    That’s largely rests on the responsibility of the stars or the guys that were expected to produce if given more consistent playing time.

    Meanwhile, the BBS will argue about how Dubon needs more playing time which is a 180 from last year… if this place is completely contradicting itself every which way, not sure how anybody can realistically expect a front office to do the “right” thing. What is that?

    Carlos Hernandez lol

    Everyone who was an Astro fan back then had such high hopes for that guy. Didn’t he get hurt running the bases?

    He has bullpen sessions every week. And posts feeds on them.

    But he’s also knee deep in coffee cocktails as well… and posts feed on those too.

    He’s probably still has PTSD from his last outing.

    what are you talking about? Dubon held down the fort when altuve was out at the beginning of the year last year. Dude had a 20 gms hitting streak at one point.

    What you're thinking of is 2022 when Dubon was god awful. Defense has always been there tho.

    I’m saying that the energy is pointed at the wrong people not coming up as they should.

    The pitching is in between those…. But if you blink you may miss it.

    Garcia is going to be back well before him. And at full strength, Garcia is a better pitcher. He may be better than Framber when its all said/done.

    Altuve is really struggling right now. Our most important hitters have to step up.

    Yes Abreus production is similar to Chaz and Meyers last season.

    How the hell is it contradicting to say Dubon is clearly the better option now? Granted its certainly not the reason we suck this season, but it sure as hell isn't helping.
