Thank god we have OFs manning RF these days. I get nervous every time I see Altuve going out there thinking of what we've seen Paredes & Carter do out there.
Thats the game. Hard to fault taking a challenge on a close play resulting in 2 runs scored this late in the game.
Not watching. Did he suck today? He's been pretty much lights-out since we got him. Is there a team in MLB that has worse production from the 1B/LF/DH traditional power/offensive spots?
Well, he pitched well. Pitched us out of a bases loaded jam....till he didn't cover on a grounder to 1st.
Also let a runner score from 2nd on an infield "hit". And Castro bailed him out on several pitches well in front of the plate.
From the Astros' Twitter: @astros: #Astros officially recall LHP @Rudy_Owens from Triple A OKC to make tonight's start at Seattle. RHP Josh Zeid has been optioned to Triple A.
LOL We managed to go 29 hours without a single post in the active series thread. The golden age of Astros baseball, god how I hope we're almost through with it.
