    Don't know if it's that they're bored and waiting for the playoffs but I have MAJOR concerns about this team facing good/elite pitching.

    Especially since we don’t have consistent elite pitching.

    I think every team has that concern.

    Mariners down 12-1 to the Angels in the 5th. Astros could clinch tomorrow if the score holds (Astros win+ Angels win Sunday.).

    @Castor27

    The title of this thread is jinxing the Astros. Remove the space.

    It never fails. Seems like we’re the only team that does that.

    There is a reason why it’s elite pitching.

    I get it. Dusty can do no wrong. - LOL!

    That's why Framber was fuming on the bench.

    Taking Framber out was the right call. The A’s were making hard contact that inning and he’d just hit a batter. You can argue Graveman wasn’t the right guy to bring in, but he looked fine that inning. The next was his problem.

    The Astros have scored 5 runs total in their last three losses. Pitching and bullpen decisions are not the problem right now.

    And their three games before that? 39 for 124, .315/.374/.573, 29 runs scored, 20 LOB. Three game up and downs happen all the time. Hopefully we see more of those three previous games than the last three games. :confused:

    no. No. No. This team plays with no urgency. Not clutch. No elite hitters on this team. This season is falling apart. (Did I do this right)

    Hitting is a disease, like Cooties.
