    When you have .200 hitters playing better than Babe Ruth there's not much you can do...

    Historically massive outlier of performance by the sox... could be luck or could be something else..

    Small sample sizes are tricky. If you need grand slams to win its going to not work eventually...

    There’s still a way if you take one in Boston and get the series back to H-town, but a lot has to change starting with this white hot Boston team coming back down to their normal playing level

    MLB.com showing every "ball" in that at bat touched the zone and could have been called a strike.

    I really wish Dusty would have started Castro tonight, and possibly tomorrow night too. I understand the importance of Maldonado having strong rapport with the pitchers, as well as his defense against stolen base attempts. But it's not like Castro is utter sh*t at those things. He's decent at them. And with the pitching staff in tatters, the Astros need all the offense they can get from all 9 hitters in the lineup.

    I expect them to acquire starting pitching that is competitive in October.

    altuve is a choker defensively at this point.

    He had the yips vs the rays last year and has the yips here again
