Man that was quick. I just walked in and the game was already over. Another good win and off to Boston to show them who is really the class of the AL. Go Stros.

Yes, and completed in 2:36. My kinda game, too bad I missed it.

Alvarez just hit his 2nd HR tonight. 12 pitch AB. White needs to go now.

Yep, trade him for a six pack of Luhnow's choice and a box of Big League chew for the guys in the dugout.

Luhnow was in round rock this week to watch prospects and speak with them. Some indirect comments but he said what’s even more impressive with Yordan is how the pitchers are pitching around him and he is still getting hits and walks like crazy.

Another good article.. talks of possibly the super two date was moved up this year with all the mid May call ups. Maybe it’s nothing, or maybe it’s everything. We will see how it shakes up.

Mixed feeling on that...
They dont "need" him yet... let him continue to tear it up down there...
Flip side.. get him 'early' show experience to get the shock/awe out of way so he can get to doing what he was doing in AAA...and also give "early' opportunity to see if what he was doing actually translates to the show.

Diaz removed from game. Kemp in at 2nd now. No word on what he may have strained. He was grabbing behind his knee the other day on third base.

That would probably be the move if needed.
He’s absolutely raking! video game numbers.
