Altuve's first 3 K game this season... 5th career. Amazing _____ Reddick's stats W vs L is staggering ---.916 OPS vs .630 -- 49 RBIs vs 6 -- 55 Runs vs 8 _____ Three damn DPs tonight. Good thing Greinke should have a 100+ PC after 7.
Greinke has a downright imposing presence. He exudes confidence whether he's hitting all his spots or not. Probably messes with you as a batter and makes you more defensive. McHugh has the calmest, most collected, presence of any of our pitchers. He even looks like a robot in his windup. At this point, he's probably just tired, but credit to the D-Backs for turning everything into a double.
Win the next 3 with no Greinke. Very disappointed with the offense today. McHugh did well against a great lineup.
This is why I stopped watching the Astros with the teams from the 2000s. The starter goes out and gives up only two runs, and the offense can't even muster a single one. I remember it happening to Clemens all the time. Would give up one run and lose the game. How does a team go from consistently scoring inhuman numbers to putting up goose eggs in such a short and dramatic fashion? Even the injuries can't fully explain it.
The best offensive team in this millennium and folks still can't help but throw a fit after a shutout from one of the best pitchers of the last 5-10 years. My lord.
