He didn't look ready for the party all right. I am sure he is sufficiently humbled now, and knows some things he must work on to succeed at the major league level.

 

Sometimes I would almost rather this happen with young players right out of the chute. What's irritating to me (and frustrating for the player, I'm sure) is when a hitter comes up and tears the cover off the ball for a month or two, sets an unrealistic bar for his production, and never comes anywhere close to reaching that level again. Sometimes it takes a couple of years before everyone comes to terms with the fact that the guy just had a hot couple of months to start his career.

 

Only one today

 

Are we sure it isn't April?

 

Richards definitely has something on top of his hat that he touches every once in a while .

 

somebody oughtta tell him that he doesn't need to.

 

Yeah but who knows how hard he actually throws without it , remember Pineda for the Yankees dropped about 5-6 mph off his fastball without using it

 

God, a 3 run lead feels like a whole lot with this team

 

It never ceases to amaze me when Ashby and Blum marvel at how Pitcher X is able to have so many strike outs or how the Astros seem to run into a good stretch of pitching from the opposition.

 

I realize we're not good yet, but the losing still sucks.

 

Particularly when it's preceded by a run of good play that got us all excited about the future.
