Im a Astros fan and use to being disappointed every year weather they win only 70 games or make it to the world series. Im not embarassed by it either [/quote] I agree but I have never felt this bad going into a season. Do I expect them to be in the playoffs every year, no? I do expect that they try to be competitive, and this year they made no moves to get better. I understand Drayton is selling the team, but it is still disappointing. I am not a Drayton basher either, because for the most part he has tried some moves that didn't work out as they should have. I am old enough to remember when McMullen owned the team, now that was a bad owner, still hate New Jersey to this day. Never forgive them for not extending Nolan's contract. I was there when Scott pitched the no-hitter and I can tell you the city went wild. So with a reason to cheer the city will. With that being said I am still an Astro's fan and always will be. Now let me get back to the roster so I can figure out who some of these guys are. [/quote] IMO, not extending Ryan's contract is the dumbest move ever made in baseball...modern years at least. Nolan could've sucked and still filled the seats w/ every start.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="994120" timestamp="1302147219"] PM19, I don't know that they'll go 0-162, but they sure will make a good run at 100 losses this year. [/quote] The over/under is 71 1/2....load up on the under gentlemen.

Thanks for the update.

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="994022" timestamp="1302126713"] Dropping game one, 0-4 start, long year. [/quote] Even worse is how the Stros are losing.......not really even competitive except for opening day. Yesterday was ugly.

As for 07 dont get mad cause i know a lot about baseball and you are catching up with it one by one. who votes right handed hitters hit the ball off lefties better cause they see the ball off their fingers? not 07 [/quote] I need your summer schedule...know someone that wants to meet you. [/quote] Good come back. it is alright. some people have baseball smarts and some dont. [/quote] I've forgotten more about baseball than you know, son. BTW, nothing has changed. Your lame attempt at humor and sarcasm does nothing for me. I'm out.

[quote name="GeeGanderdad" post="992590" timestamp="1301929687"] Calm down BOH I was being a smart butt from all the "BH PARENT"talk about how they can hit the fast pitching better than slow pitching, this was by no means a jab at Jeremy.The kid is a beast and I sho will be one of his followers when he moves on to the next level.So with that being said have fun playing the better team and see yall in Crosby......I LOVE BASEBALL..... [/quote] GEE.....I see that you realize that is a BH player running his mouth all the time and not a parent. I will call you tonight.....looking for quality soph year players for the summer.

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="991557" timestamp="1301688835"] game 1 Lester vs Wilson [/quote] Should be a good one.

[/quote] Actually he had pretty good year last year but this mindset that you live or die by your closer is a JOKE. Five or six straight singels? may want to warm someone up there mills. [/quote] I agree....might want to get another arm in there. Geez !

Think I'll take Brenham in this one.  ;)

[quote name="bmtball" post="991535" timestamp="1301687134"] OK, thats why we dont do it either. ;D [/quote] now that's funny right there.  ;)

Is Lyon in triple-AAA yet ?

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="991540" timestamp="1301687574"] 4-4, what a closer. [/quote] No doubt...Myers performance gets him a big ol no-decision. Nice.  ::) ::)

When I saw this story, I was thinking the same thing. "Man, don't throw to me, my girlfriend put a hex on my glove." [/quote] .......and nobody knows what to get Jimmy and Millie for a wedding present. We're dealing with a lot of stuff out here.

[quote name="Diamond-J" post="990728" timestamp="1301515691"] While I don't care to elaborate as to what caused Smesny's injury I will give an update since his name has been mentioned. Frank has been medically released and is about 85% finished with rehab. He is throwing on the mound again, progressing rapidly, and will pitch with Kyle Chapman this summer and see where it goes. [/quote] Your ears burnin'  ;D ;D Glad to hear Frank is throwing again. Try to give you a call later this afternoon. 

[quote name="Yearof thePat!" post="989846" timestamp="1301431589"] They are not answering questions. Questions mean your scared. [/quote] ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[quote name="BaseballWarrior" post="990431" timestamp="1301494171"] [quote author=Ty Cobb link=topic=82460.msg990403#msg990403 date=1301491205] In my opinion a pitch count is nothing more than a guide to go by.  What is right for some, may not be right for all.  It all depends on the player.  Some player's are in better shape (pitching shape) than others.  [/quote] agreed... I don't believe in a definitive number, pitch count is relative. Once their mechanics start to falter, or they begin "overthrowing" to compensate for tiredness, time to come out. To be honest, no matter the pitch count, if the pitcher is maintaining proper mechanics and not really showing signs of fatigue, no reason to pull him.  A good coach learns their pitchers, knows their mechanics, and understands when a pitcher is nearing their limit. However, overusing a pitcher is a completely different story. If a pitcher goes out and starts for 4-7 hard innings, he should not start, and possibly not relieve on Friday(circumstantial-relief). You have to give their arm sufficient time to rest. [/quote] Well said Warrior.....

[quote name="whattheheck" post="990383" timestamp="1301488950"] Smesny injury was ue to poor mechanics not pitch count. [/quote] It was both.... You can throw Andy Dewey's name in there also.

I anticipate a really close one here..... ;)

[quote name="shs85" post="987670" timestamp="1300976043"] Just a update on Blake! Batting .313 for the year and .412 in Conference Play! Second on team in runs scored and second in rbi's! Headed up first of April to catch some Conference Games! [/quote] Nice job. I need to give you a call tonight....touch base w/ you about summer ball.
