Wandy Rodriguez Pitching a Good Game

[salonghorn-70]

Through 6 innings, only 2 hits, 0 BB, 5 SO, retired 7 in a row.
So when do we start hitting????

 

[salonghorn-70]

Through 7 ninnings, 2 hits, 0 BB, 6 SO, retired 10 in a row.
Come on Stros, get some runs. Still 0-0.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Back to back Homers, Berkman and Lee.

Make that three taters!

Not a good introduction of our new closer to the home crowd.

On the other hand, Tejada's introduction to the home folks worked out pretty well.

 

[salonghorn-70]

TEJADA!!!!!!!!!! HR in the 9th to win the game.
Astros Win 5-3. Rodriguez finished with 7.1 in, 2 hits, 0 BB, and 6 SO. Maybe I'm an eternal optimist but I think Houston might be better this year than some on this board have thought.

Hopefully we can take care of business at home this season. Wandy certainly is a different pitcher at MMP.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

if Valverde and Roy don't improve in a hurry, it will be a long year.

 

[salonghorn-70]

Husker, I do worry about Roy. I'm also concerned that Pence is having a 2nd year slump.

 

[texashorne]

I am glad Wandy had a good outing. I wish he could shake the mental aspect and do the same on the road, maybe that will develop this season.

Hunter needs to study some tapes of his at bats. Opposing pitchers are just abusing him with the breaking pitches.

Pence is swinging at everything right now. That's his main problem. Pitchers don't have to throw him strikes to get him out.
