Houston v. St Louis

Astros are now swinging like its get away day

I thought for sure Altuve would have enough sense to take a pitch or two. I was wrong.

Javier is brutal to watch right now

Time to call it a night fellas. Go Stros.

Cardinals with the bases loaded, one outā€¦

He has absolutely no idea where his pitches are going. Especially his fastball. Not only that, but when he gets a pop fly to LF and a popped up bunt, neither play is caught in the air.

This is hard to watch.

Itā€™s worse in person

How can they be this bad?

Javier has no consistent command of anything right now. Baker needs to come get him.

He just grooved a two-strike breaking ball to Goldschmidt.

Seems like Dusty always waits for us to be waaaaay down before he gets the pitcher.

something somethingā€¦trampled under footā€¦something something

The problem is someone has to pitch. The pen is gassed. Starters are going to have to take a beating if they invite one.

Surprisingly Javier only gave up one again. 6-3 Cardinals after four.

I get it. Itā€™s just frustrating that his mechanics have gotten so out of whack these last two starts.

Heā€™s not just missing. Heā€™s not even competitive with many pitches.

I keep expecting us to do something cool, like last yearā€™s team.

Hey, hey, what can you do?

And this isnā€™t last years team. Far from it.

I can buy tickets

I can wear the gear

I can pray

I will get back to you if any of those start working

As we approach the mathematical midway point, this team could very well be toast by this time Sunday night, if this same team shows up against the Rangers.

No Quarter.
