    I think for the most part, they see the major league relievers of the future to be guys who are currently starting in the minors, so give them all innings now and work on developing your best pitching prospects and figure out the future role as you move forward

    I'm just curious about guys like Chapman who have decent relief potential.

    I'm sure the few relievers who they feel have potential, like Chapman and especially Lo, will get as much work in as they always would.

    Never thought I'd see the day when I could sympathize with this clip.

    Please let that be the last time Carlos Pena ever hits against a lefty. He can't hit them at all.

    Jebus. 15 of 21 outs so far have been via strikeout.

    Final exhibition is at 1:05.

    Brian T. Smith (@ChronAstros): #Houston #Astros prospects Carlos Correa, Jonathan Singleton, George Springer, Delino DeShields Jr. starting today vs. Chicago #Cubs at MMP.


    Jeff Luhnow (@jluhnow): If you want to see the future faces of the Astros, head on down to MMP today. Roof is closed, plenty of good seats available. See you there!

    Santana just crushed a 2-run ground rule double to the hill.

    Foltynewicz came on in the 4th and was at 94-97 with his fastball. Hit 98 once. Threw 4 curves (2 75 , 1 76, and 1 78), and an 83 MPH slider struck out Wellington Castillo.
