guessing he hit's 6th. Fowler, Soler, Rizzo, Bryant, castro or montero, russell.

That's a fun trip through the order.

Has there been a corresponding roster move yet? Mendy to AAA?

and it just got scarier for them





ETA: that 15 LOB needs to go down... two double plays killed two really good scoring chances early in the game

I wouldn't be surprised if Russell hits 9th ro start.
no pressure and the gauntlet behind him.

Too bad the last team to have an entire infield of guys 25 or younger went 43-119

This is tough because I don't want to put Russell in front of the pitcher, so you may have to slot him ninth if the pitcher stays in the hole.

I guess you could go Castro, Russell, Coghlan, P, Montero, but Coghlan is better than a seventh hitter IMO.

I wonder what the corresponding roster move will be? Russell is also not on the 40-man roster. The 40-man is at 41, minus Jacob Turner on the 60-day DL, which makes it locked at 40. Mike Olt could be transferred to the 60-day DL as well as he has a broken wrist and will be in a cast for 3 weeks.

Then, I'd guess Alcantara will be sent down.

That's my guess. Guy needs to hit as often as possible...he's not going to do that with the big league club.

It's amazing how big a douche some of you Stro fans are. It's funny that you guys get off on the whole 100+ year thing because the Astros have NEVER won a World Series.

More power to ya, faggie.

When is the last time a team hit on this many prospects ? Obviously the jury is still out on Soler, Bryant and Russell but if they all perform at or near their expectations, I can't think of a group of prospects all panning out like these guys may.


You do know that Russell wasnt drafted by the Cubs right?

I'm sure he does.

Doesn't mean that he's not a cubs prospect, or that he wasn't a target for the cubs.

So when a Cubs fan talks shite about the Pujols homerun, it's no big deal. But when Shane retorts with shite talking of his own, he is a douche and a faggie? Got it.

Sounds like y'all need some thicker skin

correct...all those things can happen and you can still be a douche bag.

And just to play along, do you think you're forgetting a step in that analysis...like maybe the bartman video in a thread about the cubs calling up a prospect? But by all means, skew it as you need to.

Thicker skin? We are cubs fans, it is thick as leather. However, we arent going let an organization as shitty and unheralded as the astros talk shite. Make sense?
