[Chron] Rockets Taking Batting Practice at Minute Maid

LMFAO at Chuck sweating a storm...dude never gives it under 100%.

 

Chuck looks alot thinner:

 

And AB was the guy working on his game while Rafer Alston was out spitting on parking attendants. Now, AB is last year's Most Improved Player. I think he'll be fine.

 

Cool to see the guys get to practice with some pros.
Well, the Astros.

 

What? To blow out his back?

 

Bagwell never did steroids. That's why he weighs 120 lbs. and his skin fits like a used tea bag.

 

Yeah, they (as in freidman and other media) have all said that chuck got a lot thinner over the summer to improve quickness, etc. I'm thinking he looks pretty fit.

 

Baggy sure has thinned out.

 

Chase looked like he belonged.

Biggio, Bagwell, Berkman, Budinger - The Beez

 

Thanks for the post!

"Gotta move your feet Pat!"

Strange to think of a kid growing up in the US who has never played any t-ball or little league... but I guess they started on basketball early and never looked elsewhere.

 

Don't forget Brooks.

 

Any HR's?

 

Does Hayes' swing have a hitch? :grin:

 

I went to his signing a few months ago, and I was surprised how thin he actually is in person, but I do think he has dropped a few pounds since then.

 

I'm just guessing, but I would imagine that the players are contractually obligated to do so many PR/charity event per year. This is probably one of them. I know you're not serious, but I don't think you could use this at all to say that one is working harder then the other in anyway.

That said, was Lowry working on his game in China?

 

It was hilarious watching them take their swings on the Astros broadcast... I think most of them never played baseball before. There was only one homer into the Crawford Boxes, but I forget who hit it now. I want to say Patterson, but I could be wrong.

Budinger put a good swing on one in the video in the OP, looked like he hit it off the wall.

 

Respert hit the Crawford Box homerun.

 

By the way I hope you're joking about this, haha. Baseball players start at like age 4 and even when they go pro they spend years in the minors and only like 1 out of every 10 pro baseball player makes it to the majors.

Brooks never played baseball before in his life, haha.
