starter with an electric arm and a very high ceiling," said Astros Senior Scouting Advisor Charlie Gonzalez. "He is still getting a feel for game situations and developing his pitchability, so pitching in a professional environment will help him blossom. The combination of his youth, delivery, and physicality makes for an exciting projection and a potential elite power arm."
