    JV is under a 2.5 era as a Houston Astro in the regular season. Come playoff time he’s over 4.

    That’s mental.

    We are down. Chill. Astros fans should be used to back and forth playoff games by now.

    It's only the 4th inning, yall need to calm TF down lol. I think Valdez fell in love with the curve ball too much that last inning and fell behind when he couldn't locate. Hope the bats come alive.

    I hope the Astros are more patient at the plate. We need to get Castillo out of his rhythm - get some baserunners, bunt over a guy, make him sweat

    Honestly I am fine with Framber becuase he will give up 2-3 each outing we know that. I'm more worried about our hitters looking lost against Castillo right now. It's going to be hard to get a few hits strung together to manufacture runs the way he's dealing.

    The way that inning went, I am glad it was only 2 runs. Time to get the run back

    We had the lead and the defense was doing their jobs well. The only variable is him.

    not really. there's a ton of factors that go into it. it's definitely not solely mental. and yesterday wasn't

    It's weird too. Certainly not all, but most of the knee jerks come from fans that you don't see much during the regular season. Maybe that's one of the reasons, just not used to it.

    Yeah in the end it's 2 runs and we're down by 1, this game is still on offense to win. We're fine.

    Valdez throws 26 pitches in the 4th. Is at 61 through 4.

    Valdez threw more balls (14) than strikes (12) in the fourth inning.

    Or just small sample size and always pitching against playoff caliber teams.
