    Yeah, but I’m not putting this on Greinke.

    Doesn’t matter who pitched it the Astros can’t score.

    They have done this all season. They go through lulls before exploding, then are solid for awhile and the pattern repeats.

    Having basically a pitcher hitting in the 7th hole doesn’t help

    I think it might be. The Astros faced a sorry ass schedule down the stretch full of Mariners and Angles at the end.

    Everyone was hyping up this series. Would suck for the Astros to fall flat on their asses like last year's ALCS

    Um....They only beat the Rays because Glasnow was tipping is pitches. Otherwise.....they haven't hit ****.

    They are getting EMBARRASSED at home with 2 hits. They couldn't hit a pitcher with a 6+ ERA on the road.



    At least I can watch Deshaun Watson running the Texans' offense.

    They better win tomorrow....or they may get SWEPT.

    And when that happens, if it does, you can feel superior to all of the rest of us for thinking of that now.

    Eh, f#&k this game. 1st pitch home runs is no way to start your postseason career, son.

    I guess the good thing is...we didn't waste a Verlander/Cole start on a putrid showing from the offense. If their was one game our bats don't show up and take time to get adjusted, I'd rather it be Urquidy or Greinke.

    It is 6-0. Both offense and pitching are at fault.

    Thank God they were able to steal signs in 110 games or this season would have been terrible.

    I think he is hurt.

    I have no doubt about him when healthy. He is basically a first ballot Hall of Famer when healthy.

    Greinke was fine. I’m not blaming Greinke at all.

    I never said the pitching gets a free pass. I’m just saying it really doesn’t matter if it was Cole or Verlander if the offense does nothing.

    Go on Abreu, just throw a strike when you're ready. No pressure.
