    this has been my biggest issue with Joe, the constant line up shuffling

    Bigass popup by Cam. That's unfortunate, he was on it.

    Watching CB Bucknor call balls-strikes is a lot like watching Happy Gilmore 2.

    I’ll settle for more base hits and doubles from him this year. Ready for him to get hot again.

    This may be the rookie wall some of us feared

    You’re close.

    This is almost unwatchable. My wife gave up and went to bed.

    I blame the stupid new Astros hats for all of this.

    Smith tailed off long before moving to leadoff.

    What amazing hitter on the Astros roster would you like hitting leadoff?

    If the lineup never shuffled, Cam Smith would still be hitting 8th or 9th and one of the backups to the backups to the backups that are now in the Astros lineup would be hitting #1 and #3 to fill Pena and Yordan's spots.

    The 4 game win streak was a placebo. This team is still really struggling.

    Our offense is once again struggling against mediocre pitchers.......unreal.

    We are really starting to miss all those starting bats.

    And the A's SUCK....we should be rolling over them.

    I suspect it's because he and the front office know more about what the Astros players need than the random "sane" fan watching on TV.

    Kinda hard if your 1 and 2 hitters are well essentially dead.
