    Two Diamond Club tickets available for the Sunday night game.  Free.  Need to pick them up from me in 77027. Rules: Poster must be a big contributor to this thread/last years shag thread.  No gue

Please let what i thinks gonna happen....happen

Marwin will get nothing but sliders, at least if I was calling the game

Called that...now you do soft in the dirt and marwin swings on one knee

Called it again...I hate being right

McCann can't catch up to the fastball, so throw that

Off speed coming on this 3-1 count

Now we all know what's coming

God dammit, I hate losing to Arlington.

We'd better score a dozen tomorrow.

This team is an abortion at home offensively

Minute Maid Magic is dead

What a waste a 3 1/2 hours of life

Losing sucks

Why do we play our worst against the Rangers.

We play down to our competition? But we suck, so who knows

I'm giving up on this team since this team's given up on me?

What’s that? Shut out in three of our last four home games? Nobody does that...especially a defending WS champ. Man up out there. 

JV could've stayed in Detroit for better offensive support than this

It’s not going to solve all of our problems, but its time to dump Gattis and call up White.

disappointing indeed.  Don't jump, Mez2 

That was a shamewood reference from way back when.But seriously, this team sucks at home.

 

Superstar, I'm calling you out, for someone who wants to be an MVP and leader this is a prime spot for you a take action. Beltran ain't here to address the team. Your performance is teh suck at home, like not even the same neighborhood. Quit humping your former Ms Texas.

  And, Altuve, you ain't far behind. Ugh, I either need to quit caring about games in early May or stop drinking so much and I know what I'm going to not do.

I just realized that, in honor of the Round Rock team doing Star Wars tonight, the Astros decided to help by playing the role of the Stormtroopers.

By not hitting a goddamned thing.

I'd expect their hand eye coordination to be better then. 

Here are the MLB rankings of Astros hitters in wRC+, with 2017 rank in ():

Springer - 41st (18th)

Correa - 47th (6th if he had enough PAs)

Altuve - 57th (4th)

Bregman - 75th (43rd)

Reddick - 89th (36th)

Marwin - 128th (12th)

Essentially, every hitter in the lineup except McCann is hitting considerably worse than last year.

So my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me after all. 

Regardless of whether or not 2017 was a major anomaly for most of our hitters, we have to be better than what we’ve shown so far in 2018. If we’d had this starting pitching a year ago, we might have won 130 games...but at the rate we’re now going, 100 looks like a lofty goal.

Well, on the bright side, water generally finds its level. For example...Jed Lowrie, Nick Markakis, Asdrubal Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, Kevin Pillar, and Jorge Soler probably aren't suddenly better hitters than any player on the Astros roster. They will come back to earth and Altuve/Correa/Springer are likely to be better. 

But no, it's not your eyes; Wilson Ramos has been a better hitter than Jose Altuve so far. (So has Colin Moran.)

Great example of run average being over exaggerated. 

16,4,4,0 is our runs scored over 4 games and that gives a average of 6 runs a game. Yet it’s the one game explosion that helps the average stay high. If our pitching ever starts to slump we are fucked.

AVG runs/game is 4.75. Median runs/game in 4.0. 

Astros have been shut out in 10% of their games so far. 

Astros have scored 0 or 1 run in 30% of their games. 

I know this is all supposed to even out over the whole year, and sequencing has just been out of whack, but...it's hard to watch them and not think that something's not right. 

I meant over the last 4 games. Just showing a example of how run average can get overblown by having one massive run output. 

Last night we faced a good pitcher but one hit? Unbelievable. 

BBB Bring Back Beltran

I really think he made a huge difference with the psychology and approach to hitting for the team last year. 

McCann made a comparable difference with the pitching staff. 

One of those is still here. The other is not. BBB.

Biggest game of the season tonight, let's go boys.
