    All that money that went to Montero, Abreu, Brantley could've bought to 2 starting pitcher and Brandon Drury at first base who is raking for our division rivals Angels

    They’re not doing anything against Scherzer tonight which should surprise no one.

    You think the franchise has "cratered"?

    Difference between this year and last season is clearly pitching. We had 6-7 man legit rotation vs 2 good pitchers this year. Yes only 2 quality pitchers and even them are mediocre this year so results reflects that…

    Bielak, France, and Blanco delivered good outings and we still couldn't win. Dusty has not managed this team well.

    The offense is the biggest problem

    Hitters aren’t hitting and have terrible on base percentages.

    The irony of The Last Of Us being more uplifting lol. Great show though. Especially the gay love story @clos4life.

    Believe or not, the pitching is far closer to last season than the offense is

    Astros are still #1 in ERA this year vs 2nd last season

    The offense's OPS has dropped 11 spots vs last year

    Perhaps the defense is worse, which doesn't help the pitching

    Injuries and Dusty not adjusting his managing style has sunk this season and it’s starting to feel like a free fall.
