    Can't claim a screw job when nobody but Altuve and Gurriel can get a hit out of the infield.

    Sorry folks. These are very easy outs for their pitchers. I don't see this turning around. Our hitters are just too badly beaten.

    hence the "but" part. weak contact grounder was bad but like i said, the umps are trash and did him no favors. im not putting the blame on him, so chill out buddy

    Some Astros batters seemingly can't pull the trigger anymore on the few good pitches they are seeing.

    FYI, a leadoff double won't score roughly 37% of the time (probably more in the playoffs). Let's just hope we take advantage of the next opportunity or 2. Or strike big when the striking happens.

    Postseason can tell you a lot about players. These 3 are not afraid of the moment.

    It's like they're thinking too much. Just see it, hit it bros. Hit the ball. Correa in particular is watching balls right down the middle because he's guessing.

    Keuchel looking good. Stros need to put some runs up to support him.

    what the **** is up with this ump?

    calling balls a strike and calling a strike a ball.

    ump behind the plate calling balls that are strikes, helps the pitcher.. Thats why correa looks lost at the plate right now
