Rationalize? It was a pitch was down low and abreu went and got it. It went out of the park cause hes so strong. Theres no rationalizing a fact. That was very bad luck.
Have you ever watched any team for an entire season before? Stretches like this happen... where every ball you hit finds a glove, and every ball they hit seems to do damage... it evens out, provided they all stay healthy.
Yep, an offense that K's alot is never going to win a WS against pitchers who K's batters. Advantage SP.
Two nights in a row CHI just HAD to have a runner on when it happened.... smh Astro bats need to get going.
I think you need to make a trade. get rid of Valbuena, Villar, and some prospects for a major improvement at third.
Ok, you're right... every time the Astros give up a HR its because their pitcher sucks, and every time the Astros strike out its because their hitting sucks. Its a totally one-way relationship... only one team at fault. Keuchel threw a horrible pitch... can't believe Hinch left him in after that... gah!
We need to get rid of Carter, Valbuena, and anyone else who can't hit. 1 run in the last 2 games is just terrible. we need batters to hit for average instead of a HR or strikout.
