Gordon is scheduled to start Friday.

Some would say the best two way player in the district.

Astros with a bad home loss to the White Sox. 4-2 Astro pitching gave up only 4 hits but had 8 walks. McCullers had 4 BB's.

Maybe the better analogy is Kelly's Heros. They were helping win the war but had a greater goal in getting some gold for themselves.

Astros kinda mailed this one in. Gave Altuve the day off, sat Rodgers and played Whitcomb at 2nd, used Pena as the DH and had Dubon at SS and played Melton in LF. Houston was 1-8 with runners in scoring position (Dubon 0-2, Melton 0-3, Smith 1-3) I thought Walter did a good job starting, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits thru 6 innings.

Brown had a so so start. Had 5 BB and a hit batter in 5 1/3. Did have 9 k's but struggled with control today. Still only gave up one run. Had over 100 pitches in that 5 1/3. That's very un-Brown like.

Statistically speaking, Houston is the best team and currently playing the best in the AL West.

When I get time, I'll post the schedules for the 33 coverage area teams that are participating.

Hader is now 16 for 16 in save opportunities.

I don't think this had anything to do with commitment.

Good question. I was told some just decided not to go.

I said one of the best, not necessarily THE best.

Silsbee did not make the final of this qualifier. Some of the regular guys did not go to this qualifier. Silsbee had to play 5 incoming freshmen (basically 8th graders) in this one. This was Silsbee's last chance to qualify for state 7 on 7. They will not be playing any other qualifiers.

Yep. That was a bad one. Got Brown tomorrow to get a series split.

Well, I was wrong. Astros at the top of the division on May 31, not All-Star break. So I missed it by a month.

It was 83 but that is still as about as efficient as one can get. Just a tad over 9 pitches per inning on average. Glad this was not a wasted gem. Already had a couple of those this year. Gave up 3 hits, one earned run and 9 K's.

Do you realize that Houston is tied for the 4th best record (that's wins and losses) in the AL? Only half a game back of 1st in their division? That gets you in the playoffs btw.

So a quality pitcher can't have a bad outing? The results of one game trumps what has been done the rest of the season? Got it. Astros pitching is currently top 6 in AL with a 3.44 ERA. Those two have helped Houston maintain a top 5 pitching this season. Up until the last couple of weeks, Houston pitching has been their strength. Batting was not doing very well but that has picked up and now the Astros are 2nd in AL in batting. As a staff (King and Ort included) the Astros have been good. Could they be better? Yes. But only 5 teams in the AL are performing better than Houston and only one of those teams are in the division (Texas). But you obviously think Houston should be #1 in AL in both batting and pitching. Otherwise, you would not have commented after this 13-3 loss. But that is what we are used to here. No comments from you when things are good, only when it's bad. smh

Correct with the sarcasm. King and Ort has been doing very well.

Former Kirbyville head coach Travis Williams has been named the new head boys basketball coach at Woodville. Williams has been head coach at Silsbee, Port Arthur Memorial, Hearne and at Kirbyville twice. Congrats Coach Williams

WO-S game is at WO-S.

Read on X it was arm fatigue. Only threw 39 pitches.

I'll leave that to a Mustang fan.

Turf is a better choice than the asphalt track. Everyone would agree. Grass is much better. I stated if those were the only two choices, then obviously the turf would be the better choice. Some common sense is better than no common sense.

If you are saying that a grass or dirt field was another choice, then common sense was definitely not used in this situation.
