Brad Penny hit all those guys? Pitch got away from him, nothing intentional, and the Astros know it. Sh!tty luck, but that's all it is. If Penny was headhunting (ala the Cubs) it would be very different. From the quotes I heard from Purp & Garner, they view Bruntlett as filling the Viz role from last year, and Burke as strictly an emergency guy at SS. I'd imagine they'd bring up McEwing to cover for Bruntlett on the bench (that's why they got him). Could be wrong.
Adam broke his hand? You are kidding me? DANG !! And it looked like he had finally figured out how to hit........ DD
Sorry... I get pissed off about sH!tty luck, and I stop thinking rationally about things. Quall call...
Penny is working over that outside corner (which is probably why Everett wasn't looking for the pitch inside). Looks like Preston is getting into a groove... and he took the pitch the other way.
Guy at the bar just came in & said radio announced that Xrays are negative on AE...bruised wrist is all. Can anybody confirm? Whew, if true. Wilson looks like a different guy in the box the past 2 games.
btw... xray's negative on Adam... just a bruise. Good news. Confirmed BT... they said it on the telecast.
NICE! Men at 2nd and 3rd 1 out. Intentional walk to Bruntlet. BASES LOADED 1 out. LETS" GO STROS!!! ...sorry for the PBP, but man this is gettime me excited. LET'S GO LAMB!!!!
good call, but he nailed that ball. 99 out of 100 times that's a base hit up the middle, esp. against kent.. geez the ump was even in the way until the last second. WP! score!
He hit the ball on the screws up the middle... a screaming liner that if Kent doesn't stab has a shot of going to the wall. I'm fine with a guy hitting the ball that hard every time he comes to bat... if he does that more often than not, we'll be fine.
