And I thought some of you guys were bad (Astros related)

Yeppers, tied for 1st in the NL in fielding % as a team.

Tied for 1st in least number of errors for the team

Also we are at the top of the league in not allowing steals.

In addition, the number of Team steals is almost as much now as we had all year last year. We are currently tied for 3rd in number of steals.


Now pitching is a very big concern but we are still middle of the pack in ERA and WHIP. However we are 6th with K/BB ratio.

Just an FYI...

 

You have to win at some point to get the loyal fans.

 

Finally back to bashing the Rangers! Richie Sexton had to fill in on the bashing while yall got off subject.


for three pages...

 

You'd think... But casual fans don't LIKE pitching duels. They want the looooooong ball.

Which two? Defense hasn't been terrible, but it will most certainly go right back to it once Wigginton is back. Michael Bourne was a great addition in center... You're right about defense up the middle. But lousy defense anywhere is unacceptable. I'm not nor will I ever be a fan of the addition of Carlos Lee. I will ALWAYS root for the Astros, but I don't like having the Shaq of the Astros on the team. He's slow and a lousy defender... and will only get slower and lousier (all the while getting paid more and more). Hemorrhoid has been less than exciting (but that was to be expected). Chacon is the best pitcher on staff.
That said, they haven't been turbl on defense this far. But I am very doubtful they'll be able to keep it up.

lol, nope! Not really! Good LORD, Hedo Turkoglu is taking OVER. The Astros fail each season they don't win the world series. That's the goal of any baseball season, and if they don't reach that goal, they failed it. That doesn't make watching the 'Stros any less ENJOYABLE though...
