    You know Hidalgo...lol.

    Tony Eusebio was my favorite Astro growing up by the way.

    I had an infatuation with the big man whose mustache game was fire and who only hit balls in the gaps.

    No offense, but I don't think this is that strong of evidence that Pressly should have been avoided. Even if it were a real (minor) effect, Pressly is still a likely better option than Stanek or whoever the next best guy is. It was a high leverage spot in a winnable game, that's when you want to use your best pitchers. Sometimes they give up runs.

    Yes Eusebio was a strange athlete. I always liked him and wanted him to get more at bats. Singles hitting big man. He was like a poor mans John Kruk.

    No offense taken.

    Opinions are allowed and I'm just another person.

    He must be thinking Hidalgo (circ 2000).

    I'm going to be disappointed if you don't change your picture to this badunka dunk soon.

    LOL
    Some of those situations the pitcher was in with a bigger lead just to "get some work in"

    Pressly last year pitching with the game tied threw 7 2/3 innings, gave up 3 hits, 3 bb and struck out 12. That's pretty dominant

    I don'tn like Dubon starting and the Myers over Chas decision stunk...but using Pressly was the right decision and there in fact isn't evidence that a "closer" pitching in a non save situation is a bad idea. Hell many teams don't even use a "closer" anymore

    I agree with your thoughts on Dubon and Meyers starting. Its just game 1 but its disturbing.

    Especially Myers...I mean Dubon in no way should be a starter....but Chas was one of the hero's of our championship team...it's opening freaking day...kind of like a slap in the face

    You and I are in the same exact boat. I really didn't know she was like that...

    I agree. I have no idea what's going on.

    Julks getting a start before Chas?

    Dusty and the Astros must like what they see in Meyers, but I don't get the disrespect to Chas
