This was the second day in a row I woke up in the middle of the night in Europe, turned on a tie game, and saw the Astros do all sorts of stupid **** to give up a lead. They look more jet lagged than I am - I’m pretty sure I could have covered first…
Offense currently without Yordan or Tucker who have both been somewhat constants during the peak offensive performances this season. Yuli hasn’t done much after coming off the IL. Was in a HR drought prior to the IL trip (I believe he finally did get 1 in SF). Altuve/Correa have had horrible August months. The only guys currently playing with a semblance of consistency are two guys who probably shouldn’t be playing every single day out of the risk of injury (Brantley, Diaz). You try to avoid team-wise slumps/injuries all occurring at the same time… but seems like this is happening for them in August.
