Cafardo's Latest: Ausmus, Towles, Mariners, Giants, Sheffield, Salty (MLB Trade Rumors)

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 14:33:46 GMT

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe has a few items in his Sunday column... Cafardo says that the Red Sox, despite being in the market for a catcher, are not interested in Brad Ausmus. But they did inquire with the Astros about JR Towles, who is currently in triple-A, but were told he was unavailable. One executive told Cafardo that the Mariners continue to demand that other teams take entire...

Get Well Soon Little Timmy (Babes Love Baseball)

noreply@blogger.com (Sooze) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:30:00 GMT

In the midst of a lights-out performance against the Houston Astros Tuesday, Tim Lincecum went down with an injury after getting nailed in the knee by a Brad Ausmus liner in the fifth. Little Timmy allowed just one hit over five innings, fanning seven before his exit. The San Francisco Giants ace righty limped off the field to get X-rayed, which revealed a bone bruise and no fracture....

Fenway Friday Night Lights Starring Jason Bay (New England Sports Blog)

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:45:43 GMT

♦ "Jason Bay is the most underrated player in the National League," said Houston Astros catcher Brad Ausmus. "He can do many things well. I've always enjoyed watching him. He can run, play defense, hit, hit for power. He'll grow on you when you see him every day because he's a quality all-around player." "Manny is a more accomplished hitter," Ausmus said. "No question about that....

I don't mind the defending World Series manager picking favoring his own players in marginal cases, but seriously, Jason Varitek? What a disgrace. I mean, he was a fine player for a long time, but he's turned into Brad Ausmus without the arm. Well, maybe he'll hit a feeble popup in a key spot like he did Saturday, and the NL will get home field advnatage for once...

Please Forgive A Sports Post, But Brad Ausmus Is Terrible And Yet Never Goes Away (TexasLiberal)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:41:05 GMT

I follow baseball, but rarely post on the subject. I feel we have enough sports in our society already. But I feel compelled to voice my frustration that Brad Ausmus is again the starting catcher for the Houston Astros. The Astros’ might reply that they tried to make Mr. Ausmus the back-up this year, but his intended replacement played poorly. I [...]

Who shot J.R.? (this blog is full of crap)

The "Let a crappy-hitting Brad Ausmus teach a crappy-hitting J.R. Towles" project is over for the time being . Long overdue. Way, way long overdue. Let's hope that Cruz Junior is soon to follow.

Valverde has nothing on the naked guy at Wrigley Field. (SportsJustice)

Sun, 25 May 2008 01:15:51 GMT

Have you ever seen anything as amazing as Jose Valverde staying in the game after taking one off the side of the face? ''A naked guy taking the mound at Wrigley Field,'' Mark Loretta said. ''Billy Spiers getting attacked in right field,'' Brad Ausmus said. ``The whole team charged right field in County Stadium,'' Loretta said. ''I'm thinking there's a fight in the bullpen. You see melee...

Tom (this blog is full of crap)

Wed, 07 May 2008 18:15:11 GMT

Tom Kirkendall takes a look at the Astros season so far. Average team... things to be hopeful about and things to be concerned about. Jose Cruz is an absolute misery at the plate. Call up Brandon Backe to pinch-hit, dammit. JR Towles is making Brad Ausmus look good at the plate now. Mark Loretta is fading. If Michael Bourn continues to bat under his weight, it'll be a test of Cecil Cooper....

Cardboard Gods: Brad Ausmus (Baseball Toaster)

Golf Road Chapter Two (continued from )I lurched around grabbing up all the shreds I could find. After reading the name on the first piece I’d noticed—Brad Ausmus—I didn't waste any more time looking at names. I just wanted to gather up everything I could before the bus came.The pieces were light and jagged. They weren't weather-beaten, but they were slightly curled, like old photographs....

Before a pitcher kicked Astro butt with BAT, I was gonna call this one “Brad Ausmus Uses Randy Johnson For Batting Practice And Gets His BA Back Up To His Weight.” Ah well… Shawn Chacon gets his 6th no-decision, again leaving the game when the Astros were ahead, only to have the bullpen blow it.

Houston Astros : Offensive Juggernaut (The Crawfish Boxes)

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 04:03:28 GMT

Now this is what the 2008 Houston Astros offense should be doing. Every Astros starter except for catcher Brad Ausmus recorded at least one hit tonight, with shortstop Miguel Tejada doing the most damage with his 4-5, 3 RBI's and 3 runs scored including a double and a home run. Tejada raised his average on the season to .342 with his best offensive performance of the year. Lance Berkman...

Hand (this blog is full of crap)

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 18:15:00 GMT

JR. Towles took one on the hand yesterday, but it looks like he's going to be fine with a little rest. Brad Ausmus came in to pinch-run for him. And promptly got bagged in a run-down. I wonder if he'll teach that trick to JR. He's already taught him "How to bat .200 and keep a job in the Major Leagues."
