Damn, facing two of the biggest Astro killers in Wainwright and Zambrano back to back. That's just bad luck.
Tuesday's Lineup: 1. Jordan Schafer (L) CF 2. Jose Altuve (R) 2B 3. Jed Lowrie (S) SS 4. Carlos Lee (R) 1B 5. Travis Buck (L) RF 6. J.D. Martinez (R) LF 7. Chris Johnson (R) 3B 8. Jason Castro (L) C 9. Aneury Rodriguez (R) P http://houston.sbnation.com/2012/5/8/3008001/astros-vs-marlins-game-2-starting-lineups-announced
Cruz is eligible to come off tomorrow. I'm thinking that the Astros will send Fernando Abad or Enerio Del Rosario back to OKC.
Chris Johnson will swing at anything. After 2 1/2 years of seeing him, I'm not overly surprised anymore.
How about that? Swing at a pitch in the zone and you at least put it in play. First MLB hit for Aneury!!
Aneury all over the place, but he's been alright. Too bad the only two hits he's allowed left the park...
Other than 2 homers to the Boxes, Aneury pitched very well. Only 78 pitches to get through 6 innings.
That "strike 3" on Schafer was the worst called strike three I've seen in several years. My goodness - it wasn't even CLOSE.
i'm getting scared of this scola and chandler bromance. what if maury tries to break them up? totally not fair. oops not the garm. =) that was a beautiful display of pitching by both teams, even if rodriguez gave up 2 homers.
Does Scola live here in the offseason? I thought he would go back to Argentina. Parsons is just chillaxin though. Probably has a trip to Florida coming up.
I may be a little late on this, but.... Also... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Aneury Rodriguez optioned to OKC.

He's hitting right at .300. I don't know why CJ is always the goat. We have three starting outfielders hitting .230, .232 and .235 respectively.
