I really want Ty Blach to do well today, not invested at all but he hasn't given up more than 2 runs since June 2nd, nor has he pitched less than 5.0 IP since Early May.

17 GS, 11-3, 2.64 ERA, 112.2 IP, 109 H, 7 HR, 14 BB, 103K

Promotion to AA, or just ride out the season in San Jose?

Tony Kemp, 2013 2B draftee out of Vandy, also homered in that inning. Recently moved up from Tri City. Could be the future double play combo for Houston. Nice to see both adjusting well.

If he's better than Jose Altuve and Delino DeShields Jr he will be special indeed. He certainly has the best milb.com biography I've seen - favorite cereal, TV show, actors, music, movies, etc.

Well, that bio is just copy/pasted from his bio at vucommodores.com. I have no idea why the site used it for him, but for no other Vandy player.

I would imagine in a few years the Astros will trade Altuve for a group of prospects because on of Kemp, Torreyes or DeShields will be ready to play 2B without too much of a drop off. If TK is blocked at second, he can play a very good OF, as can DeShields, I hear. Torreyes has really struggled to get going at AA since the trade.

George Springer is now officially a 30/30 guy - just hit his 30th jack to go with his 37 steals. :mrgreen:

Any Mike Hauschild or Blair Walters prospectors? each gave up 10 runs in less than an inning. Though to be fair to Hauschild, only 6 were earned. Baseball is a rough game sometimes.

If anyone wants to trade me some more of his stuff, let me know.

Thanks.
