    Team still doesn't run the bases smart even though they have been playing much better. They also like to admire their fly balls a little too much when it's not a guarantee they are home runs. Coaches have to do a better job of stressing this with the players.

    .801 OPS in June begs to differ, May and July have not been kind though.

    Castro at times is too lackadaisical and doesn't have a sense of urgency behind the plate in blocking balls.

    He was appeared imo delayed in reacting to that ball like he is in other several instances.

    Gomer has been awful for the vast majority of his Astros career.

    Can we just move someone else to center and get Bregman up now.

    That last at bat pissed me off.

    I'm hoping somehow Gomez is replaced somehow as the year goes on.

    That was a good AB and a better 3-2 pitch.

    Jeebus, glad Springer didn't break his hand on that one.
