    Seth Beer is the best Hitting prospect right now, Too early for a callup but why not, looking like a 100 loss team, this offense is the worst. Callup Yordan Alvarez, try new players and see who produces.

    Crazy to think that this seems to be the norm, and we're defending WS champs.

    Up and in fastball to a LHB with long arms and a long swing is a great place to put it. Too bad Tucker decided to not even try. Twice.

    The pitch he fouled off should have been ripped.

    I could see a guy like Keuchel throw the hitters under the bus if this continues. Will be interesting to see the response in the locker room after that.

    I have a bad feeling Kyle Tucker could be another J.D Martinez with the Astros. He does nothing with Houston, becomes a Star player elsewhere.

    I remember the local sports stations giving entire segments for days on Tucker's call-up, what a dire disappointment he's been. Can't blame him though, he's young and inexperienced. I doubt he's wanting to be up here failing like he is.

    He’s kept us in the game, he should be pissed.
    He seems to be too laid back, cocky-ish.

    Yes Correa is coming off injury but he was nothing special this year before he got injured. He's just picking up where he left off. The pitching has camouflaged a lot of issues this year. Now that the pitching is not as dominant, the offense can't put any consistency together to save their lives.

    Man this game is so huge. 2 game swing in the standings. Stros need to find a way to scratch out a couple runs.

    Did the Osuna mess up the happiness in the clubhouse, I guess Whites vs Latinos in the clubhouse. Luhnow needs to trade for a Lefthanded batter. Joey Votto 1B, Yuli as DH

    That should do it. Sad to see. Just don't see much fight in this team right now.
