    Damn, this could have been a series winning win tonight. Dickey would have been had against even a below average lineup. Another 3-hit Altuve game wasted.

    This is not an MLB lineup

    I don't know how the team can stay in the race with the current lineup.

    We have 3-4 MLB hitters. That's it.

    5 runs in 43 innings. But the offense is "fine".

    Vinny Cash-steala thinks that's quality!

    The way we've swung the bats for the last 10 days...Im pretty certain it's worse than the 50 win Astros teams of recent years.

    These guys are completely clueless at the plate.

    Bring up Kemp and Teoscar...and send down your pick of 2 bozos.

    Musgrove tied the MLB record of most K's by a reliever in a career debut.

    Some guy for the White Sox did it in the 80's.

    It's worrisome that the Stros hitting has disappeared the last week and a half

    Can't expect to win against quality opponents with this lineup. Correa and Altuve accounted for 5/7 hits. I will not miss Rasmus, Gomez, and Castro. Would be nice if Reed or Bregman could just be average hitters.

    Eh, not my finest work but still better than seeing a "professional" lose his balance at he plate every at bat. Only reason you should be on your knees at the plate is if you plan on sucking some catcher dick.

    At least Gurriel is 2-2 tonight
