[Official] Astros Spring Training Thread

9-7, 2 on 2 out

 

Astros win 9-7. 2 in a row! Extraordinary!

 

In case you were wondering or hadn't heard, Brandon Backe did make the team this season. He will start the season on the disabled list. His contract is guaranteed for the season. It was reported over on the Houston Chronicle website.

 

Decent lineup today. Most probably very close to how we will start on opening day. Let's see if it can produce some runs. Pudge making his debut batting 2nd

 

Pudge singles in his first at bat

 

guy made $1.5mm by faking an injury. smart agent.

 

3 hits and no runs through 5. The scrubs performed better yesterday

 

Pudge follows good old Astros catcher tradition by hitting into an inning ending double play.

Beautiful

 

For those not at work, the Astros are on FS Houston today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. All noon starts.

 

spring training on tv yes!!!!!!

 

Berkman hit a nice homerun to straight-away centerfield on a 1-2 pitch...his second of the spring.

 

And another one to left center.

 

Bourn just decided to give up an inside the park home run because he dove for the ball and decided to take a little nap before getting up and lightly jogging after the ball.

 

Where was his backup?

 

Lee was getting a hot dog.

 

I thought Lee was going to get two hot dogs. What happened to the other one?

 

did any1 hear cody ross say "it's one of those plays that make you look r****ded"? i just think thats a little messed up

 

4 in a row...won 10-8

Hampton went 5, giving up 3 er, 5 hits, 0 bb, and 4 k.

Berkman hit 2 hr. Bourn went 3-4 with a double, 3 rbi, and his 8th steal of the spring.

 

Not trying to be picky but the MLB boxscore shows 7 hits, including 3 doubles.
