At least he's real young so he can be part of the next relevant Astros team in 2016 or so. Oh... nevermind... he turns 29 in a few months.
Exactly how I see it. Plus, it's unlikely that we'll be contending for the playoffs within the next 4 years or so. We still have a long way to...
The one thing about Pence is that he's a good athlete for a power-type hitter. He should maintain his bat speed longer than the average player....
You start to appreciate Q's defensive skills when you see a guy like Corporan struggling to throw a ball online and without bouncing to 2nd base.
I still haven't seen his wife. I've been flipping back and forth between stations.
Pence hitting .331.
Bud in line for a much deserved win.
Jeff Keppinger vs RHP: 2011: .278/.307/.320 (.627 OPS) Career: .262/.318/.350 (.668 OPS) That is the biggest reason why most teams do not...
I mentioned this last time we faced Morton, but his new delivery looks a lot like that of Halladay. The mechanics are eerily similar.
It's true that the Pirates have been in the dumps for ages but as a franchise, they've been to 7 World Series and won 5. Those 5 wins are good for...
That was an Oswalt-like offspeed pitch.
Keppinger just saved Wandy's ass there. That would've been real ugly. Prob another run and still only 1 out with a man on 2nd or 3rd.

I don't think anybody was saying that we shouldn't have moved Berkman. We should've done it sooner actually. Same with Oswalt.
r934, We're all ultimately on the same side here. I just didn't like some of the stuff directed at him in recent years, not just in this forum...
Except that I for one don't believe that Berkman let himself go. I think the injuries hampered him. He also had a shoulder problem coming into the...
In what baseball universe is a .380 OBP mediocre? That is borderline elite. Here is your post which doesn't include what he's done over the...
In what baseball universe is a .380 OBP mediocre? That is borderline elite. And in that period that you highlighted, Berkman still had a higher...
I'm happy for him. He'll always be an Astro. [IMG]
Well, this should cheer you up... Berkman has hit 4 HRs in his last 4 games and once again leads the NL in OPS. There's been talk about him...
