    To a fan, it certainly feels that way

    Another position player pitching 3 separate times within the last week. Where's Correa's highly touted leadership, again?

    At least the Mariners are getting blasted too. That 1st round bye is becoming less and less likely though (if they even make the playoffs, of course). That's why this series vs the Tigers was huge in that regard.

    Nothing about this team has felt like a contender since July

    I really wanted Espada to get totally embarrassed and lose 10-0.

    He deserves nothing better.

    Astros mindset 18 Wins 144 Losses

    Utility Bench Players Starting, Bad Middle Relief.

    Batting Lineup with 9 Strikeouts against Flaherty. AJ Hinch a Former Catcher knows the Pitch Calls and knows the weaknesses of Astro Hitters.

    Really bad Starting Pitching by Spencer Arrighetti again.

    Scott, Dubin they need to be replaced

    It really feels like the misuse of Hader that resulted in his injury has been the straw to break the camels back.

    Things can still turn around. Getting Javier back to pitching 6 innings a start and pitching well will go a long way.

    Garcia and Dubin and Arrighetti aren’t big league starters at this point and at sometime soon Alexander will lose his luster.

    None of this is going to matter if the players don't tweak their hitting fundamentals.
