Well. At least this is pretty much the only time the Yankees have beat us in any meaningful way. In October we live rent free in all their and their wives heads.
That Red Sox sweep doesn't look as impressive seeing the 13-2 whooping the Royals are putting on them now.
As much as I despise a Dusty lineup lately the fact is McCormick wasn't saving anyone on the mound tonight. Your top 6 were 3-20, 3-20! AND JV was just ass, pure and simple.
These 'weaker' teams are all fighting. There is no 'easy' schedule talk. KC is putting up 13 runs on the Red Sox. The Yankees hate the Stros. There's never any friendly laughing conversations at first base with those guys. They're going to go all out.
It's a home ball park problem. They are just lack urgency and focus here. I thought they would've learned from the Mariners sweep..or the recent Red Sox split. Dusty needs to get these guys to play as motivated as they do on the road. We're averaging 2 more runs on the road than at home. That's a huge difference.
The Astros have to figure out this MMP problem. Having a negative run differential at home is ridiculous.
No worries. All the AL West contenders lost tonight. On to the next. Please put our best 1-9 in Dusty. Chaz and Brantley instead of Meyers and Maldy.
Nah we got a manager problem. Every team lost tonight in division race, but Astros will never get 1st. Astros win tomorrow, it's guaranteed Mariners and/or Rangers will win.
These piss poor performances at home are inexcusable. Facing a pitcher who had almost a ERA of 6 and we barely scraped one run off him? Pathetic. If this happens against an ace, you tip your cap but not against a pitcher like Rodon.
Four hits? Four hits? Weak sauce. I don't understand this team. How can they go from slapping the ball over the yard to this?
