    What did we do to deserve this.

    Nice NINE pitch inning.

    The old saying" doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. How about we just for once put away the ambush game plan. You might see the same results but FFS try it up and down the LU.

    I’ve come full circle and now don’t want us making any moves. No need to lose any future talent to try and supplement this lost cause of a roster.

    i was told this team point of emphasis going into this season was working the count.

    all of that out the window.

    I had a feeling this would happen after Astros fans were boasting and bragging on social media after the D-Backs sweep. Same thing happened a few weeks ago after we swept the Dodgers. Feeling ourselves and team a bit too much only to get humbled again.

    They ran up the pitch counts early on both Thursday and Friday’s pitchers. Didn’t change anything. We’ve got too many terrible hitters in this lineup…Singleton is batting 5th lmao

    size matters. symmetry of ballparks’ outfields are relevant.

    All 3 first pitches were strikes. So you want players to take good pitches to hit and intentionally get down 0-1 in the count and you think it will lead to better results?

    If pitchers are throwing strikes, players should swing at them. The last thing you ever want a baseball player to do is second guess their instincts and hesitate. You end up with Morgan Ensberg.

    Which is all irrelevant to your contradicting complaints.

    I love big Jon, but hitting 5th is laughable.

    Not really…kind of hard to win when you are missing 18 guys including our 3 best hitters.

    I wish I had faith that injured players could return in a timely manner when they are Astros.
