Chris Snyder News

The Diamondbacks haven't had an enormous amount of production out of the catcher's spot in their history, picking up a total of just 30 fWAR from there since the franchise started in 1998, which ranks them 11th in the National League.

Chris Snyder perfectly summarized this Lone Star series that starts tonight when he said it was time for the Astros young players to put on their big-boy pants .

Jed Lowrie hit a two-run homer and J.A. Happ threw six sharp innings before three relievers completed the Houston Astros' 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night.

Based on today's performance, clearly what we need the next time we face a knuckleballer, is to put out a team of players who are having their birthdays.

Jed Lowrie and Chris Snyder both homered in support of J.A. Happ and the Astros downed the Mets, 6-3, on Tuesday.
