Lope's body is ready... for Eve too. Loperfido seems he will be, at minimum, an average hitter. Astros could use this 7th-9th. A good game is incoming.
This is the thanks Burrows gets after not allowing a multi-run HR. We'll see if Imai steals money or not. Bet the over,
Usually don't bet Astros games but the lineup is almost optimal and Tigers are schite. Astros -1,5 gives 2.70 odds with pennys. Force Mize to zone (don't chase the splitter) and we have this one. Was hoping to hear from Joe "it really is go time for us" after yesterdays game but he was just psyched how he let Delgado hit late and had world beater vibes in his post game. Pretty sure guys haven't listened anything he says in long time.
I don't have any issue with today's lineup in a vacuum. But I just wish Espada would choose an outfield and give it a chance to gel. Give the players a chance to get into a routine and see if they can find a left fielder who can get hot. 6 different players have started in LF this month. Nobody has started consecutive games in LF since Trammell 5/31 and 6/2.
I totally get that. Loperfido is much better against RHP, Mize is much better against LHB. Something's gotta give.
Damn.. looked like Joey's lob shot would drop. Runner on 2nd would have scored easy with 2 outs. RISP contact !! Tad off the end of bat unfortunately
Lambert working quickly and throwing strikes, 36 pitches through 3 (25 strikes). It's refreshing to watch. No jinx.
