    Appel being sent to extended ST. Luhnow said his performance so far has been unsettling. There's definitely something going on.

    Ruined by Lancaster!

    At least he's not injured... and the Astros now have McHugh!

    Who was the guy on ESPN that said he was MLB ready and would bring him up right after the draft?

    Perhaps he didn't figure in appendicitis surgery.

    I'm still well short of panic mode on Appel. The appendectomy combined with the tandem system and Lancaster.

    Not that the tandem system is without its merits, it gives us a chance to look at a lot of arms we usually wouldn't get to see, but for the likes of Appel or Folty, you should just have them on normal rotation. I don't like changing players from what they have grown accustomed to and will face in the show.

    Domingo Santana just hit his 2nd homer of the year for OKC. The 2-run shot in the 4th cuts OKC's deficit against Nashville to 5-3.

    Josh Hader threw 3 perfect innings and struck out 6 for Lancaster

    Josh Hader is not playing games. 35 K's in 23.2 innings, a whip of 0.97, and only 5 walks. He just turned 20, nice :grin:

    Bud who??? :grin:

    Hader (a very good LHP prospect) presumably was the biggest piece the Astros got in the Norris trade, followed closely by the prime draft pick, with Hoes being a decent stop-gap OF.

    A great move by Luhnow.

    What's the deal with Correa? He hasn't played the last few games.
