I'll start this off? It looks like we got a new Pitcher. According to Yahoo, Astros starter Woody Woodward pitched pretty effectively yesterday.
LOL, if he was on the yanks, the article would have said "potential cy-young candidate, Woody Williams".
Nice. Also, the Indians mlb.com reporter said Astros SS Carl Everett had an RBI single yesterday. But I haven't seen him in Kissimmee this spring, so I don't think he exists.
OK so it's early, these games are largely meaningless & all that...but it's kinda nice that the 3 most disappointing Stros last year - Lidge, Lane & Ensberg - have all shown *something* in the first 3 games.
I was really hoping to get Bernstein to be a backup catcher. Maybe Wolf Blitzer can backup AE at short.
The Anti-Ausmus: Yesterday, Injun catchers Martinez & Rose combined to go 5-5, with 5 runs & 5 RBI. Today, Pudge is 3-3 with at least 1 of each.
So maybe I spoke too soon earlier. Or maybe not. Will be interesting to hear if he was working on a particular pitch today, he may have been throwing nothing but fastballs, or he may have been fiddling with his new 2-seamer/cutter/sinker for all I know Results, grain of salt & whatnot.
