I don't expect much out of Chris Johnson despite his gawdy numbers in ST and at RR this season but Feliz is just a waste of roster space. We need to go the Kaz route with Feliz and see what Johnson can do in this lost season.
Kevin Cash just pitched an inning, presumably to save arms for what will be at least a 9-inning bullpen session tomorrow. I don't think they expect Moehler to pitch more than a few innings because he hasn't put in that kind of work all season.
"I don't have my curve right now 100 percent," Rodriguez said. "I don't know what happened with my breaking ball." "I had bad location, and they were swinging at all my pitches and hitting it well," Rodriguez said. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bb/7027617.html Wandy has been saying stuff like this since Spring Training. At some point, you need to figure things out as a top 2 guy in the rotation. He's looking a lot like he did back in his first couple of seasons with the Astros. Hopefully he figures things out at some point. Some teams would have given up at least something for him if he could have built off of his '08 and '09 seasons.
I don't know what to do. I want to them to lose every game so they fire Ed Wade, trade Oswalt, Berkman, Myers, Feliz, and whoever else has trade value. I also want them to have the number 1 pick so they could be in position to draft Rice 3rd baseman Anthony Rendon who I think could be like Evan Longoria . At the same time while I want them to lose, I want the players who could be traded to play well so they have high trade value.
Completely possible with this squad. With Roy and Bret dishing out quality starts and Lee and batters 6-9 not giving any run support, its completely possible. I think it pretty much a given we are drafting Rendon next year. We need a corner infielder in the worst way, local product, we are the worst team in baseball, he is in out back yard, ect. Its like the perfect storm to get him.
Funny how everyone knew it was a bad idea to bring Moehler back........except the Astros. Thanks Ed! Pugs
They added a 2pt conversion. They've put up 23 runs on us in less than 12 innings. We are dead last in every single significant offensive category and our pitching is now slipping toward the bottom. Our defensive efficiency rating is second worst in the NL.
I'm not sure why all these posts are coming out about how we should have never brought Mo back. He's in the long relief/mop up role. He was forced into this start. Why waste one of our AAA pitchers to pitch in his role, in which they would rarely get outings, and would not get their regular AAA starts.
And another HR... the Reds' 5th of the night. 10-1. This time off the bat of former unsigned Astros draft pick, Drew Stubbs.
