    Talk about the series here. Please no PBP in this thread. Unless otherwise noted all games are on CSN-H (for about 40% I guess).

    7-19 Joe Saunders, LHP vs. Bud Norris, RHP 7:10

    7-20 Hisashi Iwakuma, RHP vs. TBA

    7-21 Felix Hernandez, RHP vs. TBA

    Saunders struggles outside of Safeco Field. So much so that he is known as Safeco Joe. Iwakuma and Felix are nails though. I predict WLL.

    I'll be there tonight. Maybe Bud Norris' last start in an Astros jersey?

    Go 'stros!

    Well, thinking about heading out to the ballpark tonight.

    Given that Joe Saunders is a lefty, we may have to endure having to see Ronny Cedeño be useless at everything.

    I'll be there, too Max! Considering the likely crowd size, I'll wave to you before the start of the 5th and I'm sure you'll see me.

    Link

    Scouts from the Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Arizona Diamondbacks, Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants were all at Minute Maid Park watching Bud Norris on Friday night.

    “We were joking that we were all here for the same reason,” a veteran National League scout said. “We’re watching Norris, but Seattle also has some bullpen arms that teams are looking at.”

    Astros showing minor league highlights during the game. Don't think I've ever seen that.
