    I dont like it .... i think he should just finish out his quota of innings as a starter.... there are some people out there that think throwing out of the pen actually increases the stress on your arm as you throw harder for short stints and usually dont have the warm up time etc.... How many more innings is he set to throw anyways ??

    So Henry Sosa... Is he Ezequial Astacio or Carlos Zambrano?

    He has the pure stuff to be the latter, but without development and learning how to pitch, he'll turn into the former.

    Who knows but I would like to see what he could do in the pen if he doesn't pan out as a starter. Aneury Rodriguez has had a very solid transition to the pen but I still think he will be tried as a starter now that Lyles was sent down unless they bring back J.A. Happ.

    I know I sound like a broken record but this new look astros' team, they just look like they are winners. All of these young players are playing great baseball.

    Well, we took back to back series. Even in a pitiful season like this; wins are wins.

    One of my favorite things is when TV networks unknowingly (I assume) show players or coaches cursing in slow motion on replays. Right after the game, the cameras showed Keppinger saying "F*** yeah!" twice in slow motion to Pablo Sandoval after he made the play for the last out.
