    @Buck Turgidson says we are 11th in the league in batting with RISP. Show me the proof Buck. They hit like crap with RISP. One of the biggest reasons they are 10 games behind the Mariners.

    Just when you think things will turn around we find more befuddling ways to lose

    Always something

    Pitching did its job, but Yordan had a "family issue", Tucker is hurt worse than Dana said, and Astros will inevitably get screwed with ball-strikes.

    Astros triple the opponent in hits.

    Of course there's always something -- always a way to lose in '24.

    Also, analytics says we won this game… regardless of the score.

    They literally put JV on the DL today, could have called him up.

    At least we don’t have to hear…it’s early in the season. Sellers at the trade deadline. Start with Bregman.

    What made you think things were turning around?

    JV is hurt worse, of course, than initially stated.

    Tucker... see JV

    Yordan has a "family issue".

    This was all known prior to first pitch.

    You have to be in the minors for 10 days between being sent down and called up, he was sent down on the 11th. I know there's an IL caveat, but does that let you replace a pitcher with a position player (or vice-versa)?

    eta:
    Well that certainly makes that decision easier.

    Still curious about my question above.

    We are 12 in batting average with runners in scoring position, but 19th in RBI in those situations

    We are 7th in average in close and late situations, but 18th in RBI in those situations

    We are an average offensive team that is coming up even short of that in critical situations

    That's just the truth

    Funny thing is, as much hell as this group caught for their play at home

    OPS Away, 19th in baseball

    At MMP
    OBP: 6th
    SLG: 1st
    OPS: 1st

    If only we could hit on the road . . . .
