    We have hits in 2 of our last 3 ABs. That is on fire.

    What radio station is broadcasting the Astros games and are they on an iPhone app? I'm currently listening to the Rangers feed on the ESPN Radio app.

    Another tremendous defensive play for Dominguez. That's why I don't want to see too much of Brett Wallace at 3rd... if Matt proves even passable (.700-ish OPS) offensively, he's an everyday guy at 3B for some time to come.

    790 but it will be blacked out.

    There's our first K swinging with runner on 3rd and under 2 outs. Always frustrating.

    Not shocking it's Pena.

    Pena and Carter just looked completely over matched by Ogando. Atrocious at bats for both of them.

    It took an almost perfect game to take down the undefeated Astros last night.


    That's the way I look at it

    Weird...I got the first inning on Dallas ESPN Radio 103.3. Then, it blacked out after that. :mad:

    4 strikeouts through 2 innings. My question is how many Astros will reach 200 Ks this year (talking about batters, here). Pena and Carter could both challenge that level

    At the rate Brett Wallace is going he should be there by the All Star break...

    Ugh. Six straight balls, ahead in the count 2-0, you know a fastball is coming right down the plate... and the best Carlos Pena can do is meekly ground out to second? :confused:

    I suppose it's progress that he actually made contact, but still.

    So, is Pena our fulltime DH this season? Guy hit under .200 avg in 400+ at-bats last season. Doh!

    again, Carter looks like complete crap on that AB. We need our #4 hitter to hit above .000, please

    The only reason we are even playing pena is to up his trade value.

    Right now, its not working out
