He has a mental block or something. There was no predicting such an utter collapse for such a long time now. Hopefully Hensley is starting today He should have been starting since before the ALCS ended, but he hasn’t. I don’t expect Dusty to change anything. Altuve will bat first. Mancini or Diaz will DH.

Honestly, our own hitters scare me more than theirs.

There’s no reason Hensley shouldn’t play. I can’t think of a tougher AB for a rookie minor leaguer than the one he had against Paul Sewald. He can’t do any worse.

I would be surprised if he didn’t do much, much better.

Can’t trust emotions. They’ll lie to you. I still think the Astros win this in 5 or 6. Don’t really care if it takes 7. Lots of baseball left. If they win the series game one becomes a speed bump.

Hopefully, they don’t give Altuve a different strike zone from the rest of the team again.

I don’t know if it’s the framing, but when Verlander throws on the edges, he just doesn’t get the call.

I agree, the sports commentator even laughed saying that one of the strikes called was a foot wide out of the zone. Altuve gets really screwed on his strike zone. Not saying that is the key reason why he's struggling, but it has to be near the top.

He's making contact now. Altuve just needs to square it up a fraction of an inch better and he'll be good to go.

Everyone focuses on Altuve, but why isn’t anyone noting how Yordan goes missing for weeks at a time? Sure, his homer was pivotal in the Mariners series, but where has he been since then? You’ve got a guy who has loads of power swinging at literally anything with two strikes. As much as we want to dismiss it, this is a real problem with him.

Where was the Offense to pick up the slack They gave him a 5-0 lead. That should be enough in ANY game for ANY pitcher against ANY team.
