    Don't be too harsh on a rookie pitcher who had a bad game. This will be his humbled experience since gaining rookie of the month and he'll be fine. He has a few more starts to prove it.

    Still don't know how they didnt give an error to Pena. Unfortunately for Spencer all 9 of those run are credited to him.

    Joe Espada really needs to warm up 2 Starting Pitchers, before the Game.

    A Backup Starting Pitcher is needed, Seth Martinez, Forrest Whitley can handle those innings.

    9 runs is ridiculous, 4 runs is the limit in the First Inning before pulling him.

    I remember in Cincinnati they have mound problem. Maybe still have the same issue.

    Huge losing streak to the Reds.

    Official scorer trying to help out the home team's batting average.

    On side note. What happened to Pena. He's been an error machine lately.

    Yeah I would be pissed if I were Spencer. That cost him 6 runs. It was definitely an error and an embarrassing one at that.

    Seems he’s put on so much muscle onto his frame, that he’s lost a lot of his fluid motion on his throws.

    I hope it doesn’t become like a Josh Howard situation where he put on so much muscle that he lost the gracefulness to his game. After a while he was so clumsy and rigid.

    Going back to Peña, who as a shortstop, but lacking that graceful touch to his throws, errors are bound to escalate.

    It was a clear error....no idea why it was ruled a hit to begin with.

    Great. That totally erases Spencer ******** the bed. Lol. Whew! It's cool guys! He only allowed 19 runs instead of 25 runs last start.

    But Pena was just told to give back his gold glove. The Yin and the Yang of it.

    I think he has the "it" factor and will turn out to be dominant. Pitching has been an Astro's strong point. Imagine if all our injured pitchers were healthy. Can you say WS.
