[Official] Astros Spring Training

Woodward was a solid addition.

His work in the Watergate thing was notable, too.

 

I knew he was getting up there in age but damn if he isn't in his 70's. That's pretty impressive.

 

LOL, if he was on the yanks, the article would have said "potential cy-young candidate, Woody Williams".

 

1 more month baby!

 

I'd rather have this pitcher.

 

Who starts today against the Tigers?

 

You're late.

Where have you been?

 

Nice. Also, the Indians mlb.com reporter said Astros SS Carl Everett had an RBI single yesterday.

But I haven't seen him in Kissimmee this spring, so I don't think he exists.

 

Awesome.

 

Homer by Ensberg today.

 

OK so it's early, these games are largely meaningless & all that...but it's kinda nice that the 3 most disappointing Stros last year - Lidge, Lane & Ensberg - have all shown *something* in the first 3 games.

 

sign of good things to come, hopefully. we need mo's bat back.

 

I was really hoping to get Bernstein to be a backup catcher.

Maybe Wolf Blitzer can backup AE at short.

 

awesome!

 

The Anti-Ausmus:

Yesterday, Injun catchers Martinez & Rose combined to go 5-5, with 5 runs & 5 RBI. Today, Pudge is 3-3 with at least 1 of each.

 

Anyone else having issues with 790's streaming? I can't get a connection at home or work.

 

Lidge gave up 4 runs on 3 hits in an inning, including a homer. At least it's early.

 

good to see his mechanics are corrected

 

So maybe I spoke too soon earlier. Or maybe not.

Will be interesting to hear if he was working on a particular pitch today, he may have been throwing nothing but fastballs, or he may have been fiddling with his new 2-seamer/cutter/sinker for all I know Results, grain of salt & whatnot.
