Oh look...the Astros everyone's been talking about showed up tonight.
Not the Astros. One freaking player just like last night. Team is working their ass off and the older guys and their old habits keep biting us in the ass.
Damage control. Gotta get this guy.
I know we're rebuilding, but it really is hard for me to accept that Wandy is our #1. I wonder how long this process is going to last.
...and it's only the second series of the year.

damn. I thought Marwin hit a grand salami there.
Just a little too quick. Close, though.
No ability for clutch hitting
This game is officially a success. We got Chipper out!
Feels like the first time in about 10 years we've been able to get him out.
I dont care what hes done to us, I really respect Chipper. Makes me miss having Biggio.
Altuve picked off at 2nd. Wilson blocked the base or else it was a tie and Altuve probably safe but couldnt get to the bag.
This team just doesnt have it.

Wow, wilson actually tagged his own foot and never touched altuve.
Rhiner Cruz looking good in that inning. Where did this guy come from?

I believe in the Rule 5 draft last year? I think I heard JD say that.
Really cant get any luckier for the Braves..
JD Martinez slams a hard single up the middle and hits the shoe of the pitcher. Instead of two on 1 out and a run scored we get 1 on 2 outs and a run scored.
Now.. Prado is out at third but ball hits the runner. Hitter gets to second.

Astros win! We got Chipper out twice!
Oh wait, Wandy sucked and we cant score with runners in scoring position.

Alright kids we got one back.
Matt Downs
Ruggiano and Wallace are in AAA while Downs is up here providing absolutely nothing
LOL it's early but the Astros were 1st in batting average w RISP and starting pitching ERA... Makes the above post complaining about both of these things hilarious
Astros really need to get more productivity out of that average though. All those hits tonight and only extra basehit was Martinez's HR.
Our infield has to be the worst in baseball. Between Altuve being 5' tall with no range and Carlos having the agility of a walrus the right side is no question the worst in baseball. I really like what Marwin has shown at the plate, but he really seems to lack in range as well. CJ is what he is, an average major league 3B with a slightly below average bat.
Schafer has been looking great at the plate, and has good speed but he really has a hard time judging the ball when it's in the air. He makes routine running catches look difficult, last night it cost us by keeping the inning alive when the Braves scored 3 runs to take the lead. Also, last night he was on second with one out (forget who was at bat) and froze when a ball was hit in front of Bourne that was clearly going to fall. He had to hold up at third and if I remember right he never scored.
Schafer can work on this and get better, I'm hoping Lowrie will get a little more range out there at SS without too much offensive drop off from Marwin. If not, it's going to be a long season again.

JD Martinez has looked pretty good so far. I think he has a bright future here
Hope Harrell can emulate his first game tonight.
Downs
Nice early lead for the colts. Schafer with a steal and lowrie with his first hit and rbi as a colt
nice HR for Martinez
We're now 0-6 this season with bases loaded
Somebody hurry Singleton. Lee is addition through subtraction. He has choked or cost us a run in almost ever game this season.

Tee ball. Sometimes it looks like ****ing tee ball.
We need to get back in the win column tonight. Astro killer Carlos Zambrano is standing in the way.
zambrano killer carlos lee with a rbi single in the first
2 on 1 out
2 on 1 out
ump helping out zambrano with these strike calls on bogey
Bases loaded woes continue. CJ strikes out.
Back to back strikeouts with bases juiced.
****!
