Tucker has played 1B before... but that still leaves you with a hole somewhere. The Astros only have 6 guys worth putting in an MLB lineup right now, 7-9 are going to be a black hole of suck unless Yuli figures shite out.

It's not the pitching so much as the defense.

The Astros have been squaring them up pretty well, other than those few innings where the shadows were a nightmare.

TB just always seems to be standing in the right spot. And Wendle was awesome at 3rd.

Although McCullers and Framber were awesome

Not picking up at least one W between their two starts hurts.

I saw yesterday that so far between the two games the Astros' xBA was .377 and the Rays' was .180 or so. So... that's just shite luck.

ETA:

So, how is it the Astros have only managed three runs in a pair of losses to the Rays? Make no mistake about it, Houston has had some pretty horrific luck, especially in Game 2.

Consider this: All five of Bregman's batted balls in Game 2 had an exit velocity of at least 98.4 mph, per Baseball Savant, yet he was 0-for-5 on the day.

Bregman faced Rays right-hander Nick Anderson with the bases loaded and the Astros trailing 4-2 in the ninth Monday. He lined a ball into the gap in right-center, a ball that had a respectable expected batting average (xBA) of .430, per Baseball Savant. Yet it was gloved for the final out.

Kyle Tucker had a pair of flyouts with xBA marks over .500, and George Springer's double-play ball in the ninth (which sort of killed Houston's momentum) had a .540 xBA.


Bleacher Report

This sort of luck has to change... just keep putting good swings on the ball.

First two games were bad luck, lack of timely hitting and the Ray's not hitting particularly well but getting the one timely hit. However, losing those two games dooms the Stros, because going forward the Rays pitching outclasses and that's going to be the difference. This could be a sweep.

The two best teams this year are LA and Tampa...doesn't mean they'll meet though.
