Astros clearly have lost their mojo/confidence. Having a stubborn old manager doesn’t help. Dusty needs to fight for these guys. Not getting in the umpires faces last few games and letting Strom take the heat is absolutely ridiculous.
It's pretty obvious (and not at all predicted by anyone) that there's going to be an adjustment period for pitchers around the league, and it's not just spin rate (which is what everyone wants to talk about) it's merely being able to comfortably grip the ball.
