The post to which you were replying clearly stated "since the All-Star Break". You knew that when replying here, but I've made the edit nonetheless. Care to quit deflecting and address the question?
I've already said this but Pena could've beaten out that double play if he actually ran hard. Why did he give up so quick?
Ok Dusty RH starter tomorrow. Here's your lineup. Altuve 2B Bregman 3B Yordan DH Diaz C Tucker RF Chas LF Abreu 1B Meyers CF Pena SS
The Astros have a tougher schedule right now than the Rangers - it’s just a fact. So the Astros lost by one run to a team over .500 on the road - while having the pitcher that has struggled for 6 weeks on the mound? Okay- these types of games are toss ups. The key is to win series and avoid getting swept. I wanted to win this game - but I fail to see why the sky is falling.
Supposedly he is going through some personal stuff. These guys are people - and some people cannot compartmentalize well and it impacts all parts of their lives.
It always amuses me when they talk about adjustments. For example with Jeremy it was adding a leg kick, then taking away the leg kick or the Fox broadcast on how Chas' standing straighter in the box has turned him into Ken Griffey jr. Jeremy will figure it out. 2nd year slumps happen. Not saying it's not frustrating.
The Astros now are 24-14 in their last 38 games…. The Rangers are 19-19 in that same period of games. Rangers have a slightly easier schedule - but Astros have added more and better players from IR and deadline… a lot of the Rangers season is going to come down to how they play the Mariners.
The Astros have a pretty tough stretch between now and the 20th of August. But we have 15 remaining games against opponents currently under .500 and I believe the Rangers have 9. The Astros will be fine and the schedule will even out in the Astros favor as long as they handle business against the teams they should handle business against. Especially starting towards the end of the month
