Maldonado…works it full…walks

Garcia bunts into 3-6 FC…Story bobbles on the transfer so no double play
T3:
Straw strikes out swinging.
No score
So in the last 14 innings, the Astros have pounded out one hit…the fly ball a fielder lost in the sun.
My modest goals for Straw (240/340/400) seem too much to ask for.
I’ll be gobsmacked if Straw hits .200 for the season.
B3:
Fuentes grounds out 3-1
Straw will end up at .280. I promise.
Hard to win games when you have scored 21 runs in your last eight games plus three innings tonight.
The Astros’ offense needs to wake up from its slumber ASAP.
B3:
Nunez grounds out 4-3
B3:
Gray strikes out swinging.
No score
I sure hope you end up being right. It’s still early, but it hasn’t looked good. And his defense, while not terrible, sure hasn’t been good enough to make me want to overlook the lack of offense.
Just remember, I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Me either!!
T4:
Brantley singles to LF
WooHoo!
So there’s our hit for the week.
A hit!!
OBP?
