After Dallas, it's a whole lot of nothing. I don't feel confident about winning any game when the Kid isn't on the bump.

I was concerned about our lineup as well. We barely limped into the playoffs with nearly every one of our hitters having career years.


Altuve
Valbuena
Gattis
Rasmus
Marwin
Conger


All those guys set their career high in home runs last year. Most of them are very streaky hitters who can't get above .240. Since we don't hit worth a damn situationally, we rely on homers. Our offense relied on a ton of career years that you can't count on replicating.
