    Yep.

    It was still hit hard though… thats the only thing I’m taking away from that as a positive.

    Our Defense is just not as good, we lack fundamental discipline...

    Salazar has been horrible today on D.

    Seems 2024 has been opponent advantage, by far.

    - bloops
    - squibblers
    - seeing-eye
    - negative ball-strike calls, overall
    - injuries

    All those things lead to more Astros pitches.
    - more pitches thrown
    ' more arms necessary to throw them
    - more runs surrendered

    Regardless, in the end, Astros are *barely* removed -- 2 games behind -- from the playoffs.

    A little more health, plus a season that doesn't continue a prorated ‐1000 "luck" the Stros will win 90+ games.

    No team their right mind wants to face Houston in the playoffs.

    Enjoy the Dynasty.

    Bad defense today…

    Get the bullpen up.

    If we can get at least 5 innings from Spencer and only two runs, I am not complaining. No matter how ugly it is.

    I never could tell if Salazar flub'd it or if it got knocked out of his glove on the tag.

    Either way...

    with almost everyone available in the BP, it's the best you could ask for against this twins lineup.
