    Fans could make more of an effort there… then again, its not the wave.

    Yep...all the fans duck out of the way like it's a grenade when an Astro hits a ball close to the wall.

    Low spin rate, doesn't throw hard, shouldn't we rake this guy?

    Garcia hits fastballs but struggles greatly with off speed stuff. Eshelman throws almost all off speed stuff

    Yep, sounds like a great night to play him over Toro

    We did last week to the tune of 6 runs on 8 hits in 4 innings in route to a 13-0 win.

    Seems like if you struggle at the plate, you get the nod.

    Add it to the list of things Crane can spend money on:

    I have done exactly none research on this, but I do wonder if it has anything to do with defense, given the starting pitcher of the day.

    If Yuli is failing to get runners in from 3rd with less than 2 outs then we're officially in an offensive slump.

    Lately, double plays have been showing up on regular interval. Just when we thought.. dodged one with Brantley, Yuli puts one up :)
