If they’re going to get swept at home by a division and pursuing playoff rival in late August, perhaps they don’t deserve to make the playoffs.
Lots of time left to find out. Seattle is playing well though. Houston is a more talented team when they are both playing well. Houston just isn't hitting on any cylinders right now. World Series Hangover is a real thing.
DNP until early-September He's gassed Balls are non-competitive Strikes are wheelhouse Terrible control
So we lose the tie breaker to Seattle at seasons end. Great news is Dusty will be no more if we miss the playoffs.
Obviously Miller High Life was not the correct beer, I should have really slummed it and gone with Busch. Or bought a 20 year old pack of Red Dog off of ebay.
Reminder that we got swept by the A’s in September of 2017…and lost 5 in a row in early August My concern right now is the pitching. I think the lineup has enough to win in the playoffs, but if we can’t rely on starters that’s a problem
Oh for f**k sake. Love how Altuve never moved and just said "you got it" Have I mentioned how much terrible fundamental baseball pisses me off?
The team probably had a healthy lead. This team is used to having healthy leads at this point in the season, not fighting for their playoff lives. Yes the pitching is a major concern and is deteriorating.
No, his only play was to 2nd. Pena did not cover the bag, so Altuve had to race to the bag himself, where his momentum was carrying him. To try to turn two, he'd have had to either throw across his body, or come to a full stop before getting set to throw. Altuve did what he was supposed to, that is on Pena for not covering the bag.
