    Yes. Moreso than most teams hit good pitching.

    or else all their cumulative stats was based solely on bad pitching which means there isn’t much good pitching out there?

    again, no team hits good pitching all that consistently.

    Garcia, Framber, Grienke all look like solid 3.50-4.25 ERA type guys.

    Is that good hitting, bad pitching… but vice versa when the Astros are at bat?

    To your point we did dominate the red and white Sox this season.

    Just hard to see Crawford outplay Correa in all aspects this series. When is he going to snap out of his prolonged slump

    The Astros have the best record in baseball against good teams...by a lot.

    Yet people are doing an awful lot of whining around here.

    Reality is the Astors are going nowhere if our offense isn’t scoring 4+ in the playoffs. We don’t have a pitching staff that will shut out a team in playoffs

    Joe Espada is looking good for 2022 if that is the case.

    I feel a lot better about our bullpen than I did at the beginning of the week

    How are you defining his slump? He seems to have been getting on base a ton this road trip which is usually a sign of a good extended stretch.

    But the hitting has been other-worldly, and the bullpen reinforcements all have showcased some decent projectable stuff.

    Health is the only aspect this team can’t control going forward.

    He will. He was the first PH yesterday.

    It’s why I said we aren’t going anywhere in playoffs if we don’t average 4+ runs a game.

    our pitching staff can’t hold a playoff team to under 3 runs consistently.
