    He doesn't swing the bat well on the road.

    His at bat before the last one was just terrible with him swinging way outside the zone. Then he takes good pitches and swings at bad ones in his last. Frustrating loss. That Marwin hit should have won it.

    On the road he swings at .279 and an OBP of .303 with not much power. And he is our leadoff hitter, ouch

    It is troubling that Conger, coming off a 3 hit/2 HR game on Saturday... hasn't had an AB since.

    Really need to get a 3rd catcher up here stat to not be afraid to make use of his bat... hell, if we're going to get rid of Carter, I'd be all for that move.

    Castro with a fail and Altuve too. I'll continue to stand by my position that Altuve is not a good hitter but just good at hacking. Frustrating to say the least. Hinch didn't have a good game either.

    Hinch is losing way too many games with stupid decisions, especially on the road. I take Tucker over Carter ANY DAY.

    He did pretty well in his first road game.

    Altuve probably had the two worst AB's that I've ever seen him have.

    There's no way that Hinch didn't PH Conger in the 9th because he was afraid to waste his bat.

    I thought this was going to be an easy series. I saw a lot of people posting brooms.
