Houston Astros VS Florida Marlins : Spring Training Game 24

Your Houston Astros take on the Florida Marlins today at 12:05PM CST.  The Astros send Roy Oswalt and his 2.40 ERA(this spring training) against Andrew Miller of the Fish.

Last time out, Roy-O put up his best outing of spring training by going 6 full innings, giving up no hits and striking out 7 against the Braves.

The Astros offense over the last 3 outings have scored 24 runs and won 3 in a row.  

Sounds like a beautiful day today in Florida; 76 degress, sunny with a nice breeze.

  1. Astros Lineup
  2. Pence, RF

  3. Loretta, 3B

  4. Berkman, 1B

  5. Lee, LF

  6. Tejada, SS

  7. Blumb, 2B

  8. Abercrombie, CF

  9. Ausmus, C

  10. Oswalt, P
Looks like Cooper has his rotation mostly set. Woody Williams still hasn't secured a spot.
The rotation will begin with Roy Oswalt, with Brandon Backe following as the No. 2, Wandy Rodriguez as the projected No. 3 and Shawn Chacon as the No. 4.

The fifth spot is up for grabs, with three contenders still in the running: Woody Williams, Jack Cassel and Chris Sampson.

"That could change," Cooper warned. "As the next week unfolds, that's how it's looking right now."

Good for Coop. I'm pulling for Sampson to get the 5th starter spot and am happy that Cooper isn't just giving Woody the 5th spot.

No score....
after 1 inning.  I won't be able to do PBP because I am busy on work stuff.

Pence with standup triple
His 2d hit.  On an unrelated topic, I read that Lidge is making a quick recovery from surgery and may make opening day for the Phillies.  He pitched an inning yesterday...4 batters faced with 3 Ks and 1 BB, which isn't bad for his first outing.

i read the same thing; pretty astounding i think.

Wasted triple...

Roy O was hit hard...
in the 4th inning.  Gave up 4 runs on singles, doubles.  

Cruz, Jr. hit a 2 run HR to bring the score to 4-2.

Cruz doubles...
almost a HR (6th inning).  But he is caught in a run down on a grounder by Erstad.

Also, Borkowski gave up
1 run in his stint, making it 5-2, Marlins.

Uggla HR.

8-3 in the 9th.
Geary got hit some in that inning.  One more chance for Astros' hitters.

funny story from MIlo
He said they were visiting with Luis Gonzalez near the kitchen crew. Someone dropped a skillet, and Gonzo, quick on the draw, said, "will someone pick up my glove?"

Ah
that's more like the Astros team I know. :p
Lee, Pence, HGH in '08
