That was fantastic. Orbit is the best mascot in baseball.

That was fun.

I can only assume that Junction "JarJar" Jack was KO'd by an Albert Pujols doll & no one came to his rescue. Good riddance.

I knew a guy who tried to argue that Junction Jack was better than "this bull **** new mascot". Needless to say, I don't think he knew much about the stros.

Orbit is the man though

Did Junction Jack ever do anything at the games? I never saw that mascot except for an animation of it on the scoreboard.

The uniforms and classic overhaul is the redeeming quality for the Crane ownership. That was well done.

However the team still sucks.

Wow. ESPN's weekly power rankings are terrible. After going 5-2 against the A's and Jays, they still have us at 29th. The Astros were one half inning away from sweeping their number one team. Just shows how clueless they are;

Hader and Hernandez promoted to AA. Can't wait to see how Hader fares after his dominant year in Lancaster.

I like that Hader kid. He has a lot of potential.

5 hits out of AJ Reed's 6 hits at QC have been extra base hits. Average is .222 but his OPS is above .900.

Hader could prove to be a hidden gem in the Bud Norris trade.

Hopefully Hader is a gem because we didn't get much in return with L.J. Hoes

We got a "Let's go Hoes" extra innings chant that I will never forget. Good times

And when he is on the bench, you can have the ever classic sign:

LJ Hoes was the throw-in to the Norris trade.


The prize in that trade was Hader and the comp pick, Derek Fisher. He's slashing .354/.449/.442 with great speed, 13 SB to 1 CS in 24 games).

Pretty good article about why the Astros could trade Cosart: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/hou/pitching-depth-benefits-houston-astros-at-trade-deadline?ymd=20140804&content_id=87957420&vkey=news_hou

Only part I don't agree with:

quote:
RHP Peacock (3-7, 4.93 ERA): Peacock began the season in the rotation, but didn't get his first win until his 10th start on May 18 against the White Sox. Prior to getting sent down after his July 23 start at Oakland, Peacock had struggled with an 8.40 ERA in his previous four starts. Still, the club still sees potential in Peacock, who went 2-3 with a 3.71 ERA in 11 starts from April 20-June 27, to feel comfortable trading Cosart and giving him another shot.


I don't like Peacock at all. He doesn't throw strikes. He'll have a pitch count of 80 by the 3rd inning. Why do they continue to try this guy? He's terrible.

And in regards to the power rankings. Analysts are so used to just putting us at 30 for the past 3 years, that they can't see any different. I'm amazed we are keeping this up without Fowler and Springer. I can't wait to see a lineup starting off with Fowler, Altuve, Springer, and the Carter that is hitting right now.

Mark Appel is back in action today. Current line is 4.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K.

Not as good as last outing but definitely still infinitely better than his starts a month ago
