baddog Posted 12 hours ago Author Report Posted 12 hours ago 1 hour ago, AggiesAreWe said: Pitching, pitching, pitching. Although their ERA has dropped from 6.35 to 5.78, Houston is still dead last in the MLB. Next highest ERA is Arizona at 5.07. All other teams have sub 5 ERA's. Astros still lead the majors in walks issued (192). 2nd most is the Reds with 166. Houston's WHIP is a 1.63 which is the worst in baseball. Reds have a 1.50. Also, Astros have given up the most homeruns in MLB with 50 and most runs with 209. Nationals have given up the 2nd most runs with 197. Only good stat Houston pitching has is strikeouts. They have the third most in MLB with 326., only behind the Mets and the Phillies with 333 and 330. Houston still leads the American League in hitting. Have a league best in batting average (.267), top 3 MLB in OBP (.346), SLG (.436) and OPS (.782). All those lead AL. Astros lead MLB in doubles (73), lead AL in HR's (44), lead AL in total bases (540). Also 2nd in AL in runs scored (181). Again, let the current record (14-22, 5 back of AL West) reflect that pitching or lack thereof is solely the cause of being 8 games under .500. Yes, it seems we start most games in the hole, giving up 2-3 runs in the 1st inning. Even with the bad pitching, there were several games in reach with RISP and we just didn’t deliver. rupert3 1 Quote

baddog Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago Astros beat the Dodgers 2-1. Both runs were solo HRs. Should have been a shutout, but I’ll take it. Quote
rupert3 Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago Lambert pitched well 104 pitches low hit total King pretty good for save and got scary. Needed that Correa ankle on DL now. What else? Quote
