With a pitcher with non-dominant stuff, it is essential the defense is solid. Defense letting Obie down.
Uh oh, looking like the Astros of old the past two games. I think we will pull it out. Due for some big offensive games.
Today defense have been awful, Altuve, Villar (expected) and Marwin ( no business playing today) having Valbuena, Villar and Marwin hitting in the lineup, gives you a lineup that will not score many runs, and you add that with the awful defense today, only means one thing, one to the loss column.
Guys, game over, we are not going to score 5 runs, cya tomorrow And yes, we need Correa and Singleton
By the way, LIKE I SAID FROM A LONG TIME AGO, we have problems with our rotation. Outside of K and the 2 Mc's we dont have much. And one of the Mc has a high ERA and the other one usually struggles to pitch long into the games because he K's a lot and also gives some walks. We really need to get a starter (Kazmir?, but injured and struggled a bit yesterday) or someone else. Straily was hit hard yesterday at Triple A. We are in real trouble with this rotation, REAL trouble. Yes, we are in first place but we need to make something because it wont hold the whole year, the rotation is really below average, and is that high thanks to K.
Defense has been bad and Obie looks like he got flustered by it. Stros need to make up for letting him down in the field with their bats.
Have honestly never seen a more annoying poster come on this strong, this fast. Borderline impressive.
They simply have to take the baton from the Rockets, and continue to run with it. The Texans are in the batters box.
Tell me something that i've said that is wrong. Defense is playing good today? Did Altuve's play in the first inning cost us a run???? How are the guys pitching in the 4th and 5th spot doing this year so far? Wojo, Hernandez, Feldman, Obi. I said from the first inning that Carter should be playing today, what happen? Marwin made an error. The pitcher, Hutchison, righties are hitting over .300 against him. So please, tell me what is not true about those things. Also, if I am not happy with the way MY TEAM is playing, I CANT SAY IT??? I can't express myself of how i feel my team is playing, especially if they are playing BAD BASEBALL????? Last year, first half, i did not care because we were LOOKING at talent for the future. Second half i did care because i saw improvement and hope for the future. If Villar played, and made errors i did not care, why? Because i saw it as a time for development. But that was last year, this year we are competing, so expectations are higher, and we fans, SHOULD EXPECT MORE, from this guys. And if we don't like what we see, we SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS IT.
