    Of the Astros two top 1B targets this past off season:

    Rizzo
    AB R
    H HR RBI SB AVG OBP OPS
    373 45 91 12 41 0 .244 .328 .706

    Abreu
    AB
    R H HR RBI SB AVG OBP OPS
    402 41 97 10 56 0 .241 .297 .653

    Pretty close. Rizzo a hair better... both are pretty disappointing for 1B bats

    Wouldn't you love to the see the Astro's get on a roll tonight. Pass the Rangers and keep going. Oh yeah, that would be sweet.

    A win doesn't pass the rangers thanks to the sorry White Sox once again. maybe the marlins can snap out of their struggles this weekend and give the rangers some trouble while hou deals with NY

    Yes, but not possible since they already won today.

    The Rangers were losing when I checked, but they came back and won. They are really annoying this season.

    No satisfaction in sweeping The Yankees and winning The World Series against the backdrop of Yankee whining and tears. Must humiliate further….

    yankee fans are probably pretty hopeless about tonight's game, considering Javier's history against them.

    3 appearances (2 starts)
    0.60 ERA

    Last time he faced them, 1 hit in 5 1/3 innings in a 5-0 ALCS win.

    What they might have missed is that he has a 7.04 ERA in his last 8 starts.

    Just hope we get GOOD Javier tonight!

    Zero steals total for these 1B… Bagwell laughs at peasants

    I say Abreu edges Rizzo due to RBIs. With both players struggling (and Gurriel), Astros didn’t have prayer last offseason at 1B.
