Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts. 8-20 J.A.

I was about to comment about how CJ maybe coming back down to earth then he does that...HUSTLE!!! :grin:
If I heard correctly earlier, Anibal Sanchez has the lowest ERA against us of any pitcher with 3 or more starts. And Hanley Ramirez has the highest average against us of all active players.
Boom, Castro nails another runner! He just needs to work on his low blocking skills. I think part of that problem is due to his height, another part due to him being young and fatigued at this point in the season, and another part due to adjusting to new pitchers. Overall, I think he's been very impressive defensively.
I can live with Castro and Wallace's struggles while they adjust to the big leagues because they both have been very good defensively. Castro needs to get down on those balls in the dirt but that can be accomplished.
Anibal Sanchez had a 0.96 ERA in 3 starts (18.2 IP) against us coming into this game where he's gone 3 scorelss so far. Hanley Ramirez had a .402 AVG and 1.132 OPS in 27 games (123 PA) against us coming into this game where he's gone 1-for-2 with a 2B so far.
Stros in a SLUMP but the pitching has been fantastic. I can honestly say the pitching has me pumped for next season. The young hitters will have their ups and downs but good pitching will make things VERY tolerable.
Galaragga has been perfect through 4 and like last time, he's facing the Indians in Detroit. I doubt Joyce is at 1st but have no idea. I hope I jinx him since he's playing the Indians. Edit: Successful jinx as the Indians break up the perfecto with a doble of their own with 2 outs in the 5th.
Storm could be good or bad. Good if we resume and Anibal Sanchez is done. He owns us. Bad if the game goes final obviously.
Actually.... alysonfooter The grounds crew is back on the field to take the tarp off. That short shower was most unfortunately b/c now Happ is likely done.
Yea, it did sound different than I imagined. Do you have to live in the Houston area to get these Spotlight shows and other FSNH programming regularly? I live in Katy and the station always blacks out shortly after Rockets and Stros games.
