If KFL is going to play, then Biggio should be at 3rd tonight. Schneider can play 2nd.

Francis has some stuff. Really too bad. I wouldn’t demote him so fast. I’d like to see more.

Houston’s really good. They’re gonna do this to most guys of his quality.

Based on the pattern so far this is gonna be an offensive stinker. Which means tomorrow they’ll score like 5+ runs

I don’t have a high opinion of Francis given his minor league track record but I’m certainly not gonna judge him because he’s getting hit around by these guys.

We were offensively deficient last year. Brandon Belt? Really?

We now have IKF filling in for Chapman. KK is another year older. So is Springer.

Who are we counting on? Varsho? Kiermaier? IKF? Kirk?

This was all very predictable. No batters.

Manoah can’t even getting minor leaguers out. Question will be how soon do they go to Tiedemann

This was a scheduled loss from the jump. Our 5th starter facing a Houston team that just got embarrassed by the Yankees. Yup. Just move on to the next game.

I disagree. I had hopes.

Our kid has stuff. There’s always a bit of luck.

But you can’t ever fight your own pathetic lineup. Our front office is continuing to put their eggs in the basket of “George Springer“ who is obviously on the down end of his contract. And that contract was predictable. And now he’s the pillar that we lean on?

We literally have nobody after the 3rd spot. The vast majority of our offensive lineup is a waste land.

Can’t fight your starter allowing 3 HR in 8 batters either

I don’t think he’s worse than Josh Towers

Crazy how we went from one of the best young offensive lineups to one of the worst in a span of 3 years… we used to be what the Baltimore orioles were… and then all of a sudden they got obsessed with defense.
