    Vaguely reminiscent of the yips against SD where we made Sterling Hitchcock look like Cy Young.

    Let's go Astros!

    these balls are all being driven into the ground--yesterday and today at least. Lots of downward movement from them, like what we usually see from Keuchel. Need to figure out how to counter that

    It's crazy how a team can talk about "keeping their approach at the plate" when what they are actually doing is nothing like their approach at the plate during the regular season. Clearly their nut sacks have retreated into their abdomens.

    Anyone else find themselves saying the same thing to themselves after we hit each inning?

    Mine has just been "Wow..." each inning.

    Never seen so many balls come off the bat and hit the ground immediately before dribbling to an infielder.

    Maybe that Choke City thread was right after all. These guys are wilting just like the Killer Breeze did.

    Can someone with baseball knowledge give me some sort of idea what the hell is wrong with these guys. Pitchers literally hit better than this lineup is right now.

    Feels like the Oakland series all over again

    What happened to the powerhitting lineup? Making tanaka look like greg maddux.

    Weak groundouts and weak popups. Maybe should just go up there bunting every at bat.

    I can't believe our hitters are going down without a fight. This yankee pitching is hittable. We are just straight up choking. That exactly what this is. A big fat choke.
