All series talk goes in here. DO NOT GIVE PLAY-BY-PLAY! If you need PBP try Yahoo, ESPN, or Sportsline. 4-21 Zach Duke, LHP (1-1, 4.50) vs. Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (2-0, 2.84) 7:05 on FSSW 4-22 Ian Snell, RHP (0-1, 9.60) vs. Taylor Buchholz, RHP (0-1, 3.18) 6:05 on KNWS 4-23 Paul Maholm, LHP (0-2, 6.11) vs. Roy Oswalt, RHP (3-0, 2.76) 1:05 on FSSW
We actually roughed up Duke a little bit in his only start at MMP. However, he received a no-decision His Line: 4 IP 8 H 4 R 4 ER 3 BB 2 K 9.00 ERA 2.25 WHIP Of course, that's just one game...
WLW That 9.60 ERA has got me worried Doesn't it always seem to be the case that opposing pitchers with bad ERAs give the Astros problems?
has any other team besides Houston won every series they have played? (technically, Houston hasnt lost a series, since they split two with SF) Mets lost to ATL and I believe the Red Sox lost a series earlier in the month... Arrrrg! Time to swashbuckle our way to another series victory...
WWW. We've never faced Maholm before, thankfully we've got Roy to balance out his inevitable eight shutout innings.
