Everyone slumping same time and no solutions from staff. I don't think the hitting or pitching coaches coming home from this road trip.
Thinking it’s only him is total wishful thinking. Yankees added two outside talented players and it has had a noticeable impact. The Astros remind me of the 95 Rockets before Clyde. Just sleepwalking. Probably heard the same speeches from the same voices one too many times within the clubhouse. It took an addition of a hungry player to wake everybody the F up. there isn’t going to be an addition of any dynamic established players and there isn’t going to be a callup of a young phenom.
It's been a rough early schedule but, when you are this bad, I guess every opposing team is now a tough team to beat. It's like there are no easy wins anymore.
Checks score... sees Tucker hit another home run and leads the AL.... and the Astros are down 5-1 early again... Have fun with this one. This team is terrible. I can't stomach to watch it. At least last time they were a 100 loss team they were a bunch of young players with potential..
If these players are that mentally soft, then you need different players. managerial leadership only goes so far. Phil Garner did have an impact on the 2004 veteran team… but they also added Beltran and Lidge unlocked a cheat code as a closer. Simply just a manager change influencing greatness would be amazing… but we all know it’s highly unlikely to cure everything. Hell, they just changed from a manager that everybody thought was the problem. They’ve been mediocre/playing under .500 for awhile now (since last June 6th).
I can only imagine the amount of **** Reggie Jackson and JJ Watt are talking to Crane about these guys… I’m sure Dana is reminding Crane he didn’t draft a lot of these “pitchers”.
With the Astros, there is always some gigantic pothole looming in the lineup, ready to stall any traffic we manage to get. It really sucks when some of our best players are so bad all of a sudden. I am going to take up blues guitar, soon.
