Wolf has one good outing, and one bad outing under his belt since joining the Astros... but overall (ERA wise), he has been an excellent pitcher. Then you look a little deeper and see the 2.04 WHIP and the brakes halt on the good pitcher train. Hopefully we'll see more of the Wolf we seen last game in which he went 5 innings while giving up no runs, 3 walks and 7 k's to earn his 1st victory in Astros red.

Wolf has only faced the Reds one time this season before tonight and pitched well. On May 22nd he went 7 innings allowing just 2 runs while walking 1 and striking out 9. I'll take that again tonight...

Carlos Lee Homers in the first

If Astros don’t strike out they hit a homerun so far

are the reds actually more pathetic than us?

got so used to getting beat up by the pirates I forgot there could be other teams in the NL Central that suck worse

bruce = good hitter

should be fun to watch.

wiggy screws up the HR/hit ratio

singles to lead off 2nd. Bourn up.

by lnewcomer on Aug 8, 2008 6:28 PM CDT 0 recs

strike out?

maybe next season..

by fire richard justice on Aug 8, 2008 6:29 PM CDT 0 recs

Bourn hits a pop fly single that dies in CF

but his swings seem to be back like the old ways, not going the other way like he was before injury

by lnewcomer on Aug 8, 2008 6:30 PM CDT 0 recs

it’s a hit in the box score.. but..

maybe next season..

by fire richard justice on Aug 8, 2008 6:32 PM CDT up 0 recs

wasn't like there was an error

but it was more luck than anything else

by lnewcomer on Aug 8, 2008 6:32 PM CDT up 0 recs

not as authoritative as wigg’s

maybe next season..

speaking of runs scored

anyone know off the top of their head where we rate in RS compared to last year’s team?

by lnewcomer on Aug 8, 2008 6:40 PM CDT 0 recs

easiest thing is to compare rankings...

since I don’t feel like calculating runs per game. Astros rank 21st in the majors in runs currently. Astros ranked 24th in the majors in runs in 2007.
