As Luhnow tweaks the Astros roster in the offseason, I hope he takes a close look at the position players’ numbers with runners in scoring position and especially with a runner at 3B. Some guys just have what it takes to get the runners home in those situations and others just don’t.
Abraham Toro apparently has what it takes. At AA he batted .319 (37-116) with runners in scoring position and .421 (8-19) with a runner at 3B. At AAA he batted .333 (7-21) with runners in scoring position and 1.000 (3-3) with a runner at 3B. Stubbs batted .111 (6-54) with runners in scoring position and .000 (0-1 with 4 walks) with a runner at 3B at AAA. Tucker batted .291 (41-141) with runners in scoring position and .231 (3-13) with a runner at 3B at AAA.

Plenty of opportunities for improvement. Should be an interesting offseason.

They’ve got to improve on offense at catcher or RF. This postseason the bottom of the lineup provided a multitude of easy innings for opposing pitchers.

Just poor in the postseason. RF needs to be better though. They’ve got to address one of them. It’s not like we need all-stars at every position. We just need players who aren’t black holes. |

A veteran presence in the club house that can produce offensively. Preferably a guy that hasn't won a ring yet but has playoff experience and success. A guy that the players can go to keep the players settled down when they slump.
We can add all the potential young guys we want but there was something to be said for both McCann and Beltran on this team in 2017 and hitting in scoring position. The entire team should not be this rattled and clueless.

I wasn’t surprised at Bergman’s weak numbers. His failure to come through with RISP throughout this season was a disappointment. Yuli is clutch.

Even Greinke looks more confident out there. Get your shit together, George. |

I think Gggggeorge needs glasses. Watch him blinking and widening his eyes constantly while at the plate.

Altuve - .255 (24-94) - .286 (4-14) LMAO LMMFAO! If you compare what is expected from Altuve and Marisnick, both deserve an LMAO. Altuve is expected to outproduce Marisnick. Jose hits .255 comapred to Jake's . 231 which is a difference of 24 points. Jose is expected to be better than Jake by more.......he hasn't been. So, if you want to single Jake out for his numbers and give him a LMAO, Jose deserves the same LMAO. |

LMFAO Ironic that you always point out that Jake doesn't do the job but you casually ignore it when the "stars" like Altuve and Bregman under-perform.l. While Jose has been basically our only consistent bat in the post-season, Bregman and Karla Korrea have botjh played like scared rabbits. If we lose this series, those two will be remembered as the two biggest failures in Astros playoff history. |

Seasons can fluctuate, and I don't know why we put such importance over hitting with a runner on 2nd compared to 1st. With Men on Base period for their careers:
Altuve: .322
Bregman: .306
Marisnick: .231

With Men on Base period for their careers: Altuve: .322 Bregman: .306 Marisnick: .231 So you're saying with a runner on base, Altuve only has .91 BA career average better than Marisnick ... all Jake would have to do is have 100 straight hits with a runner on base and they are the same....so basically equal right now with a * next to it.. I can hear it now: Jake doesn't strikeout with a runner on, actually gets a hit....one hit down, 99 more to go... Jake doesn't strikeout with a runner on , actually gets another hit.....another down, 98 more to go. Therefore, Todd your stats suck, the song songs for itself. |

When you think about the percentages overall with so many stats, it doesn't seem like a big deal in 20-30 points. It sure adds up though. A guy hitting .300 is only 3% better than a guy hitting .270. But one is likely an all-star and the other is an after thought. |

Look you have to combat irrational with stupidity, the only logical counterattack...you obviously don't have what it takes... you are way too into proving you are right with factual/numerical evidence...just step aside/hold my beer, Son |

Bregman has been a total flop and looked like a fool strutting after his home run in game 2. |

He hits when it counts. While he was facing Chapman, Jake was on deck wetting his Pull-Ups. |
