Astros lose by 1. Perhaps Toronto scores more in the bottom 9th, but the -2 was huge. Arrighetti was the biggest factor in tonight's loss though. Just go 5-2 vs Toronto-MINN and all is well. .
Loperfido needs to be back in AAA working on making contact at a much higher clip. The amount he is K’ing while showing no power is not going to cut it.
Everybody putting up their record post Abreu… but the offense (and record) post-Tucker has been equally if not more impressive. which is important since Tucker will be out a few more weeks. He’s growing a new leg at this rate.
He needs to be playing everyday also When you have him, Jon, Cabbage..all high K guys, this is what you get
Good points. Salazar has had some big hits since coming up and it's well documented that Fido has a lot of swing and miss so SO in that situation wasn't surprising by him.
i'll be critical here. Fido looked outmatched the whole game and has hit a rookie wall. Dubon should have pinch hit for Fido. If he fails, let Salazar hit since he's already drove in a run. Idk why the pinch hit of Cabbage for Salazar. Oh well, onto the next.
Now to me that's the answer. Dude has been as clutch as anyone on this team this season. Hopefully Joe wasn't confining himself to a lefty righty matchup. If so, that's shortsighted of him.
Cabbage was an awful choice and I thought that immediately so this isn't hindsight. He's not a contact hitter.
