    Can't win if the other team has 7x more hits.

    Did we even threaten at all in the 8th?

    2 things I wanted in the pitching department this past off season.

    1) do not sign Montero
    2) sign Wacha for starting pitching insurance

    Wacha is 8-2 on a sorry ass Padres team witha 2.84 era. He's costing them 6.5 million a year.

    Had we made just those 2 decisions the Astros would be at the very worst tied with the Rangers for first place, instead of being 5 games back.

    Whenever a player gets on first with any speed at all they might as well take second with Maldy behind the plate these days.

    Montero.

    Do we straight out release him in the middle of next season when his era is still over 5?

    Had to step away from the game....I see I haven't missed anything. Offense only has 2 hits.....vs the rangers 15. LOL, quite the ugly game. Still surprised they only scored 4.

    Nothing says giving up like letting Maldy lead off the 9th

    You're selling Eovaldi short. He's just having one of those magical career years. He's legit.

    This was going to be a tough matchup for us to overcome no matter which way you sliced it.

    Total dominance in every phase of the game, BUT it is just ONE game.

    Maldy on pace for 25 RBIs.

    No offense can afford that level of ineptitude.

    Probably too little too late but that bobble by Lowe may have perked up the Astros for the rest of the series.
