Well, at least Garcia is getting the wide zone, too.
They still wonât be met
Strong inning from Garcia.
The really concerning part of this road trip is that the lineup-wide slumps seem to get worse as the season goes on.
The Royals pitching is fucking putrid, and the Astros are struggling to score more than 2 runs a game.
Thatâs why itâs important that you get Wilson as many ABs as possible.
They hit 9 singles last night.
Brantley smoked a ball into a dp.
Yordan gave 2 a ride to left.
Tying run was gunned down at the plate (maybe).
Intellectually I know they were close.
But also Intellectually that means jack squat.
And emotionally they feel miles away from where they need to be.
Not a bad idea, just bunted way too hard.
Monday they had 12 hits and scored 6 runs. That has to win. Every. Single Time. Itâs not simply been offense.
The seeming complete lack of emotion/interest is really the part that worries me the most.
I get that not every at bat by every player is going to be a great one, but just going up and taking fat pitches then swinging wildly at balls in the other batters box for days at a time is a real problem.
Altuve bunt attempt unsuccessful 3U, Yuli 6-3, Alvarez 1-3
Bagwellâs mantra: grind.
They should look into it.
With todayâs lineup, you only get four or five innings to try to score. Theyâve wasted two of those already.
Agreed. There is a lot of competition for the five American League playoff spots, and itâs infuriating that it seems like many of the Astros are simply going through the motions against a team they should beat.
FIFY
Get ahead, lose the zone.
Leadoff walk.
Ball was over his head.
Luis⌠WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!
Garcia bounces ANOTHER breaking ball.
Runner advances.
The players look listless and disinterested. Playing baseball for millions canât suck that bad.
Thatâs what Castro is asking him.
