    LOL, well no kidding...getting guys off of the IL to replace the guys that they replaced in the first place sounds like a great plan, as I understand it Walter, it's a Swiss ****ing watch

    The Orioles have been playing much better than us for a good while now. They fired their manager and have turned it around. They are trending up, the Astros are plummeting south. Really, there’s no comparison between the 2 teams right now.

    Our bullpen is really in shambles.

    we thought astros loading the bases, not scoring, and struggling with RISP was bad

    boy this is even worst. they can't even get good contact.

    Feels like they’ve been blown out many times here. Lance McCullers definitely helped contribute to the cause.

    That run differential has really been happening recently. Games like this and the entire A's series was a series of skull humpings against us.

    Sanchez at least helped the -10 run differential from being -20 plus or so after today.

    a lot of the wins were due to a historically good start by the pitching and bullpen. go back and look at how many 1-2 runs win they had early in the season.

    now that pitching has fallen back down to earth hell even struggling, offense is not contributing enough.

    The Stros have the 13th best home record in MLB, and the 3rd best road record.

    gave brandon young his first MLB win

    about to give Kremer his first win since ASB.

    astros offense sure is a charity.

    We are witnessing a complete collapse. It simply took too long to get our players back and **** like Javier getting sick today and Pena missing 2 starts and crap like that is killing this team. Did you see our starting OF today? Dubon at 1b? This team is not talented enough to compete right now and we haven’t had an ounce of good fortune all season.

    And the Astros have a .256 team batting average. 2nd highest in the AL.

    Third highest in MLB!

    How about runs scored?

    this is more proof that batting average can be a useless stat sometimes.

    Pitching has been carrying us all year.

    Offense has never stepped up to carry us.
