Happ has a good pitcher that he is facing again. Anibel Sanchez has been good and good lately. His team is evidently having trouble scoring runs just like we are because his record isn’t that good. Therefore we should look forward to a tough game and unless Happ performs well we will probably lose. The Marlins have the same record as the Mets but we are playing them there. This should be a tough series.

It doesn't seem like we are going to break the Marlins win streak tonight. We haven't been able to hit anything again. This is getting kindof old. I wonder when we will get the bats going again. They really pounded Fulchino, and now we have Abad pitcher in who is giving up runs too. Who will they put in next, Aworse pitcher?

Fulchino has been a big disappointment this year.

Today's game is Volstad and Rodriguez. This game on the surface seems like the Astros should have a chance since our pitcher has been better than the other pitcher lately, however since it is in Florida, and we haven't been hitting the ball, don't expect the Astros to score many runs. I would guess that Rodriguez is going to have to be perfect to win this one. I have little hope.
I should mention that Happ has continued to show promise. He pitched a good game and had a few control lapses which cost him. He needs to keep his concentration and sustain that trying to be more efficient and throw less pitches.

I wouldn't give up on Fulchino yet. He pitched well the other day, I don't know why he was so poor last night.

Johnson is a very good bat, awful D.

The Astros lost again. I predicted it though I didn't say it straight out. We are going to get swept. We can't hit the ball. Figuaroa against Nolasco, it looks impossible to me the way we are hitting. We still aren't anywhere close to being able to beat decent teams. This team has a long way to go.

We couldn't hit a guy named Miller who has one of the worst all time pro records. This is getting pretty miserable.

Pitching and Pence saved us there from the sweep. Bourn had a good game for a change. I think Figueroa might win a position on the rotation. He has really been good. He doesn't waste too many pitches. He isn't all over the strike zone like Happ. He and Lopez have been the big story.
Someone ought to teach Lopez to speak some English. If they want to hire me, I will do it.

I like Figueroa a lot, i don't think he should be in the rotation full time, but i love to keep him in my pitching staff, he can do everything, start, long relieve or 7th inning guy.

It is surprising anybody would let a guy like that go on waivers. He definately has been someone worth keeping.

Agree.
Other pitcher i think we should give a try in Houston is Fernando Cabrera.

How about Abad? We haven't seen much from him but what we have seen has been pretty bad.
