    Foltynewicz and Kvasnicka. They're both named Michael.

    Those are tough names to get though.

    Imagine the name hackage we will be hearing if and when those two make it to the big leagues?

    How about Kaz for Kvasnicka?

    He'll be the Asian Kaz Matsui according to Carl Herrera.

    Never invoke that name around here again. Just doing so causes me to have spasms in my lower back and my blood pressure shoots up.

    I start pretending to swing a bat but do it like I'm a samurai. Episodes last between 10 and 30 seconds.

    The trade activity by the front office has stimulated a great deal of player movement throughout the Astros minor leagues.

    Relancon was assigned to Round Rock and Paredes was assigned to Lexington.
    JB Shuck got the call from Corpus to RR.
    Altuve was promoted from Lexington to High-A Lancaster
    Cartwright was promoted from Lexington to Corpus

    Crazy weekend. The Astros are a different organization today.

    Altuve will probably put up some big numbers in Lancaster and the Cal League. I wouldn't be surprised to see a low to mid .900 OPS for however long he's there.

    I'm interested to see how Cartwright progresses after putting up good number in Lexington. Maybe a possible 2B solution for the next few years.

    Good to see. Folty pitched well last night I believe it was.

    Lyles had a kind of rough stretch, which should be expected everything considered.

    His delivery is very smooth and effortless. He's got his breaking stuff working and has generally stayed down in the zone.
