Good news per Footer (via Twitter)
from my baseball ops friends: mier singles in first two at bats
Not only did Mier single in his first professional at-bat, it was on the first pitch.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
Laird looks to be suffering from a groin tweak
Bourn on second, Tejada on 1st. Lee at the plate 1-1 count.

Still not sure?
Great!! start by Paulino! But I am stil not sure about the decision to get rid of the only long relief guy (Baacke) when 2 guys are making their first starts off disable list. Hopefully it works out.
It's puts at a bit of a disadvantage
But it’s not like Backe was a) effective in that role or b) effective in any other role
Arais and Fulchino are guys who can be stretched a few innings and so can Sampson, so I think we’ll survive.

Missed ops!
Man it sure looked like more than 1- run inning!
Hell yeah Paulino
Second K of the game and working efficiently.

I'm impressed by Paulino through 2 innings.
he has been very sharp. I was thinking he might come out off-target early, since he hadn’t pitched in a awhile.
Me too
Hopefully he doesn’t fatigue and lose that, but so far—so good.

Difference between first string and second string catcher
Tigers young catcher having a tough go so far. Beside that passed ball, a more experienced catcher woud have gotten Paulino’s bunt popup.

'sup, gentlemen?
looks like the Astros’ offense is actually doing something. That’s cool

It helps the Figora (sp?) can’t seem to figure out where the strike zone is.

yeah, he seems a bit wild
with the fastball, at least. Oddly enough, in what little I’ve seen (the last two PAs) his offspeed stuff is a little more accurate.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
figaro and nieve were getting all the headlines...
when he pitched last. They both pitched on the same day. The four letter network was promoting figaro and nieve as the next generaation of great pitchers.
You're kidding me?
Backe should go to the East Coast and then maybe he could reinvent his image too.

Figaro
was in college last year. Played A ball last summer
Was in AA this year when called up to replace Dontrelle Willis.
Quick advancement for him. Get to him while you can. He may have a great future

Thank you Lance Berkman
nice diving grab of a shot;
then enough composure to throw to second from his knees for the force.

no, he doesn't seem to be.
Ever since the last road trip when he was hitting into a lot of bad luck, he doesn’t seem to have done very well.
Whatever, it’s just poor luck or normal variation or whatever.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
After getting singles in his first two professional AB,
Jiovanni Mier took a walk in his 3rd professional at-bat
Fourth AB, it looks like he possibly beat out a double play
yeah!
2 nites in a row! nice to see Kaz coming around! not bad nite offensively either!
the press in Chicago in something. sort of like NY, I guess.
The Chicago papers got someone to tell them what they overhead in the argument between Bradley and Piniella. Piniella called Bradley “A piece of sh*t.” Piniella didn’t deny it but said that comment was made in the sanctuary of the clubhouse and shouldn’t have made it to the press. Bradley wasn’t upset about it. “That’s Lou Piniella. I think Lou Piniella is somebody.”
wow...9th K for Paulino.
I think he wants to keep his rotation spot. Couldn’t come at a better time, since Hampton is coming off the DL next week.
9 Ks through 5!!!
Good night

well
it was always an issue of Paulino just putting it all together. Sort of like Wandy, I suppose.
Of course, 1 start against a team that has never faced you before isn’t really all that much. This is an impressive start, though.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
true
but very seldom do they “put it all together” against a 1st place team. "stros hadn’t seen fiagro either and he hada decent 1st start and apparently was impressive enough to get called up. Whatever.. I am both Flabbergasted &Ecstatic with Paulinos performance tonite!
and he had a couple of very good starts earlier this season
Paulino has become a TCB favorite

yeah, I remember
he’s your typical fireball pitcher. He has good nights and bad nights, and he just needs to work on being efficient (like his tonight). I think we all have high hopes for him, and I think at the very least he’ll be a decent starter for us this and next season.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
this is more like the Paulino we saw in his first start this year.
even better, really. Paulino looks so much more polished than he did when was a top prospect and made his first ML appearances in 2007. If he has control over that fastball, his breaking pitches become very effective.
“Go to the grocery store,” she said. “You’ll miss three innings, tops…what are you afraid of missing…your boys giving up four runs?”
We go hungry next time.
heh
you could’ve listened to Milo. You wouldn’t even know how many innings you missed!
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
I can almost hear it now...
“And I’d like to welcome the good folks from Memorial Hermann Northeast…looks like Bourn is in a rundown…And a big welcome to the South Houston Church of Christ Youth Group…you know what guys, I’m in the mood for flapjacks”

It's the uniforms.
Good things happen when we ditch the pinstripes.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
These are definitely my favorite current uniforms
My all-time favorites are the ones from the late ’60s
Navy and orange is my second favorite, though
See, I like the orange-dominant ones they used after those.
Drayton should have played off of that when he was going for the “retro” look.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
So
how many guys will ESPN get to dissect Paulino’s start on BBTN? Three? Eight?
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
"...And the Astros beat the Detroit."
“Moving on to Manny’s rehab starts…”
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
The big question before the game
was how long could Paulino go. Three innings? 4? 5? 6? I don’t think anyone though out loud that he’d go more than six.
Paulino just finished the sixth and looked smooth and strong.

lol
that was almost a carbon-copy of Kepp’s walk-off hit against the Cubs in the 2nd game of the year. Shatters the bat; almost falls down coming out of the box.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
7IP for Paulino
What a performance!!!!

Scoreboard Update
The Cubs lost 8-7 and the Brewers are losing to the Giants 4-0 in the bottom of the sixth.
Fulchino snags a broken-bat liner
relatively soft, but still…
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
strikes out raburn
that’s his 18th K in 19 batters faced.
Your friendly neighborhood Dreamshake mod.
Well done, gang
Much better outcome than I was expecting today. Now if only we could find a way to make the Cards lose…
ASTROS WIN 8-1
If only they could all be this way.
Great day for Paulino
