    As a defensive player Jake has it all. Great athlete, incredible range, strong arm, and accurate.

    I prefer Worth over Kemp because the 25th guy will not play much, and i prefer to see Kemp playing daily.

    Now, Kemp did a good job in the major, we can count on him for the future.

    Is Altuve on any kind of epic hitting or on-base streak?

    I was impressed with Orlando, he looks like a fine player. He hit a single from a great change up that Devenski threw that i have not seen others do.

    His batting stance and frame reminds me a lot of Alex Rios

    It's so weird seeing Valbuena hitting near .260. Awesome series so far.

    I was right, look at me. I'm so smart. I predicted a thing that is unreasonable to predict

    (Solid game by all, including Reed)

    Reed was pretty solid in his debut. Good at working the count and drawing a couple of walks. Made some solid contact and unlucky on line drives.

    Yep, the Astros played a brutal schedule though May, now the worm is turning in our favor. A lot of games against .500 or worse teams in July, and after this upcoming Angels series, 22 of the next 31 games are at MMP.

    A chance to really make some hay and put ourselves in a good spot before the schedule stiffens up again. It isn't as if we've struggled with good teams, aside from the Rangers of course. By my count we are 10-9 against the other top AL teams.

    Since the Astros started 7-17, they're 31-10 vs anyone not named the South Oklahoma Ramgers.
