    LOL

    Pujols is glacially slow these days. Altuve had time to go deep in the hole, and readjust his grip.

    just looking back on the early days of the dark ages when Nick Tropeano was one of the few guys in the Astros system worth keeping an eye on

    8 batters, 5 strikeouts wtf is wrong with us this year. It's ridiculous. We were first in HRs and last in strikeouts (not sustainable I know) but now its like we are last in HRs and first in strikeouts (not true but closer than the opposite).

    EDIT: 6 of 9 batters now.. not understanding how we got this bad about it.

    The strikeout rate is becoming alarming after nearly a month of play. Something needs to change.

    Yeah...that 5.1 innings with 4 runs, 6 hits and 5 walks should strike fear into the hearts of every Astro hitter. Right now, he just looks like an average pitcher. Obviously that could change, but I was expecting a better performance from him.

    Springer has just missed out on HR's in consecutive at bats now.

    Alright, just what the doctor ordered.

    I had to step outside and talk to a visitor...what did Bregman's hit look like?

    Stassi is really good behind the plate.

    Sharp line drive just got past Valbuena's glove (to his left/not down the line). Got all the way into the corner because LF was playing very far to the right.

    The LF had a long way to run, he was way over in left center.

    Yall had me really confused. Cozart is at 3rd and Luis is at 1B, correct? And the ball was hit past Cozart to LF, correct? If so, I get it. Thanks.

    Springer, for the 3rd time today, just misses a home run.
