[Official] Astros @ Athletics

It's the "Prospect Promotion Incentive" they added last year. A player has to start the season in the majors and have been ranked in the top 100 lists from 2 of ESPN/BA/MLB. The Mariners got the 29th pick for JRod winning last year.

Right now it looks like Miller will get the Mariners another pick, but it should be a fun race

 

If it was McCormick at DH and Diaz catching - and then they scored two runs - we would have no case. This lineup is 78% correct.

 

Ex Astro Austin pruitt pitching against us today

 

Revenge game

 

GAWN!!!!

 

Pena at 2!!

 

Pena definitely batting 6th tomorrow

 

THIS IS WHY YOU PUT PENA AT THE 2 HOLE!!!!

 

A nice way to start!

 

Abreu…how about running a little faster.

 

that should have been 4 pitch walk.....

 

Is it me or does Chas fail in those situations too frequently?

 

not his fault. 4 pitch walk.......

also, not a lot of folks here remember he's an avg ball player and sometimes slightly below avg ball player.

 

julks, why don't you hit these type of balls in minute maid?

 

He has a career OPS of .855 with runners in scoring position, and he has over a .400 BA and OPS over 1.000 with runners at 1B and 3B specifically. If that's failing frequently to you, then I guess he does. Plus, as mentioned, he should have walked.

 

Just gave them a run Framber.

 

1 run is fine as long as he keep it at 1.

offense needs to score at least 5 to give the defense a good chance to win.

 

Now they can’t get a hit.
