I noticed the lack of effort. Did the Mariner fans get on him about it? Astros announcers didn't say a thing.
Glad to see an Astros fan there in Seattle! I know how it feels. I live in Atlanta now, and moved here just in time when we were battling in the playoffs it seemed year in and year out. It's rough being an Astros fan on the road, but it certainly shows how much of a die hard fan you are when you're a team that has struggled as much as we have, and still do everything you can to make each game you possibly can. Great job!
A ton of fans had already left before the top of the 7th, so there were probably 3000 or something ridiculous left in the building at that point (only 10k announced, maybe 7k actually showed by my estimate in the first few innings). But yes, they were on him for a few minutes. It was compounded by the error immediately following it in CF, but at least in my mind they were really booing Cano when they saw his laziness during a perceived blowout
Well we're scoring runs now, but it's almost been entirely HR driven, our BABIP is still down at .233. Despite still not having a very good lineup, I think this team is in for a run surge eventually. If the starters keep up this good work we're due for some wins. Collin McHugh, WTF, no seriously WTF. 12 K's in 6 2/3 innings, talk about being locked in. Unlikely he ever deals like this again at any level, we'll see how he follows this up.
The Astros - that rare combination of HR power (3rd in AL), speed (2nd in SBs), defense (1st in AL) and starting pitching (0 balks).
Son of Gaelic Fire God ftw. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_nationality_is_the_name_McHugh?#slide=1 McHugh is both Scottish and Irish and is derived from the surname 'McCoy'. It's a form of the Gaelic 'Mac Aodha' meaning 'son of Aodh'. Aodh is an ancient personal name meaning 'fire' and was originally the name of a pagan god.
Not sure which thread to put this in, but figured this one will get the most views: Is there anywhere I can see a list of recent Astros trades (like last 4-5 years) to see who exactly came back in the flurry of activity where we shipped out all MLB-level talent? I know ESPN keeps track of this stuff, but the trades get lost amid a sea of players getting shuffled around; I need it broken down for human consumption. Thanks (and like one rep point) in advance to anyone that can help me through this time of crisis.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/trade-partners.cgi?franch_ID_1=HOU&franch_ID_2=ALL This narrows it down by trades with organizations. Not quite what you were looking for, but it should be better than looking through every single transaction made.
FYI The game at 2:30pm today is the MLBTV free game on mlb.com for those of you that dont have comcast or are stuck at work like myself. Hope its not blacked out! Luckily ive got it recording at home just in case. GO ASTROS!!!!
