He hit the snot out of that ball too. Hopefully it’s a good sign.

Man, what a smooth play by Correa!
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Well that sucks.  Dallas still looks like good Keichel.

And Gattis AB was encouraging if unproductive.

Well that should just about do it.

3 games, Astros have scored in a total of 3 innings.

They’ve only had two base runners even reach 2B tonight.

The starting pitching in the last three games has been magnificent. Looks like all three losses.

VAUNT, dammit!

This approach of taking two strikes then flailing is not working.

T9:

Diaz in...

Correa...3-1...draws a lead off walk
Gurriel lines out to CF
Reddick, pinch hitting for Gattis...quickly down 0-2...1-2...flails at one in the dirt 3ft outside
Correa steals 2B
Marwin...flailing at sliders in the dirt...2-2...fouls off a hanger...3-2...strikes out swinging

Astros go down 2-1

guess that makes sense.  we do that at UH games.  just reminded me of Atlanta.

The starting pitchers need to meet with the rest of the team and give them what for.  This is embarrassing for this team.  I hope Hinch, the psychologist figures it out soon.

I want Luhnow, the General Manager, to get better hitters on the club.

Maybe the best run of starting pitching I’ve seen in years. The worst run of offense I’ve ever seen.

Well that game was a pathetic shit fest on offense. Kuechel looked 2015 great. The outfield grass was one the worst I've ever seen and I'm including the public fields I play on every Sunday. At some point these guys will hit, maybe, hopefully, eventually.

Time to dump Springer, Altuve, Bregman, Correa, Marwin, Gurriel...

They will hit. But it will hurt until they do.
