Lyles with a complete game win (4-2) tonight vs. San Antonio tonight. BOXLine: 9.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR. Threw 95 pitches (67 strikes, 28 balls). ERA on the season comes down to 2.29. 16 IPs in his last two games. Control better tonight than against Frisco last week. Very nice.

Also, Koby Clemens hit his league-leading tenth HR to help Lyles to a win. Kid can rake.
Is it possible we have a candidate for 1b, post-Berkman?

Anything is possible, but right now it looks unlikely. He's got a long way to go. He's got to hit for a much higher average and cut down on the K's. He's got to improve defensively as well. That's to start with.

Ah, but his marketability! Koby's Korner, right next to Hunter's Lodge!

Per Levine: LINKTowles was examined by team physician Dr. Tom Melhoff in Houston Wednesday and is out 4-6 weeks with a thumb injury sustained sliding into second base on May 13.Per the Twitterazzi.... @AstrosCounty @thescorer says Towles broke his hand sliding into 2nd. 2nd base is upset because of Towles' inability to communicate.

He stole 2B and was shaking his hand but stayed in the game. Played several games afterwards. Too bad for him.

So I gather you're basing your unfavorable opinion of Clemens on 1st-hand observation. Can you elaborate on what you've seen of him?

And on a lighter note... Clemens went 4-4 with 2 bombs and Steele went 4-4 with a 2B against Springfield tonight. BOX

Astros live getting the featured Corpus Christi players' stats wrong (they left up the Round Rock ones) inspired me to take a rare peak at the AA team's stats I noticed this guy. He's a lefty, right? What's his story? I don't think I've heard of him before.
