Altuve, Bregman, and Correa can be dogged, but the lemons of the series are the starting pitchers. Let’s be real. As I said, we were screwed when we lost McCullers. Yeah, but no one could imagine these fools struggling to pitch 3 innings. |

Hey Correa how bad do you want that Zillion Dollar Contract. Got to do better than you have been this series He came into the game 4 for 8 in this series. He is not the problem. Amen. The only thing I concede to the Correa critics is the starting pitching desperately needs help. Framber seems like a fluke so that just leaves McCullers. |

Maldonado and his terrific defense struck out again.

We had pitchers back in the old NL days who were better hitters than Maldanaldo

Doesn’t help when 1-4 are not hitting or getting on base.

It's basically 2018 again; great team about to lose the ALCS to the Red Sox due to getting devastated with injuries.

Framber seems like a fluke so that just leaves McCullers. The problem with the offense is easy to see.........Maldonado is 1-21 and Dusty keeps his slow ass in the lineup. But, the most glaring thing is that Altuve, Brantley, and Bregman are a combined 5 for 33. That won't cut it. |

I would like to extend Verlander and pick up another solid starter. Graveman would be nice to have a full season. Promote Lee at catcher and let Maldonado water the grass at Minute Maid.

Maldonado would take all day to water the grass. It would be dead before he finished. I realize he does a good job with the pitchers, but, being an automatic out kills us, especially in the post season. I'd like to extend Verlander on a reasonable 1-2 year deal. Let Greinke go. |

If they don’t want Castro around, they should find a catcher worthy of a starting job. As it is, both catchers they have are backups.

Now, it's time to bash Correa because he wants a long term deal worth $30 million or more a year. LMAO Take a good,long look at what some others are doing. So what happened to the Correa who lied about the masseuse breaking his rib so he could stay home in the sack with Hoochie Momma? |

Altuve especially. He tried to come back too soon in 2019 and ended up missing most of May and a lot of June because of his knee. |

Like shooting fish in a barrel. How did this team make it to the post season with this pitching staff?

Now that we're down 8 with two innings to go Dusty thinks it's time to get Castro's bat in the lineup...

They remind me of the performance in the playoffs the first few years for Bagwell, Bigfoot and Everett at the plate. Mike Hampton would have been a better hitter than Maldanaldo as well. |

Speaking of injuries, I hope none of our pitchers got whiplash tonight. Lot's of neck jerking.

Multiple guys will just go cold simultaneously and with no explanation. |
