Astros will be fine. I still predict they will win the West. They have the best team in the west and staff by a mile

The thing that sucks is that the shite is mental now. They know they suck on the road. They know they can't beat the Rangers. Here's Altuve's explanation on his terrible at bat last night.




And that's the fatal flaw with this team. They've gotten caught up in the home runs they hit. They all want to win the game with one swing and don't think about something else. It was the 7th inning Jose. You're not winning the game with one swing right there!

It's definitely mental. It's almost like they go out on the road trying not to lose. When you play without that edge and play scared you make a lot of mistakes.

The Rangers made us pay for those mistakes.

I'd love to rip on Altuve but we have to remember, he's not some experienced veteran. He's never been in a situation playing games that matter. We look to him to lead the clubhouse, but he has a lot of growing up to do himself still. He'll figure out, grow and mature.

I'll give him that hes not experienced in relevant major league games. But he's playing in his 5th Major League season. He's pretty experienced. I'll say to the point that these situations shouldn't be overwhelming.

When Carlos Gomez'is plate approach is "above average" for your team... you're in trouble

So our bullpen has a 20% HR/FB rate. That's absurd.

We aren't swinging well and have been incredibly unlucky with pitching

Alright so I'm in the semifinals in fantasy baseball after owning the top spot in the league all season. Currently getting crushed and will need a major comeback to win

I know nobody cares and posting fantasy shite is the worst


BUT.....I figured picking up and playing Canha or Valencia might be a smart move the way they play against us

Or maybe even Burns. I'm leaning towards Canha cause it'd be easier to fit him in my lineup. Who do y'all think is the biggest Astro killer on that team?

I can't even talk about fantasy baseball after I had the second most points scored in my league and didn't make the playoffs.
