‘Frustrated’ Norris reflects on Astros’ game-changing sixth inning vs. White Sox
Houston Chronicle — Astros righthanded starter Bud Norris carefully chose his words, stood behind his teammates and took part of the blame for his club’s tough 4-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Monday at Minute Maid Park. But Norris said a game-changing sixth inning was going to stick with him after he left the stadium and he planned to “sleep on” his frustration. The Astros led 2-0 heading into the top of the sixth and Norris was again owning Minute Maid. But two soft singles and Dayan Viciedo’s bases-clearing three-run triple suddenly changed the evening and ended Norris’ night. Norris on his outing: ” … I w...

Houston Chronicle — Box score Not even Bud Norris at Minute Maid Park, a potential five-game winning streak and a four-game series sweep of the struggling Chicago White Sox could cover up the Astros’ season-long strikeout problem. An offense that spent the initial part of the 2013 season setting MLB records for futility and collapsed during a recent six-game losing streak came up empty again Monday. Astros hitters struck out 12 times — including three consecutive K’s with runners on first and third base with no outs during the seventh inning — and a club that had won three straight one-run games failed to finish ...

White Sox 4, Astros 2: Four-run sixth ends four-game skid
South Side Sox — Just like in 2005, the White Sox won Game 4 at Minute Maid Field. Unlike 2005, there were no champagne celebrations. Instead: relief, as the Sox snapped a four-game losing streak and avoided an unseemly sweep by the overtly rebuilding Houston Astros. It didn't come easy -- they only scored in one inning, they needed the Astros' help to post the crooked number, and they needed the best of the bullpen was needed to preserve it. That's nothing new. Bud Norris looked unimpressive all night, especially with his slider command. He hung plenty of them, but it didn't come back to bite him unti...

Houston Chronicle — The Astros’ fifth consecutive victory and a four-game series sweep of the Chicago White Sox are on the line during a 7:10 p.m. contest Monday at Minute Maid Park. “We put ourselves in this position because we have played well the last three days,” said Astros manager Bo Porter, whose club is 16-14 during its last 30 games.

Houston Astros June 17, 2013Amid the gloom, Norris delivers gutsy performance in loss
Houston Chronicle — SEATTLE – The frustration was quite evident late Tuesday night inside the spiraling Astros’ clubhouse after Mariners journeyman Aaron Harang threw a two-hit shutout against them. The defensive performance was disheartening yet again, and the offense was practically non-existent. Amid the gloom of yet another six-game losing streak, however, Astros ace righthander Bud Norris stood apart as a reason for hope. Whether as an example for his younger teammates or as a testament of his value to teams looking to acquire him at the trade deadline, Norris was impressive through seven strong innings whil...

June 11, 2013Game thread, Mariners vs. Astros, June 11
Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — MARINERS FIRST: More sloppy play from the Astros right from the start as Chavez leads off with a double and gets to third when the throw in from right skips by shortstop Ronny Cedeno for an error. The Mariners seemed on the verge of stranding Chavez until a two-out, two-strike wild pitch from Bud Norris. 1-0 Mariners. ASTROS FIRST: Coming off his awful start against the Yankees (2.1 innings, 8 hits, 6 runs), Harang had an encouraging first inning, getting the Astros in order with two strikeouts. The big news today, of course, is the arrival of catcher Mike Zunino, who is not in the starting li...
Seattle Mariners June 11, 2013Game 66, Astros at Mariners
U.S.S. Mariner — Aaron Harang vs. Bud Norris, 7:10pm Bud Norris was once a big-time (er, semi-big time) strikeout artist. A fastball/slider pitcher who mixes in a few change-ups to lefties, Norris racked up whiffs with his sharp slider, but yielded a fair number of homers-allowed. This year, his strikeouts are down markedly (like, 21-24% to 15%). But [...]-- This post came from: U.S.S. Mariner, and is copyright by the authors.
