Followed up by our .220 hitters.
Bourn .220
Ausmus .221
Oswalt .222
Oswalt is the best. He should bat after Wiggy. :p

Duh
Yes, he’s done. But anymore news about his injury?
Didn't I read Brad Ausmus
has gotten on base 7 (now 8) straight at-bats?

Did he pitch yet? Did I miss that?
Otherwise, even if Oswalt is injured and not coming back, why not use a pinch hitter?
Oswalt pitched the first inning.

Why a relief batter to pinch hit?
This is too weird.

The likelihood of scoring is not too high there.
Wouldn’t waste a PH in that spot.

Ausmus was on first.
Hunter Pence to follow,. Go for it.

Yea, like Clack said.. why not Backe
doesn’t really waste a PH’er and it gives something of a bat.
Go 'Stros!
You mean Hunter "Ground Out" Pence?
He’s terrible. Would have very likely been an out.
The Backe idea wasn’t a bad one, though. Maybe he’s not stretched out.. dunno.
by entropic soul on Jul 11, 2008 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions
guess the shot didn't help
Roy said the only cure for it was to get younger… so if the cortizone didn’t help, I guess he’ll retire now
Go 'Stros!
He said that alright
But I have a lesser version of that. It heals and you must stretch everything from your feet to your legs to your hips befoer an work to prevent it from inflaming. One it’s inflamed, you have to wait it out. It could be hours or weeks. The key is to keep it from being inflamed in the first placed. To late for that now with Roy O.

maybe "torched" was premature....
but Paronto gave up that run on two very well hit doubles to the wall. And some other hitters were getting good swings off him. But he finally gets out of the inning without more damage.
Gah
sent Roy O, James Shields and Joba today for my fantasy team, hoping to make up a 2-1 win deficit and ERA and WHIP deficits in my head-to-head leagues. Roy’s gone out, Joba’s facing Halladay and Shields is getting torched (sorta).

I’m home. I get video but no audio on MLB.TV. i got audio on radio but not on tv part. Anyone know what’s going on?

yeah, we'll be back to having no bullpen for the rest of this series...
similar to the Pittsburgh series.
I like the Nationals' TV Announcers
Bob Carpenter and Don Sutton.
(and I still miss Alan Ashby on Astros radio)

Berkman struck out
for the second time tonight.
Luckily for the Astros , Tim Redding’s pitch count is getting high. He’s not gotten a decision in weeks. Apparently he keeps the score close then the bullpen blows the lead. To his credit, Tim Redding has come a long way since his Astros days.

One of the Nationals Commentators
joked (I think he was joking ) was that Cecil Cooper’s plan to rest his relievers is not to have to use one to pitch the ninth inning.

that intentional walk to load the bases turned out badly.
I assume, with the bases loaded, Bork would be trying to get a DP with his sinker. But his fastballs were UP, which isn’t going to get it done.
8-0
Belliard’s second home run of the night. The 100th of his career.
Still no outs.

Erstad batting with 2 outs and nobody on base
Why didn’t he hit in the second ?
Astros fan for life
by Joe in Birmingham on Jul 11, 2008 8:54 PM CDT reply actions
A 2 out hit is more important when you are behind by 10 runs than when the score....
is 0-0 in the 2d. Apparently.
In retrospect, the Astros should have put Oswalt on the DL...
earlier in the week, and called up Cassel for this game. Cassel pitched a 2 hitter this week for Round Rock.
I read somewhere Cooper doesn't like Cassel
It sounded personal. What;’s the story there?
Astros fan for life
by Joe in Birmingham on Jul 11, 2008 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions
I have seen that suggested on other boards, too..
If I recall, Cassel indicated after a game that he didn’t agree with Cooper’s decision to pull him in the 5th when he was ahead in the game, and Cassel was gone to Round Rock almost immediately. I think people wondered if Cooper was unhappy with what he said, and then the fact that he seems to have been forgotten at Round Rock adds to the questions.
Geary is pitcher number 5
I hope he gets the win.

Astros seem in total disarray.
Astros fan for life
by Joe in Birmingham on Jul 11, 2008 9:25 PM CDT reply actions
Things sure look and feel bad....but just to put it in context....
this game was lost when Oswalt left after 1 inning. It’s tough for any team to win when their starter leaves before the 2d inning, particularly when the opposing pitcher is tossing a shut out.
Honestly, I can't use that as an excuse
if we were a good team, losing even your best pitcher in the 1st inning, you should still at least have a chance to win the game… just goes to show that we’re not a good team. The Nationals are the worst team in baseball and they just made us look silly…
Go 'Stros!
