    I remember him throwing a guy out trying to go 1st to 3rd on a double to the RF corner at the Dome. On the fly.

    Making Pineda look like a Cy Young winner. Gotta get some hits.

    Actually you're right, he is so good he would have already been positioned there because he has psychic powers and knew he would hit the ball to that exact spot.

    I think Gomez is my least favorite Astro of all time. The guy has no place discipline, just fancy stance, closes eyes and swings for the moon. Flips his bat every time he makes contact. Terrible CF honestly I'd rather have marisnock or Rasmus out there.

    After facing Weaver and Lincecum in back-to-back starts, I'm sure Pineda's stuff looks like it's coming in at 110 mph.

    As it is, Astros tend to struggle with guys who can run up the gas.

    Early on we were getting some good cuts, just didn't fall. Pineda has definitely looked better the last 2 innings. Feel bad for Dallas. He's pitching an incredible game so far.

    Yeah, Berkman said nobody liked Clemens either.... thus, no run support.

    Some pitchers need to mingle better ;)

    I'd think Marisnick would have a better chance chasing down the double than catching Headley's single.

    Not unless a sniper got him in the leg between 3rd and home. Only seen Clemente on film, but Dave Parker, Vlad and Ichiro would be my 3. Wilson did have the b****in' fu-manchu mullet combo though, so he gets extra points for that.

    Obviously McHugh's wife has been giving everyone BJs the last couple of years.

    Vlad's was so awesome. Ichiro was more the complete package. I don't watch a ton of baseball outside of the Astros, but I love watching Kole Calhoun throw.

    Cespedes and Puig both will amaze at times with their throws.

    Puig had a sick outfield assist on a triple earlier this season. Amazing arm strength, too bad he sucks at hitting now

    Pineda's body movements are that of a drunk person.

    I will ***** bricks if Bregman homers here. I'll settle for an RBI.

    Bregman's not nervous here at all.
