There's a chance, and it's one I'm holding out for, that he was misquoted. But after Erstad aggravated his hammy running to first in the 8th, Erstad had this to say:
"It doesn't feel pretty good. We'll see. It got it pretty good."
First of all, that is a ridiculous thing to say. Second of all because Sunday's game has a 3:05pm start time, the Astros won't be able to bring anyone up, so he'll probably go on the DL on Monday. Will Matt Kata be rejoining the Astros, as Erstad primarily plays first base? Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
