On the plus side, law of averages would tell us that we're due for a big offensive game....

It's crazy how it feels we're so bad offensively when we have an excellent Team OPS+ of 118. It just shows how bad we are at driving in runs. We have a .332 team OBP even with the 1B duo dragging us down, but we can't score them once they reach base. That, added to the fact that we have 9 blown leads already, is why we are where we're at. If we even just win half of those blown leads we'd be in a virtual tie with the Rangers for 1st place. |

And where is the power? Chas and Bregman are combined for 0 HR.
We have 0 HRs from our primary LFer, 3B, and 1B. Three key offensive positions and we have 0 HRs... It's laughable at this point.

The only team in baseball that has allowed more runs than the Astros are the Rockies, who are always awful and play in Coors half the time. The White Sox are 3-18 and we have allowed more runs than they have. Let that sink in.

So for the record, Abreu currently provides less than a 7% chance that he'll get a base hit....

Just keep throwing Abreu out there, geez. At this point, if your too proud to DFA him, just make him ride the pine.
Lineup: Altuve 2B, Alvarez DH, Tucker RF, Bregman 3B, Diaz C, Pena SS, McCormick LF, Abreu 1B, Meyers CF

You look at our lineup and it has to feel like to other teams that we're a cake walk. Once you get past Tucker there really isn't much to worry about. Other than some Pena singles and a random hit or two by Diaz, there's nothing to worry about. It's almost like free outs.
If you keep Altuve off base and mostly pitch around Yordan and Tucker, you're good to go.

As inconsistent as the offense has been, if the bullpen had the lead in even just half the games we've had leads in and lost....we'd be in 1st or 2nd place. |

They’ll either do what they’re paid to do or they will lose. |
