Offense/luck has been so much different than April. Astros couldn't buy 1st-to-3rd or 2nd-to-home to begin the season.
2nd strike made Chas go into protect mode as he's already at 2 strikes. If it wasn't 2 strikes, i doubt he would have swung at that.
This one feels like a must win, given the starting pitching matchup. That said, we are having one of those games where you're wasting too many opportunities that seemingly come back to bite you.
