Astros @ Phillies

Any news on Ensberg and/or Pettitte?

 

Pettitte had a swollen foot, but is not expected to miss his next start. Good news. Ensberg is day to day.

 

According to Garner, they both are fine. That's important.

 

lidge should throw a "mr.snappy" on the side

the opposing hitters would never see it coming.

 

CHOOO CHOOO!

HR BIGGIO in the first, his second time in a row doing that to Liber!@

 

Even when Willy makes great catches, they look awkward. Beltran made it look so smooth.

 

Pitches-strikes: Oswalt 22-20, Lieber 45-29.
That's incredible LoL

 

That is true. Like that leaping catch of his at MMP the other night, it was a fantastic catch...best of the year for him. BUT, it wasn't very smooth.

 

Horrible call. O had him out!!!!!

 

That run could be the great diference in this game.

 

What do the umps have against us? We keep getting terrible calls. WTF?

 

wasn't even bang bang

Lofton was clearly out

 

Man o man... the ump blew that call there on Lofton's AB.

 

The Phillies 2-strike hitting approach is terrible.....no wonder the Astros have owned them. When you're free-swinging no matter what the count or the situation, you're in trouble against our pitching. We feast on hitters swinging at 2-strike crap because all of the Big 3 have put-away pitches that are out of the zone: Roger's splitter, Andy's cutter and Roy's curveball.

 

And thus, they've now started swinging at the first or second pitches... and they're doing pretty good.

 

So far, this game is basically a carbon copy of the one these two played in Houston when it was Oswalt vs. Lieber.... so far.

 

only with our typical anemic offense
