    That 2-hole really has Pena overwhelmed

    He and Tucker really need to get their **** back together

    I'll also add, Pena's been slumping a bit, but it doesn't have anything to do with lineup slot:

    batting 2nd: 92 PA .284 .304 .523 .827

    eta: VS the 7th hole

    116PA .274 .328 .425 .752

    good points, I agree. Although, Pena looks to also have 35-40 homer power. Pena starts to make a little more contact and that OPS will start to rise.

    Isnt there always one crappy team that we struggle with every year?

    Bobrek, show me how it’s not true and subtly tell me I’m a moron in the process.

    Agreed. I think Peña actually might hit more HR’s than Correa which shouldn’t happen, but there you are.

    Let’s go offense. Wake up. He’s retired 6 in a row.

    This guy with an ERA over 8 has 1 hit us through 3 and 2/3. Sending 8 in a row back to the pine....

    That's how the Astros roll. High ERA...struggle at the plate.

    Poor Yuli. This has to be killing him. Getting old is a b****. Good thing for him he’s incredibly wealthy and still only old in MLB terms.

    Dude starts the game with an ERA over 8.

    48 pitches through 4 innings of 1 hit ball. Sitting down the last 9 Astros. Man, always downplay to the **** tier of the A's.

    Time for a little jinx....and for the bats to come to life!

    He did the same last time he faced us, until the 5th inning.

    I'd prefer Odo throw strikes and not nibble like he did to Laureano.

    Meyers has a bit of a candy arm.
