<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Stayed up late last night to blog on Carlos Zambrano’s outing in Albuquerque for Class AAA Iowa as he finishes his rehab stint. Zambrano pitched 1 inning, giving up 3 hits and 3 runs while walking one, striking out one and hitting one. He’s scheduled to rejoin the team this weekend in Colorado after more than a month away, undergoing anger-management training and rehabbing with Iowa.
My colleagues in Houston talked to Lou about Big Z today. Lou said this to the crew:
"The reports were that he threw the ball better than the results. He hit a batter, walked a batter, (Iowa) should've turned a double-play ball, and (there were) a couple bloop singles. The reports were that he threw the ball better than the outcome and that's really what we're concerned about more than anything else.
"All he's doing is getting some work in here, getting some work in and throwing some pitches. I'm not concerned at all about him being ready. He'll come in and do the absolute best he can. The first thing is to talk to the team and clear that hurdle and we'll go from there.
"I think he'll be fine. I think the sessions that he's had will help him. I look forward to having him back and helping us win some baseball games down the stretch."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
