    Why not just ensure your best hitters get the most PAs instead of engaging in 3D checkers?

    Can The Stros just head back on the road already?

    Sure, I would start to improve the team by getting 5 starting players back from injuries within the next month, having:

    Yordan
    Brantley
    Altuve
    Chas
    LMJ

    makes the team a bit more fine, don't you think?

    This team is NOT fine, there is LOTS of room for improvement.
    NO.

    Nola and Wheeler are very good pitchers, and the team was due for a letdown.

    Losing the first 2 don't bother me.

    But it would be nice to see Urquidy have a nice start and to get a win today.

    I'll agree with this sentiment.

    Not gonna win every series and the Phillies are the hottest team in baseball right now in case y'all aren't aware.

    We just ran into the proverbial buzzsaw.

    I would feel better about them being fine if Jose Abreu wasn’t looking like a mistake.

    I am not ready to panic, but I am getting a little concerned.

    It seems like when the Astros go through these embarrassing offensive slumps, it sparks a fire and they get it going. I'm hoping for 7-10 runs today.

    OK, that's Alvarez, but what about the rest of the line-up?

    The Yankees have lost twice to the Rangers, so there's good news.

    Because you want your best hitters to come up with higher chances of people on base, instead of having Yordan Alvarez bat leadoff with Maldanado getting an out in front of him every at-bat.

    **** that ****. Astros were one of hottest teams in baseball too heading into this series. We should have won this series.

    I love a DH who bats .135.

    This might be the worst lineup the Astros have put on the field in five years.

    David Hensley was showing up to all public events around town during the off-season instead of focusing on his game. Batting .135…
