PhatMack19 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Off to an 0-4 start, it's going to be a long season for us Astro fans. Will they ever win a game?
mat Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Hopefully, I'm going to say today. Got a flame thrower up against a 47 year old.Of course that means nothing with no runs. 3 out of 4 games with zero runs is not going to cut it.
PhatMack19 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Posted April 12, 2010 I'm starting to agree with you Coop, they may never win a game.The Astros have scored 13 runs in their first 6 games of the year, which is exactly how many the Arizona Diamondbacks scored today in the 4th inning of their game.Their team batting average is .222, and their strikeout to walk ratio is 43:5. It's tough to score runs with no one on base.The Astros payroll is the 8th highest in the league, and it is hard to believe they can't put a competitive team on the field with those contracts.I usually go to 7 or 8 games a year, but I don't know if will be paying to go watch them play this year. Heck, I had free tickets Saturday and still didn't go.
2throwrundown Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 Its hard to put a finger on what is keeping them from competing. A pretty decent pitching staff, a relatively decent lineup, but they cant seem to score? Its looking like Cecil wasn't the problem after all, though i didn't care much for him as the manager. They need to seriously start thinking about trading their "big guns" in berkman and roy, and really start to rebuild the underlevels, get some talent back in the farm system.
ForeverADog Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 They have a really bad lineup especially when you take Berkman out of it IMO. Plus the back end of their rotation is pretty sub par. They need to dump some payroll and get younger. Lee, Berkman, and Blum if you find someone to take him. I think you wait another year to get rid of Roy O.
EAGLE07 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 My under bet @ 77 games is looking good already. ;D
