Astros Baseball Talk

[ELCABALLO45]

Oswalt is not what he used to be. Taking 2 out of 3 on the road would be awesome.

 

Hopefully Gamel starts tonight but I doubt it.

[patrickgpe]

according to brewers.com it's going to be hall tonight... Gamel I think has earned another start. He took the first pitch to right last night. Very Impressive.

[Mr QL]

over/under 3 Ks for Billy tonight

Gamel is a lefty, so going to right shouldn't be impressive. I agree that it was nice to see him hammer a first pitch strike.

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm thinking Billy K's 5 times tonight. He has to one up himself from last night.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

Forget Hall, I'm interested to see how the team responds to the first game of the post-Tony Gwynn Jr. era.

2B Craig Counsell

SS J.J. Hardy

At least Macha dropped Hall down to the 7 slot. Hall has really good numbers against Oswalt. Lets hope he can contribute.

[sargennm]

Forget Hall, I'm interested to see how the team responds to the first game of the post-Tony Gwynn Jr. era.

LOL. You know there are people out there who think we just traded away the future of the franchise.

 

I'll be interested to see how Hall responds given Macha's postgame comments last night. Maybe he starts to make a better effort at the plate tonight. I think for the first time since he moved to third, he's got to be hearing the footsteps ...

[PrinceEatMeat]

I think you're right. I also think that Hall has until the end of this weekend to pick things up, or he's into a platoon with Gamel. Because I'm predicting Gamel will do well DHing this weekend.

[Brian the Automator]

Wow, they lineup card is totally misspelled. It should say "3B Mat Gamel".

[sbrylski]

Wow, they lineup card is totally misspelled. It should say "3B Mat Gamel".

Yeah, this is rather ridiculous. First big thing I've strongly disagreed with Macha on, his handling of Gamel that is.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Wow, they lineup card is totally misspelled. It should say "3B Mat Gamel".

 

The way mishandled lineup cards have been winning games...maybe that bodes well for us.

 

If not, just give it a week.

[BCZF]

For those special moments.. (use it while watching games, adds a dimension)

Got my "McClung Like a Horse" t-shirt on (7-0 so far). We are golden

[dlk9s]

Suppan has some really nice movement on his pitches so far.

[trwi7]

Hey, it took Hall six pitches to strike out that at bat. We're seeing some improvement!

[moofnelson]

Maybe Hall would see the ball better if he had Lasik surg.....forget it.

[moofnelson]

Peavey rejects trade to White Sox.

[BrewCrewForever]

I have a bad feeling in my stomach about Suppan tonight. And it is not something I ate.

[pebadger]

I think I saw this game last night.

[pebadger]

Whew.

[TheCrew07]

Please Bill... Please.

[pebadger]

Right field, Billy.
