What is this?

What is this?

---

If you want to see frustration,
Take a swing and miss the ball.
In the lineup, hesitation,
No one’s hitting, none at all.
Want a hit? It’s pure delusion,
Runners stranded, bases cold.
Every at-bat’s an illusion,
Dreams of runs that won’t unfold.

In this world of pure exasperation,
Astros’ bats just can’t ignite.
No home runs, no celebration,
Slumps that haunt us every night.

Pop-ups soar to shallow spaces,
Groundouts roll to kill the play.
Strikeouts paint the players’ faces,
Chasing pitches far astray.
Oh, the scoreboard’s cruel and taunting,
Zeros stack up, inning’s done.
Fans all sigh, their hopes are haunting,
Waiting for that clutch, big run.

In this world of pure exasperation,
Astros’ bats just can’t ignite.
No home runs, no celebration,
Slumps that haunt us every night.

AL West flat out sucks. Rangers lost their series to the White Sox too

So Cam smith, despite the ugly start is slashing .254/.340/.377 while playing excellent defense at a position hes new to.


For the month of May, hes hit .314 with on OBP right under .400. He's still not driving the ball as you'd like to see. Hasn't hit a long ball this month and only knocked in 3 runs. But when you consider where we was this time last year and how little development he had in the minors, you have to be pretty satisfied with how hes developing.

No matter how things go otherwise for Dana, at least he nailed the Tucker trade.

Yeah they kind of tossed him the deep end. April was tough but seems like hes getting the hang of it in May.


Youre right the power should come. He's not really a pull side hitter at this point right? That's where hell find the consistent power. Pull the hands and turn on a fastball. He's going oppo which is a great approach for a young dude to develop, if he can add power to that and develop an all fields approach, he could be a good one.

2 runs will probably be enough with Castillo on the mound for Seattle

What an AB by Paredes. Love watching him at the plate. Can’t be said enough

fricking ****s

Why isn’t Jake in the cleanup spot at this point? Walker is bad but exceptionally bad when it matters.
