I'm going to hang my hat on my initial hate the from the start of the season. Those DAMN Oxy patches have screwed us this season. What purpose do they serve? They don't match our colors, and Oxy has ZERO reasons to ***** themselves out for advertising.

Because it's killed the Astros. They set up and all a team does is hit where it's pitched. Easy outs find created holes.
It has? Or you just seem to notice those and not the ones where positioning helps?

Our BABIP on ground balls is middle of the pack.

For whatever reason, Houston pitchers don't favor/pitch to the shift. Case in point, last hit for Baltimore…if you're shifting for a lefty, don't throw off speed to outside edge. That's pitching right to the hole in your D.

Sure if you pitch to your shift then you cut off half the plate and make it easy on the hitter.

You're probably right, and I might just notice when they shorten swings, and then the pitch is in the wirst location for it. They've done it twice today.

It's pretty hard to hunt inside edge in a two strike count, fair?

I'm sitting third base line and you can see from here so clearly just how uncompetitive all those pitches Abreu just whiffed on were.

Needed that wild pitch with 1 strike so Abreu could bunt Alex over

Guy misses the strike zone completely with Bregman prompting Abreu to swing at every pitch when none were in the zone.

Third place in the division.

No place in the playoff standings

Paying him $20 MM next year and 2025 is going to hurt

Abreu batting in the top half of the lineup is just a killer.

Sure. I get exactly what you are saying. I get your point.

I just don't think it's a major problem for us overall. Maybe there is room to improve it in certain situations. Scouting reports for different counts to impact positioning. Need to nerds to extra nerd out there.

I feel that high scoring games don't work in our favor but low scoring ones do. Let's hope this rings true today
