That 2nd inning was going great and then it fell apart real quick. I think the 9th inning was the worst. Another bad outing by another overpaid pitcher.

Anther sweep, by the opposing team, ugh. Hope they enjoy their day off before the next road trip.

Houston is 4-3 vs. the Rangers and 2-11 vs. everyone else.

Blackout on mlb.tv so I'm watching the Washington hometown broadcast... gotta say, the commentators don't suck. Very respectful of the talented lineup, especially as the Stros dropped four straight hits, including three straight doubles on the board. Good inning.

I’m not sold on Espada. Batting order seems a bit screwy to me. Struggle to understand the reasoning behind moving Alvarez from an RBI spot in the lineup to a table setter in the two hole. Also don’t understand why Tucker who is the best base runner on the team is hitting behind average speed at best which hampers his ability to run. Before anyone says it, armchair coaching is part of the fun of being a diehard fan.

I concur. I think Esparza is in over his head.

I paused the game for a while, now watching the 9th inning meltdown.

Another pitching deficiency yesterday. Early game today, hoping for a win.

It's amazing... I think the Stros are leading MLB in hits... just goes to show you how critical pitching is.

6-0 top of the 7th. Think I’ve seen enough for today.

Joe Espada is hoping the division will play down to the Astros and not continue to run away. Ain’t happening Joe. It just ain’t happening. This team better start stringing some games together.

It’s a long season. I have no doubts they will be in the hunt come September.

At least you don’t see team members getting arrested and kicked off the team.
