Thank goodness for Ronel Blanco.
Don't jinx my guy. I picked him up for fantasy.
That is likely a bigger jinx than praising him on a message board

Astros have had every chance to get back in this game.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

It's so hard to get an accurate read on Dana because I just don't know how much freedom and leeway he actually has. I've been told Crane has had a really hard time trusting his people since the scandal and has become quite the micromanager ever since. Example: The Click situation which was mentioned above.

When it first happened, I was okay with it because I heard they didn't work well together and it seemed good to have someone who was on the same page as Crane. I'm starting to wonder if "not getting along" was more to do with Click not wanting to be micromanaged than anything else. Pure speculation on my part based off some of the things that have been mentioned to me.

That said, it's possible Dana just ain't it. It's just a weird situation all around.
Seems the most logical description of circumstances. It's not uncommon owners start out letting people who know the industry run things for awhile and then become increasingly over involved.

If Tuck just misses one, I feel sorry for his bat...

Haven't looked, but the Astros have to be leading the league in LOB by a wide margin, right? Good grief.

99.4 exit
348 feet

No matter the Brown collapse, this offense is the ultimate anti-clutch. Should have 7-8 runs minimum by now.

I mentioned this in passing earlier, but it's a pretty astounding stat to me. Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown faced 14 batters but threw only 40 pitches (2.9 per hitter). That is a textbook example of throwing cookies.

I'd be curious of the exit velocities. Didn't seem like too many barrels.

What was equally impressive is that, out of those 2.9 pitches per batter, quite a few of them were not even close to the zone. So, if HB was putting them near the plate, they were smashing it.

Is there a worse 1B situation in the league? I'd be happy to watch Loperfido work out his K problems against live pitching.

It's astounding just how bad the Astros are with runners on base. This streak is one for the hall of shame.
