not going to panic yet but what has happened to chris carter. I'd rather give some time to marwin at first for a couple of games til carter gets right.

I'm just going by what the Tribe guys are saying. They've been PHing for him against LH relievers all year. I suspect they left him in to keep Neshek out of the game.
With Springer out, we can't really tolerate slumps. Correa went 0-12, Carter is in one of his dead zones, and Castro is in a 4-35 stretch, and Rasmus is 3-17 with 9 K's since returning. Just gotta hang with it right now.
Yeah, outside of that mini 2 game sweep of Colorado, the Astros haven't won a road series since April.
When you see a post being ignored, and you think to yourself "I don't remember that name, why am I ignoring him" You check the post, and immediately realize why somebody is being ignored. At this point, I should learn to trust my judgement.
Wow, damn... didn't realize. Total games (home vs road) will even out before the All-Star break, maybe we can begin to turn the tables record-wise before the 2nd half. Sucks to waste a solid outing from Straily, but the sky isn't falling. The bullpen will break out of their funk and Lowrie's return is imminent (I think). Stros are 2-4 since Springer went down.
And now he has 4 hits including a 2B & 3B in 13 PAs against them this year with only 2Ks. If Brantley walk was indeed intentionally unintenional walk, that is a move I don't understand. He's not hitting like he did last year.
