Baby steps. We scored 7 last week. No, this isn't OSU's D, but our QB's issues against them weren't all of their making. Just run the O efficiently and build from there.
Other than 2025 Astros baseball, I give up.
It's bad enough to so seldom put the ball in play. That problem is only compounded by the fact we aren't hitting for power. Big innings thus have become total flukes, even against the bad teams. Unwatchable ball.
NY announcers are thinking it was critical to hold Pena to a single on that hit off the wall, because it kept him from being on second and scoring on Yordan's single. They think that would have tied the game. Everyone but them knows the bat was going to be taken out of 44's hands with first base open.
The problem with Alvarez at 2 and Altuve 3 is that if Yordan doesn't leave the yard, it's then in the hands of a guy who's aging before our eyes. So I partly blame the lineup.
Several guys contributing when it really matters is a refreshing change. Of course, several of the biggest contributions have been by the visiting team.
Neal Brown was said to have been hired in part because of his knowledge of the QB run game. Wonder if he's actually had any influence, because it didn't much seem that way against OSU.
Ask Akina what the five toughest red zone passes are to defend, then run those with whichever QB we trot out there.
And Milwee to waterboy, unless that's what he already is.
If anything, you let them off easy. Let's can Espada before lunch and see if that helps. No way could it hurt. I mean, it has to happen sooner or later, so why wait?
