The Astros only look great against us. Their pen is a serious weakness. They are surely a very good team, but they are mortal- like us and every AL contender.
I agree.
I must have had him as part of a BTV trade dozens of times.
I still think he should be called up, but maybe they are afraid that might hurt his trade value.
I could see us trading Chavis and Groome for a better pitcher than Groome- hopefully with several years of team control.
I guess he could also be traded for a salary dump-type player.
Duran (1-5) and Arauz with dingers, tonight.
Chavis 1-3 with a BB
Munoz 3-4
Downs 0-4
Ort with his 6th save (0.64 ERA)
AA
Casas 0-3, BB
Winckowski 5.2 6H 2 ER 1BB 5K (2.39 ERA)
If players earn a trip by doing great in AAA, then call up our best:

1.306 Cordero
1.013 Wilson
OPS Against
0.390 Workman (already up)
0.536 Ort

The Astros pen is their weakness, and it's a big one. I was wondering when we'd et our gift, and tonight was the night.
Now, don't gift them back this one!
