As much I can't stand Dusty's lineup choices, the pitching looks gassed. Not sure how to fix that this late in the season.
Ok. Stupid idea. I'm just grasping at straws As for your tombstone question: I became a fan when my mom was a front desk clerk at the spring training hotel In Cocoa Florida. She introduced me to Jose Cruz and J.R. Richard among others and Julio Gonzalez gave me a box of baseball cards. Many many more stories about those 2 years.
Vote: No Astros on the Road: Team Goal of 10 hits or more, set the table, string some hits together, protect the strike zone and make pitchers pitch a lot of pitches, get to the bullpen. Astros at Home: "Team Goal?" individuals swinging for the fences, Hero-Ball, no discipline at the plate, 3 pitches and out too often. Pitching is the same on the road as it is at home. Too many pitches middle middle to fat and juicy below the letters strikes. In the playoffs I hope the offense has a mindset like they do on road games. Pitching becomes nipping the corners, keeping the pitches low, raise the eye level with high fastball strikes or higher here and there. No more meatballs letter high. Go ASTROS!!
I tried to step back and think of this objectively, let's face it we've been spoiled. The Astros have been a relative dynasty for the last 6 years. We expect this team to win, to overcome and to steal victories from the clutches of defeat. This year has been fraught with injuries and questionable decisions, yet we're still in the fight. However, we're getting our asses kicked and we're on the ropes. It ain't looking good, but hopefully we can manage a wild card spot to see if we can gut it out and get a fresh start in the playoffs.
I never understood this thread. Name me a single scenario in the history of time and space when panicking helped anything?
If you just sat down and chilled the **** out, your panic wouldn't be so widespread Also, there ain't but one way out, and one way in, for these Stros
