I can still vividly remember CP talking about this nonprospect flying thru the minors who just keeps hitting at every level. This was around 2009/2010. I am sure yall can figure out who.TarponChaser said:bearkatag15 said:Here are the 8 #Astros rookies to hit 10+ homers prior to the All-Star break:
— Steve Grande (@AstrosGrande) July 5, 2023
Yainer Diaz: 10 in 2023
Peña: 13 in 2022
McCormick: 10 in 2021
Gurriel: 11 in 2017
Springer: 19 in 2014
Pence: 11 in 2007
Berkman: 12 in 2000
Morgan: 10 in 1965
This is a pretty good list to be on. Springer hitting 19 before the ASB is incredible
2014-2015 is about as recently as I can recall listening to sports radio regularly and I still remember Charlie Palillo ranting for about 3 years leading up to 2014 about the Astros refusing to call up Springer from the minors to manipulate his major league service time for contract purposes.

Quality start for JP!
Two immaculate innings is way more unlikely.
Heck of a job to finish the inning! I assume we may see Montero at some point today. He's had back to back good outings, would be nice to see him continue to trend back towards last year and away from his career mean
JP has been a really good story this season. Hard guy not to root for.
Would really like some more runs so we don't have to use any of the main bullpen arms today.
France is awesome. Just an absolute bulldog on the mound. Won't blow you away but he has great composure.
.562 OPS going into today. Only the White Sox held him to a lower OPS.Ag_07 said:
Does Cron only get hits against us?
Dude has to have a HOF stat line against the Astros.
Ya win some and lose some.
I'm becoming more and more of a JP believer.
I think he can be a solid #3/4 in our rotation.
He doesn't have the best stuff but he seems to use what he has very well and works efficiently. Also seems to not be afraid to go after hitters and attack.
He's been great so far!

13 IP and 3 ER combined out of Bielak and France.
That is big boy stuff.

We'll know a lot more about France when teams start seeing him a second and third time
Yup. My kind of guy.texasaggie2015 said:

Here comes the Madris home run

Yup. As long as he doesn't the game for them. Laureno same type of guy.Farmer1906 said:.562 OPS going into today. Only the White Sox held him to a lower OPS.Ag_07 said:

It was high enough.
Close!
This game is smelling like a repeat of Monday's game.

Not true. The double immaculate inning trick has happened.
The HR cycle has never happened in the majors. Looks like it's happened twice in the minors.
How do we finish this one? Pressly, Neris, Abreu, & Maton all threw Fri, Sun, Mon. Stanek thru Sat, Mon, & Tue.
1 run game
Fuuuuuuuck
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

You've got to be ****ing kidding me
I doubled off Grichuk in little league. Guess he finally got his revenge.
As if striking me out the other three times wasn't enough

When you miss over the middle big leaguers can make the ball go a long way the other way.
Gonna need more than 5 to win this game
I don't know but I probably would've saved Neris to come in and save.
Now we'll most likely get Montero in a 1 run game.

Offense needs to go score 4 or 5 more and going to have to let Montero, Martinez, and whoever else the called up take it to the house. Maybe Stanek on a back to back.Farmer1906 said:

He hasn't pitched since Saturday. We need a inning out him.
I think we'll see Abreu in 8th
You guys do understand that you can't just throw the same guys out there every night and we'll eventually have to use Montero right? It's not a Dusty thing. It's just a neccessity
I figure we'd seen him in the 7th. We definitely have to use him.
Yup. Just hope the offense can get a couple of runs before we need his inning.Farmer1906 said:Ag_07 said:
