You know, part the reason this team was hot early was because they were playing really tight defense. Lately? Not so much.

B2:

Pujols grounds to 3B, Marwin makes a spectacular diving stop, then gags the throw, as Carter can't help him out. Then moves to 2B on a passed ball.

Hinch challenging...wow, overturned as Pujols barely pops off the bag.

A couple of 2-out shift busters and a HBP has the bases juiced for the Halos.

Dear Ash and Blum,

Youre not out on a swing follow through if the ump doesn't think it's intentional. It's only a dead ball.

2-out walk to Trout, fat pitch to Pujols makes it a 2-1 Angels lead. And like after every 2-out HR, the very next pitch is a soft come backer to end the inning b

Double by Marwin and a single by Castro cut it to 3-2. Springer strikes out looking and Correa walks, putting the tying run in scoring position with 2 out.

Altuve with a rule book double, Castro scores to tie it up, but the bounce costs the Astros the lead as Correa is forced to stop at 3B.

Gattis strikes out on two pitches in the dirt. He may be leading the team in RBIs, but he sucks at driving in runs.

Thatcher promptly walks the the one lefthander he was brought in to face while taking 4 minutes to deliver the pitch, so Aybar easily steals 3B. First and third with one out.

Thatcher out, Harris in.

Halos attempt a safety squeeze on four straight pitches, finally gets it down, right to Carter who throws it to the backstop. Aybar scores, Joyce to 3B, Robertson to 2B.

Ugly.

Harris does a nice job bailing Qualls and Thatcher out of even bigger hole, but we go to the 9th, Astros chasing a run.

T9:

Rasmus grounds out 6-3
Carter, 0 for his last 13...makes it 0 for 14, grounding out 5-3
Tucker pops out F6

Bad luck and Chad Qualls strike again as the Astros go down 4-3.

He's doing OK: 278/384/525

I think they wanted him to use more of the field and stop being so pull happy.  Early in the year, I used to check to see where he was driving the ball and it seems like he was making progress, but I haven't seen a spray chart or anything.

It's a hard move for Luhnow to make, but it is a bind of his making.  Ideally, it would be nice to bring Singleton up and see if he might help, but how do you bring him up?  Seems like the only scenario where you try him out would be to demote a reliever, which has been a strength.  The other options, that I can think of at least, are to lose Gattis or Carter somehow, but then you are all in on Singleton, which I doubt makes them comfortable.

There is a lot of the team's game that doesn't look like April right now (to be expected) including the running game. Remember when they were running like banshee's putting pressure on the opponent? I think a lot of what is missing there is Altuve being on base every time you looked up and Marsinick was playing so well. That provided an energy and a spark that is missing. And those two are both nursing hammies.
