Well I'm glad someone learned how to use the Crawford boxes as a LHH, just wish it was one of our guys.
I don't care who you are, a team can only sustain so much talent drain on their roster before it starts to show.
Leverage guys are now rested !!! One of the worst games in franchise history by allowing 4 HRs and getting blown TF out. Stros need health, luck, and/or a starter that doesn't destroy a game before 6 outs. Stros record still equals great position. Rinse this game off and win today.
Astros 4-0 in last 4 road games. iT MuSt bE tHe bAtTerRs eyE AgaIN!!!!!!! (which General Kurtz proceeds to take a huge dump on)
This is going to be an unpopular take, but there's have a better roster and a better team than the Astros right now. AAAA players are AAAA players because they are good but not great at baseball. They will do some great productive things on a baseball field, but the more they play, the more opportunity there is for their shortcomings to show. Over the course of 162 games every team needs them but every game and every AAAA player is a toss of the dice. And if you toss the dice too many times, the house will eventually win. These guys need to be replaced by legitimate MLB guys. That can be by trade, return from injury, or even the right ptospect being brought up. But it will end up a wasted season otherwise. Fortunately, it is still late July and not early August. This has a very 2017 feel. The team has been great all year but is running out of gas and needs help. It's more challenging because of less prospect currency to use, but hopefully Jim Crane and Dana Brown see this too and shock us. And FWIW, Correa is exactly like Verlander was in 2017- having an uninspiring season and owed a bunch of money for multiple additional seasons, but generational talent, a history of success, and a big name the team and fanbase can get excited about. There are other options, of course but the similarities there are uncanny.
