Astros @ Chisox, May 13th 2023

Dusty is very very slow to make any changes.

The Astros are now 22nd in runs scored, 22nd in OBP, 27th in slugging, 28th in OPS.

They are 2nd in runs allowed and 3rd in ERA.

The Astros have exactly 3 players above league average when it comes to OPS+

Yordan 157, Chas 121(12 games), and Tuck 115

Pena is exactly league average 100

Everyone else is 87 or below, Dubon is the one at 87 btw

According to twitter it’s all because of Bagwell.

Maybe Bregman’s wrist (surgery after the 21 season) is an issue.

Maybe it’s salsa poisoning.

I totally believe that. You give up a ground ball and think “Yay me!” Then you turn around and see it got through, and the thought becomes “Fuck me.”

He just shouldn’t pitch on Saturdays in May.

Like Lefty (I think) pointed out last night, the second and third hits that doomed Montero were total doinks.

Montero could throw immaculate innings the rest of the year and it wouldn’t save this offense.

Definitely. The bats need to get straightened out.

Never shoulda made bland ass salsa

That was a couple of games ago. I was not drinking enough last night to be part of the Orangonquin Round Table.

I think I was listening to the wrong music as well.
