McCullers never threw a pitch this year Garcia needed TJ after 6 starts Urquidy wasn't good and then got hurt after 7 starts Altuve has missed about 2 months with his thumb and his other injuries Alvarez is missing significant time Abreu was one of the worst hitters in baseball for 2 months Montero is awful Bregman started slow... again Tucker is having a down year Maldy is even worse This team has overachieved.
maybe i'm wrong but i believe dusty told the guys to swing at 1st pitch more since yordan is out. correct? if so, then the approach is fuggin stupid.
A week or two ago, they said that Dusty asked the whole team to start doing it. He thought they were being too patient.
0-12 tonight, no walks, unearned run Can't have that and expect to win Eta- 1-12 !!... Getterdun Abreu
Solid contact by Abreu to no avail Stros set for another sh1tty loss --- 2-0 DPs. advantage STL.. 3-1 walks, advantage STL.. 3-0 WPs, advantage STL Surprise us
Astros are a .500 team if you take out the 2 Oakland sweeps. Just not enough consistent hitting on this team.
