I was being serious actually lol, I just don't have any confidence in anyone in the rotation other than France. With that said, Astros have no chance this year...
Would be funny with a man on 1st and less than 2 outs if the Astros could hold up 3 fingers from the dugout to give Maldy an auto K.
Why the Astros can’t hit/score after scoring double digit runs… Why the Astros can’t hit pitchers with ERAs over 5… Some of the world’s greatest mysteries ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's starting to feel that way now which is frustrating. It's really been a poor year by the Astros standards from the top down. The complacency is really starting to burn and cost them as they scratch and claw to stay in the playoff race.
Last week or so, Abreu made a 3 run error. Now tucker makes a 3 run error. I think Abreu’s was against Tampa. I love how we get up for good teams.
About four .230 hitters in a row...hell, you could put a mannequin with a stationary bat sticking out and get as good of results. Just unreal.
Its pretty bad, I know we were all cheering for Verlander coming back but if you really think about it. Its bad news. We let Verlander go because we didn't need him, it wasn't worth spending the money he was looking for knowing we had multiple aces. Our aces have been so inconsistent this year that a rookie has outperformed them. Add injuries and now the Astros ran back to their previous ace which they had decided to move on from just months back. Astros had to use some big time prospects to get him here and nothing has changed. The team is still complaisant, bored even. Not sure we needed Verlander to miss the playoffs or lose the division.
