    McCullers never threw a pitch this year
    Garcia needed TJ after 6 starts
    Urquidy wasn't good and then got hurt after 7 starts
    Altuve has missed about 2 months with his thumb and his other injuries
    Alvarez is missing significant time
    Abreu was one of the worst hitters in baseball for 2 months
    Montero is awful
    Bregman started slow... again
    Tucker is having a down year
    Maldy is even worse

    This team has overachieved.

    maybe i'm wrong but i believe dusty told the guys to swing at 1st pitch more since yordan is out. correct?

    if so, then the approach is fuggin stupid.

    A week or two ago, they said that Dusty asked the whole team to start doing it. He thought they were being too patient.

    If you score 2 runs and only 1 is earned…you deserve to lose.

    It’s probably wise to be a yes man when you’re dealing with a guy like Dusty.

    I’m not sure “overachieving” is what this is called

    Astros are a .500 team if you take out the 2 Oakland sweeps. Just not enough consistent hitting on this team.
