    And if you are a pitcher, you know you can't give anything up. Three run leads seem insurmountable.

    Is it time to fire Dave Hudgens yet?

    Pitchers have no room for error when the offense can't even score a run.

    McHugh definitely isn't a pitcher you can truly depend on, that much is certain. Frustrating.

    that's game. We're not making the playoffs this season folks and the sad part is we havnt seen much of REED nor Bregman to be excited about

    Hoyt looks pretty massive. Unexpected somehow

    one thing I like about Bill Worrell is he's not afraid to just say what we are all thinking when the team is terrible

    Astros announcers barely acknowledge how bad the Astros are playing

    I'm not even gonna pretend like I know what Dave Hudgens does for this team, but just by looking at the approach of our players at the plate, it's clear none of them have a ******* clue how to get a hit.

    It's amazing to me that Reed comes up to the majors, blows chunks...goes back down to AAA and literally tears it apart...then comes back up and blows chunks.

    Never seen so many AAAA players within an organization.

    That was something I was curious about. I'd love to know how our lack of movement at the deadline made Springer, Correa, and especially Altuve feel? Luhnow essentially said, we're not ready. It's great they are still young, but it has to be demoralizing.

    We need some veterans to mix in with these youngsters cause I'm tired of seeing them struggle

    The front office failed the team. Luhnow even expressed that some of the players may be disappointed that they haven't improved the team much and tried to get a vet bat to help this year. They got the Cuban defector but by the time he gets here they may be pretty much out of it.

    Definitely.

    Our batters look absolutely clueless at the plate. It's incredibly depressing.

    Gonna be extremely depressing if Gurriel comes up and can't hit either :(

    Well, good thing Reed & Bregman & Kemp & Moran & the rest of the prospects have the rest of this season to prove whether they belong or not. ;)

    I was for them not bringing back the hitting coach next year but they may need to send a message and just get rid of him now. This is pitiful.

    Remember when Tyler won POTW?

    Gattis too nonchalant receiving/recovering that pitch... glad he's catching though

    Crazy how that worked out

    Hard to claim a guy is an AAAA playing with a whopping 50 ABs and being age 23.
