    How you gonna ask a batter to drastically change his swing 2/3 of the way through the season?

    What kind of operation are we running here?

    Hitting coaches need to go, third base coach needs to go. Heck, while we are at it, they all need to go.

    Has anyone checked for unusual betting activity against the Astros recently. Seems to me like they are throwing games.

    We make journeyman pitchers look like Cy Young on a regular basis.

    lol ****ing Diaz swatting at flies, Browns catcher or not you have to get your SH catcher in this game. He's been the only consistent bat.

    Right now, our entire lineup would be batting no better than 7th for any other team.

    I think we're throwing the game.

    Correa's base hit with of course no one in scoring position just to throw things off enough not to make it seem too obvious.

    Not sure, but definitely didn't have the Astros + pitchers effect.

    From last month:

    Peña or Alvarez healthy would have been the difference maker.

    The Astros just can’t play from behind. Trying to overcome just one run is like pulling teeth.

    Yeah, but thats more of this pitch out performs this pitch, throw it more. Not, let's change your approach at the plate which strikes me as harder to implement post-trade.
