Notes Regarding Futility

- Guess who leads the Astros in at-bats with RISP and two outs: Adam Everett. In said situations, AE is hitting a crisp .228 with a .313 OBP. Lance Berkman leads the team with a .394 avg with RISP and two outs. The late Preston Wilson was second at .340. Who's next? Roy Oswalt (.333 - 4-12), Eric Bruntlett (.308) and Chris Burke (.276). Notables missing from the leaders: Aubrey Huff (.273), Craig Biggio (.244), Willy Taveras (.238), Mike Lamb (.205) and Morgan Ensberg (.205).

- Close and Late: Luke Scott (.600 OBP), Eric Bruntlett (.440), Chris Burke (.412) and Lance Berkman (.411). Lamb, Ensberg, Biggio, Lane, Huff, Taveras, Everett, Palmeiro and Ausmus ALL have OBPs of .315 or under in close and late situations. That's why I should have learned to turn off my TV from the eighth inning on. Rallies are impossible with these numbers. As a team, the Astros are hitting .225 with a .299 OBP and .343 SLG in close and late situations.
