good call 4B!
That one has a very good chance of coming in. Here's some info on the new pitcher that the Astro's are bringing in to replace Oswalt though......Valdes has been their lone bright spot in this 4-20 run they are on. Ranger will need the lead early to eliminate Dotell, Wagner and the rest of the pen from coming out early.
I'll put a little something on it though! THANKS 4B-O
Rodrigo Rosario makes his major
league debut for the Houston Astros on Saturday in the middle
game of a three-game interleague series against the Texas
Rangers at the Ballpark in Arlington.
Rosario (NR) was recalled from Class AAA New Orleans on
Wednesday to take the place of injured starter Roy Oswalt, who
was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a groin injury.
The 25-year-old righthander was 5-4 with a 2.67 ERA in 10 starts
at New Orleans. He struck out 52 and walked only 24 in 67 1/3
innings.
Texas hands the ball to Ismael Valdes, who tries to win his
fifth stright decision. He is 4-0 with a 3.78 ERA in his last
six starts.
Valdes (6-2, 4.62 ERA) defeated the Florida Marlins in his
previous start last Saturday. He gave up two runs and six hits
in six innings.
The 29-year-old righthander is 2-4 with a 4.22 ERA in 12 career
appearances against the Astros, including 10 starts.
Houston opened the "Lone Star Series" with a 12-3 rout over
Texas on Friday.
Craig Biggio matched a season high with four hits and Jose
Vizcaino hit a two-run triple as the Astros won for the second
time in eight games.
Vizcaino was starting in place of second baseman Jeff Kent, who
missed his second straight game with a sore left wrist as
Houston snapped a four-game road losing streak and improved to
8-5 in interleague play.
Alex Rodriguez had two hits, including a homer, and two RBI for
the Rangers, who have lost 20 of their last 24 games, including
five in a row.I am NOT schizophrenic......and NEITHER am I! Just paranoid that fear may overcome my insanity!
