Bud Norris pitched a great game, i am very happy for the guy, i have him in my strat team.
Now, Towles, i don't like his approach at the plate, he hits a very weak .100 average. Does not swing at strkes and swings at balls. He does not give you line drives out, just weak fly balls or ground balls.
Jason Castro should be in the majors SOOOOON.

Castro should be in the majors NOW. Towles should be sent down and Quintero's dumb, fat ass should be released.

Is Quintero a bad fielder? At least in the hitting department he is at least a reasonable backup catcher. I think it is crazy that they decide time after time to start Towles and then sit him because he can't hit. He isn't going to start hitting sitting on the bench.

Q is a pretty good defensive catcher with a plus arm...his trouble has always been lack of hitting.
not too many bases ever stolen on him

So today Towles almost wins the game single-handedly. Of course Oswalt pitched a great game which was no surprise to me. I was pleased we went with the relief. Lyon pitched terrible but Sampson got the big out and then Lindstrom gave us a great inning. I hope tomorrow Wandy gets on track.

The trouble with Towles is that it might anywhere from two weeks to a month before he gets another hit. He used up about a month's worth today. Quintero is good for filling his plate at the post-game buffet and that is about it. He should have been shipped out of here a LONG time ago. The fact that we are keeping Castro in the minors while we play a couple of do-nothings like Towles and Quintero boggles the mind.

It could have been the pitcher today that got Towles going, but it could have been that he got something figured out. We will just have to wait and see. I hope he got something figured out. It is like Bourn, I had pretty much given up on him.

well, towles had a very good game at chicago, is a pity he can't do it more often. Jason Castro had 2 singles tonight at Round Rock, we need him to be our 7th hitter in the lineup. Matsui does not look like he is playing much. He was a SS in Japan, can he play that potion in the majors? //

Lots of people here complained last year that he couldn't play 2b very well. I am not sure, Vega, but I think you were one of them. I don't get to see them play much so I couldn't say. There were times that I thought he helped our offense.
