The Houston Astros have gotten excellent work out of their starting rotation so far this year and it was against the Rangers, who are a pretty darn good hitting baseball team. Bud Norris (1-0, 3.18 ERA and 1.41 WHIP), Philip Humber (0-1, 1.59 ERA and 1.24 WHIP), Lucas Harrell (0-1, 1.50 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP) and Erik Bedard (0-0, 1 save, a 0.00 ERA and a 0.30 WHIP) have a combined record of 1-2 with 1 save, a 1.74 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP so far his year. The rest of the pitching staff is 0-0 with a 12.79 ERA and a 2.05 WHIP! The Astros are also having trouble scoring runs as they have been shut out two games in a row now. The are only hitting .172 with a .464 OPS and they have scored 8 runs this year. They have also whiffed 43 times against only 4 walks in 93 ABs so far this year. It’s going to be a long, long baseball season in Houston in 2013.
