2008 - Kyle Kendrick 1-1 2 2 0 0 0 0 7.1 12 11 5 0 8 1 6.14 2.73

From what I've heard, Roy thinks he found a hitch in his step that could be the reason he hasn't been as effective this year as he has been in the past.  We'll see tonight as Roy tries to avoid being 0-4 for the 1st time in his career.  Tonight isn't a make or break night for Roy(meaning, if he does bad tonight, he won't be packing his bags for Round Rock), but it would very good for him and the Astros if he would come out and have a typical Roy-O performance. 

I have a little bit of good news.  From listening to Cooper today on the radio, Valverde was working on his pitching today and shouldn't be available for tonight's game.  Well... it sounds like good news to me.  How he's been pitching lately, he may need to work on his pitching some tomorrow as well...

Bourn steals...

but Loretta fouls it off… I expect a GIDP now.

Nope...

just a line out to RF.

Bourn goes...

pitch out… but he’s there anyway. Apparently not close.

I'm not sure if I like it...

with Berkman up. It opens a base. He runs it full the K’s looking on a pitch apparently not close (according to obviously homerific Radio guys.) But do you want an open base with Carlos “Mr. GIDP” Lee coming up? I dunno.

Lee up, 2 down.

Phear T.S.'s Crawdaddies...

by TexSkins on Apr 16, 2008 6:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Works it full...

as the crowd groans. They liked it, radio guys liked the 1-2 pitch better, but works it full nonetheless.

Rips one down the line in left, off the wall, Bourn scores easily.

1-0.

Hmm… sounds familiar. Think Roy is thinking CG today?

Phear T.S.'s Crawdaddies...

by TexSkins on Apr 16, 2008 6:20 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Already...

it seems like a very weird strike zone. Both the Philly fans I can hear and the radio guys seem to agree… so you know it’s bad.

Miggy K's looking...

but the Astros get 1.

Here comes Roy. Which Roy it’ll be is the real question.

Bourn

Appears to have pulled something when running to 1st. He was definitely showing signs of pain at 1st. The fact that he stole 2nd amazes me.. I’m actually really surprised nobody came out to see how he was doing. He was limping around 1st base and then after stealing 2nd, he was limping around there to. Kind of scarey

Go 'Stros!

Werth, Feliz, Utley...

and Kendrick is already at 27 pitches.

Werth...

takes a strike, then a ball (91 mph fastball) before lining a single to center.

Feliz up… switches spots in the order with Ruiz.

Grounds to 3rd on the first pitch… Blum looks to 2nd before getting an out at 1st.

Utley up. 1 out, runner on 2nd.

Utley...

gets a fastball (92 mph)... not great velocity.

Flies one to left… Bourn gets it in left center… runner to 3rd.

The slow starting Ryan Howard is up...

takes strike 1, then ball 1, then a curve low for ball 2… Big swing and miss for strike 2.

Lines one to center for a single.

1-1.

Tejada gets one deep in the hole...

I don't think

that velocity’s right man. My20 is showing 94 and 95 mph and it looks good.

As for the curveball…

Bourn to Run!

All I got is the radio guy's version...

maybe the ballpark’s velocity is off…

It seemed off for both starters yesterday.

Ausmus is at .143...

must’ve been hot early on… Radio guys talking about how Ausmus is now sure he got him last night. Didn’t make a stink at the time because he wasn’t sure.

The power of replay.

Grounds out to 3rd. Quick top half.

1-1.

Ruiz, Bruntlett, Kendrick...

Kendrick at 34 through 2… He had a very easy inning.

Oswalt seems to be working super quick. Full count to Ruiz… grounds out to Berkman who tosses to Roy.

1 out.

Gun showing 91-94 on the fastball

for Roy… Either the gun is off, or Roy’s lost some speed.. I’m used to seeing 94-96 on the fastball.

Go 'Stros!

Are you watching on my20?

Because the Radio guys make it seem a lot slower.

Bourn up.

Does he still look gimpy?

Burrell up.

Pence up...

Radio guys raving about how Kendrick looks likes he’s on tonight.

Pence swings and misses on… you guessed it, slider, low and away. Takes a ball out there, then swings and misses on yet another slider… low and away.

And he K’s on a slider low and away. Nice. Looking at Gameday, not a single one of the pitches was within 6 inches of the zone.

Radio guys called it: “Hunter is a mess.”

Ausmus bounces one foul. That’s it, Ausmus. Run up the pitch count.

Grounds out to Feliz. Apparently 6 inches too close. I doubt it.

Roy up. Takes 2 strikes. Then a ball outside. K’s on the curve.

Like I said, 2 outs… Bourn up.

Cubs up 4-0 after 1. Soriano isn’t missed.

Apparently Backe was giving Lee’s bat some love. Like rubbing it love. Lovin’ it strong.

So… quickly 0-2. No, 1-1. Radio guys are liars. Now 1-2. Outside for 2-2. No swings yet. Saving it up… for a slow roller to Romero in foul territory. Radio guys commenting that the foul girl has a backup waiting.

I Was Seeing

where Richard Justice thinks that Coop is required to use Carlos for 1400+ innings this year.

Coz he makes 100 million don’t you know. . . .

Not that I blame anything on Carlos Lee, but removing a player like Lee for defense is almost SOP . . . even among managers who refuse to jilt their closer.

Talk about going out of your way to spin for the manager. . . . .

I'll end up liking Tejada. . . . just give me some time

Brocail has had so many

life threatening illnesses, it’s hard to faze him.

I hate seeing...

“In play, no out” and having to wait…

Rollins singles, So Taguchi in to run.

Dobbs to hit for Bruntlett.

Yessir.

Astros win 2-1. Roy wins, Brocail saves, Wright holds. Good pitching all the way through.

Ninth inning kept my attention

I’m glad it did not go any more pitches than it did. Astros win 2-1

Astros fan for life

Stros Win!

Yes! ROY picks up his first win of the season (we should be riding a 4 game winning streak if it wasn’t for yesterday’s ninth inning debacle).

Go Stros!

Kind of hard...

to pick a totally clear game hero here. But my vote is for Bourn.
