Welcome to my little slice of the World Wide Web...I've been trying to establish an Astros Blog for a couple of weeks now and I've moved to this site with the hopes that it will generate some more interest. So, please read, comment and add information. Thank you.
On to business...Jason Jennings is out for 2-3 weeks with tendinitis in the flexor muscle of his right arm. So now what happens? Does Matt Albers get a shot? Do we give someone out of the 'pen a spot start? Here's my take....call up Troy Patton for one game...I would love to see this kid throw at least one Major league game before he's 25. If he is such a prospect for our 'Stros...we need to throw him in the fire and see what happens.
Other news is that our bats were great last night for the most part...out pitching sucked. I'm very concerned about Woody Williams. I know it's only his 3rd start...but I haven't seen alot to like. He hasn't been down in the zone, batter's are working long counts, and he's giving up runs. That to me adds up to nothing but trouble. He's not going to be able to eat up innings if he's throwing 60-70 pitches by the 4th inning. Our pitching is defenitly suspect right now.
How about the Rocket on ESPN790 Friday morning, calling for Lidge to move to the starting rotation....interesting thought...
Well, tonight Wandy faces former Astros prospect Freddy Garcia...keep your fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath.
