It’s amazing that 37-year old righty starting pitcher Brian Moehler still has a job based on how he has pitched this season. He has started 11 games for the Astros this season and he is 4-4 with a 6.43 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. Moehler has allowed a stunning 74 hits (12 of which are homers!) in only 56 innings this season for the Astros. The most amazing thing about the Astros’ pitching staff if that they don’t have anyone better than Moehler to replace him with.

Hunter Pence just continues to improve for the Houston Astros. He has played in 68 games for the Astros this season and he is 82 for 249 (.329 avg, .938 OPS) with 42 runs scored, 10 homers, 29 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. Pence has been one of the best hitters for the Astros and he is a good defensive outfielder. Pence would likely be the Astros’ MVP if the season ended today and here’s to hoping that he makes the All-Star team if he continues to play at this level.
