So in other news in Astros camp this morning:
*Mark Appel (appendectomy) is getting closer to 100% and hopes to throw off a mound soon.
*Asher Wojciechowski (lat strain) will resume throwing tomorrow, but not off a mound.
*Jesse Crain now has a calf strain to go along with his biceps surgery recovery. He injured his calf exercising in the gym, and will have an MRI soon.
*Bo Porter got testy and called the team "disrespectful" after Roger Clemens addressed the pitchers.
*Rudy Owens's foot is getting better and doesn't hurt when he pitches - only when he runs.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
