    If it was a good throw, it's automatic, provided Munson doesn't drop it. An average throw... I think gets the out, but it's iffy. I'm just personally amazed how Springer managed to overthrow Munson by a few feet when he was standing five feet away. That takes skill.

    Down to 9 outs. Come on bats, get some late inning hits like you did yesterday.

    Winning the series is nice but a sweep would be SWEET! :D

    it's his first start, give him a break. and that rookie league team is still 1st place in their division, that's something at least.

    Yeah, but nothing really changed because of it. I do hate it when people do that though.

    I really don't understand why Albers was starting today. It should have been Sampson and they should have sent Albers down.

    Guy gets called up and pitches a one-hitter and then doesn't get another chance. Sounds like a Jeff Van Gundy move to me.

    Well, you just knew we couldn't win three in a row. The Astros aren't that good.

    Atleast we won 2 in a row, a feat that we hadn't done in over a month.

    GO STROS!

    A sweep would have been awesome, but a series win is almost equally important. If they can win the series against the D'Backs, which they SHOULD considering whose pitching, they'll be 4-2 on the road trip and that is positive.

    I posted this like a million times and no one reponded to it..so I am going to respond to your post..Thanks Aceshigh7...your exactly right...Sampson pitched a 1- hitter and was sent back now hes with the club and for what ? Aalbers just isn't ready and at least Sampson showed us a 1- hitter...I just don't get it...Man don'y you guys work I missed posting today... :)

    The Astros just can't beat rookie pitchers...They own us. Now put some All-Stars in there like Woody and Peavy and we win...Just don't get it :(

    Sampson didn't pitch a 1-hitter - he pitched a 7 inning 3 hitter. Albers pitched a 5 inning 2-hitter in his last outing, so he was just as ready. Sampson had a 3-hitter, but he also had a 2-inning 3-run performance and a 5 inning, 3 run performance. It's not like Sampson had been any more impressive in his brief stint in the majors than Albers.

    FYI Greg Maddux has a no hitter thru 6 in his Dodgers debut.
