Ed's Offense Puts On A Show

Written by Baqqs on 12:30 PM

Finally it looks like the offense that Ed Wade intended on carrying The Astros towards NL Central contention has shown up. Matsui recently joined the Astros and has acted as somewhat of a spark for this team. The Astros have won their last two games by a combined 16-7 margin and in those games Matsui has multiple hits, a couple RBI's, a SB and excellent defense. What's even more telling is Wades plate-setter concept. That Bourn and Matsui get on base for the big boppers to drive in. Well, in these past two games, Matsui has been on base 4 times and guess what? He has scored 4 times. The key to this offense may very well be Kaz and his ability to get on base.

Still The Astros rank 28th in all of baseball in Batting Avg and just as bad in On Base Percentage. However, if our pitching staff can limit the damage until all The Astros show up to hit we will be headed in the right direction.
