    Chas McCormick with 3 hits.

    Chas McCormick this season has a regular Batting Stance. He was more amazing with crouch stance and really looked similar to Jose Altuve. It is sad to see this batting stance instead.

    Diamondbacks Brent Strom and Justin Verlander talked before the series started.

    Of course Brent Strom said his scouting report to his hitters, how to attack Justin Verlander. Justin should've avoided Brent Strom.

    Example
    Justin Verlander to Brent - My slider ain't working.

    Brent Strom to his hitters, wait for the slider.

    The best pitch he threw that got hit was the grand slam. Everything else was middle zone meat.

    Justin Verlander is in Spring Training Mode.

    He is quite behind and needs to catch-up playing MLB Level, instead of Sugarland Skeeters AAA.

    No team is perfect. Dodgers have MLB's best record, yet have 3 players in their lineup with a 600 OPS. Most of the Astros problems this season have been injury-related and some unfortunate luck. Jabreu probably costed us 3 games by himself, but he's been replaced by a viable option (for this season at least).

    Astros still have a somewhat comfortable lead for the division. JV won't be needed in the playoffs and the Astros have plenty of talent and experience to perform when it matters.

    Lol 7.5 games behind and they don’t have the benefit of games against us…no chance

    They can end the Mariners little hope they have though in the 7 games against them.

    At least we can't give up 8 runs by the 3rd today.

    JV has been beyond ineffective, he has been non-competitive his last couple of starts. Just a competitive start and we could've had a shot last night. These games being done by the 2nd inning are just killer.

    This team would be ****ed if we didn’t make the Kikuchi trade. Not sure if we even make the playoffs.

    We owe JV a couple more starts, but we can't let him torpedo the ship like Jose Abreu did.

    Same could be said about the Verlander trade last year.
