Y'know....for 3 walks through 3 innings, O'Malley's pitch count is awfully low. Edited August 16, 2006 by bcruise

Nice of the Astros to help the kid out by swinging at the first pitch, just like they did with Z the other night after the eighth-inning walk.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Through 3 innings.....

[Garwilly]

Whqat are the pitch counts? Fred and CBS are disagreeing.

[ToupeeOnFire]

The Cubs are second in the NL in sacrifices. Dusty won't settle for being second best.

Don't forget Huff swinging on a 2-0 count (after the first two pitches were in the dirt) against Novoa with the bases loaded last night.

I hate stadiums with roofs.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

This ballpark SUCKS.

 

That was entertaining, though...

[ToupeeOnFire]

Stupid ballpark ground rules. :x

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lane walked

[Andy]

Wow, ball four was definitely a strike.

Does anyone know who was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for O'Malley today?

They were at 39.

The assumption is that Wood was moved to the 60-day DL.
