    **** yeah I can, swapped out with the LHP 1B in HS, he pitched, I played 1st or 3rd or LF depending on what was needed and vice/versa.

    Never leave your seat at MMP with your glove sitting in it, to go get a beer or anything. Rawlings 'Heart of the Hide' glove vanished while my buddies were there in the seats around it. ****ing chislers stole my ****, my dad bought me that glove too.

    I heard that Myles Straw uses an outfield glove while playing SS. Perhaps his cronies go scavenging the stands looking for an infield glove.

    That SOB stole my 1Bmans mitt (probably to play LF with) 20 years ago. It was MY glove, nevermind the cost.

    Now I know I hate him.

    I totally understand the love of a good glove.

    Oh, I still have my IF glove, that's the glove that you keep forever. I was just pissed that I let a really nice glove get stolen like that, had my name on it and everything.

    Well the velocity us still there. Just turned the game on, and he's having some major lapses in command from what I've seen.

    No sir. Your adjusting facts to meet your criteria. You stated that that the Astros were not going to play someone in a position they haven't played before.

    I mentioned Straw at SS.

    You claimed he was worked at SS last year. Which couldnt of been much at all, but pretty much agreed with my statement since Straw has probably seen more time at SS with the big boys than in PCL.

    Also....yes anyone in a uniform can play 1b...for the most part.

    The five outs that Kyle Serrano recorded tonight are a new professional career high for him.

    A.J. Lee just hit a three-run homer, the first of his pro career.

    The Astros won’t play a player at a position they haven’t played before, BUT the Astros organization will clearly put players at positions they never played before.

    I like AJ Lee a lot. This might be the best 3rd day of the draft Luhnow has had. Gusto, Nix, Holcomb, Lee, lots to like.

    Has struck out 6 over 3 innings. The only hitter to reach did so on an error after a strikeout.

    Rivera's final line: 4.1 IP, H, 2 ER, BB, 8 K

    The two runs scored after he left the game.

    Cristian Javier had his shortest outing of the year last night as only lasted 1.2 innings and allowed three runs, all of which were inherited runners that scored, a hit, walked two, and struck out three.

    On the bright side, he still has yet to allow five hits in any appearance this season.
