    The leader in their division suffered a pretty epic collapse that season.

    They would have made the playoffs regardless.

    Stay positive, you jackass. ;)

    Gonzalez could've ran faster on that grounder.

    Castro doing well with his OBP relative to his BA... .120+ points higher

    Nice bunt

    Let's go Tuve!

    Buena this year reminds me a bit of Carter last year

    Being more patient and drawing walks, but losing the one thing that made him valuable..:the aggressive power

    He wasn't going to be safe on that ground ball.

    Yeah. Fortunately (knock on wood), Altuve has managed both.

    No doubt, it just looks very bad.. especially given the team's start. They need every inch they can get.

    Correa should have played short stop there.

    Take away the double play. Take the ball off the leg there.

    Not sure how management thinks some players will turn into something they aren't. Gattis isn't a contact guy and a GIDP is almost a given if a runner is on first with less than 2 outs. Insanity.

    gattis had no spring training. After his first 7 starts, he is hitting .318/.385/.591 for a .976 OPS in his last 6.

    Everyone has their issues with him, but he's been ok lately. He's coming around.

    Quiet series thread. Gattis needs to get himself some RISPRBIs

    Keuchel has constantly been under pressure this season.

    Not from opponents... from his teammates not scoring.

    Ditto the rest of the pitching staff.

    There's still opportunity for a turn around, though.
