St. Louis Cardinals at Houston Astros, Jun 7, 2008 6:05 PM CDT
I find it at least a little odd that the 2 players on the Astros that have typically played every day in the past unless hurt, have both been given days off in the last 2 games(Tejada yesterday and Lee today)... I know Tejada doesn't like sitting so I'm sure sitting for 2 games so far this season didn't make him really happy yesterday. I kind of thought that maybe Matsui would get a rest tonight since Loretta had such a nice game last night... but that didn't happen either.
As most of us seen coming with hearing Cooper's recent comments, Bourn is batting 7th tonight and Pence batting 1st. That's definitely a move int he right directly. Nice to see Erstad get another start today as well.

Lee has been struggling at the plate....
just like Tejada. So I assume Cooper believes that a rest might do both some good. I like Erstad in LF. He has been productive at the plate and he will provide some defense in LF that Lee doesn’t. In fact, this game has a damned good defensive outfield.

Chacon allows a lead offf singlel....but gets the next three.....
with 2 groundouts and a line out to CF by Pujols.

The Pujols line drive
scared me off the bat… It looked like it was hit much deeper than it was.

Poo-holes and his smirk.
Someone should knocked him in the teeth for that. Seriously, not to hurt the man, but when is the last time one of our pitchers went high and in to him? He will continue to own us until he gets beat inside. How about a “brush-back” every now and then?

over the years of watching the Astros pitch to Pujols...
it seems that part of their game plan is to pitch him inside underneath the wrists. he will swing and miss sometimes when it is well executed. but it’s also dangerous, and I’ve seen Pujol punish the Astros after a couple of swings and misses when ball drifts back toward the plate.
by clack on Jun 7, 2008 6:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Command is always important...
but, changing locations in/out disrupts a hitter’s anticipation. Of course if you can’t locate then you lose. I have noticed in recent games Poo has been serving those outside pitches all over the outfield. Bust him in just to make him aware!

pretty decent bunt, even if Glaus picks it clean, Bourn probably still ends up safe.

we're in serious silver lining time now
but it was nice.
Bourn doesn’t seem to have the ability to deaden the ball when he bunts though. That one was better, but it still had a pretty good pace on it. And the few bunts I’ve seen him put down successfully have been pushed to third. gotta be able to drag it as well.

by Stros Bro on Jun 7, 2008 7:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
seemed like Glaus was playing in
but pretty far off the line, so the bunt’s position down the line meant he had to come both in and towards the 3b line. like you said orig though, it was a good bunt. glaus didn’t field it b/c he tried to pick it up w/ the bare hand and that was the only chance he would have had to throw him out. hopefully michael can build on that.

I happened to catch the inning during the Dodger-Cub game this afternoon where the Dodgers put up 5 against Zambrano. It was surreal to watch the action and seeing the Cubs fielders dropping outs and throwing the ball away and the whole time Tim McCarver was chattering away blithely. Hilarious.

there has been some criticism that LaRussa overworked wainwright....
a lot of consecutive game with 120-125 pitches. LaRussa’s tendency to leave Wainwright in too long came home to roost in that last game.
Now Wainwright leaves with some kind of finger injury…blister maybe?

interesting idea
it means you’re burning at least 2 players (unless you do something crazy like sending Lee to LF after he hits, move Ausmus to 2B and put Erstad behind the plate—I think he might be our 3rd catcher). We already used Abercrombie, so we would be pretty depleted on the bench.
with the way Carlos is going, there’s not a lot of hope for something good, but probably more than Matsui.
