    Astros offense looks like the Braves vs. Phillies.

    What, telling the pitcher to throw a BP slider right down the middle?

    He got lucky on one of the balls too --- it was a strike.

    Justin’s not pitching his best but he’s not terrible. It’s just that Montgomery is having a great game.

    I think the offense is having a bad game . Montgomery is hittable

    Hideous inning for Verlander and the offense, but this is far from over. Hold the lead at two runs. Get Montgomery out of the inning. Expose the bullpen. They're going to have to win some games this way. They're not going to go out and put up 5+ every game.

    Need to get to their bullpen. If they can't hit him they at least need to run up the pitch count. Keep it close and beat them late...

    Forget it being at home. Alvarez has had terrible swings, ABs that aren’t usual. Non competitive.

    He is but we’re not getting the timely ones and can’t get it out of the park. How much is that on the hitters and how much is on the pitcher

    If the braves can get shutout, so will the astros.

    It's such a weird thing how mediocre the offense is at home
