This is pathetic. Outside a couple AB's here and there, this team is swinging so shitty it's not even funny. Really sad to watch.

We have officially let McCullers settle in. He will likely go 6 or 7 innings now.

If you try to work them away, they'll just flick the bat out there and hit an 'oops' HR out of it. That or they'll slap it into that cavern in RC. They'll have a lot more baserunners that way. If you work them inside, they're going to have a much harder time getting their hands out there, clearing out their lower half and driving it. They'll swing through more pitches and strike out more that way. You just have to accept that the Astros are going to hit HRs, but if you continue to keep them inside conscious, you're going to get most of them as solo shots. It's not a bad approach at all, really. If you're Chris Young, I don't recommend it. But with Ventura's gas working like it is and with the armside run he's getting on his heat right now, staying inside against a team that has a lot of struggles with fastballs over 95 is definitely defensible. 2 runs isn't going to beat the Astros in Houston. Ventura's given up those HRs, but he's also made a few batters look really silly. He's drawn a tough assignment and if he cedes the inner half, it will be that much worse.

Back from lunch. Hosmer is a joke at the plate. His cold streaks are the reason he'll never get a huge contract. Gordon has been horrible at the plate for a while now.
And yes, this team is playing with little-to-no energy for the most part. This team looks nothing like last year's team. Keep convincing yourself that they're the same, but this team has looked dead for well over a month now.

Here's a thought..if the pitch starts at or below your knees..DON'T SWING!

There we go. Solid AB and good hit by Moose. Just wish we had fewer than two outs...
