OP said it best: winners find a way to win, losers find a way to lose. If pop ups with RISP against mediocre pitchers are the best they can manage, they might as well throw in the towel.

Based on the big, tearful deal they made about the players standing SRO at AJs press conference announcement of his extension. I don’t know that he’s lost the team. |

Take Two in the on-deck circle just pulsating in anticipation.

I think it’s more likely that the Big Boys are playing hurt. Altuve looks pitiful, Springer has no power, and Correa stinks. |

I'm also worried Hinch may have lost the clubhouse. If he gets ejected and this is what they've done in the innings since, that's cause for concern I think it’s more likely that the Big Boys are playing hurt. Altuve looks pitiful, Springer has no power, and Correa stinks. If that is really the case then Luhnow really let the rest of the team down by not getting a bat to help. But then again they were showing signs of being this bad way before they got hurt. Or they were hurt earlier than was exposed. |

We kept saying we would be in great shape when those three were all in the lineup at the same time........we scored more runs without them. They have produced very few runs since their return and have cost us more times than not. They look like they feel sorry for themselves. |

When all your hitters hit the same way it does not take long for the league to figure out how to pitch to you, then you hit a lot of ground balls as all you see are sinkers and sliders down in the zone and two seamers up in the zone so you can pop them up.

And our hitters avoid inside strikes like the plague. Instead, crap in the dirt is so desirable. |

And so many teams we face are disciplined against sliders.

Once again, the Angels start the runner and avoid a double play.

I really think Hinch needs to change up the Lineup for a few games to get everyone looking at it differently.

Astros hitters haven't worked a single walk all night.
