    More 2-out magic that came from a walk, what a surprise.

    Jeff Bagwell does what Crane and the front office wants - he is a figurehead that speaks for the team and does what they ask him to do. He is a single voice in the room - his voice isn't even as persuasive as someone like Enos Cabell, who has more input.

    Bagwell was asked to be a cheerleader and to work with Abreu - which he did, and predictably it didn't work.... those are decisions made by ownership and the General Manager.

    Rather than pointing at Jeff Bagwell - ask why the Astros did not address their need for another bat or starting pitcher during the off season. They managed to salvage a deal for Kikuchi, but they NEVER added the bat that they knew they needed, because they assumed they could do it cheaper at the deadline.

    It’s astonishing guys can be paid millions of dollars to throw strikes and then can’t throw strikes
