As it turned out, the game was lost in the 2nd inning. There was nothing Dusty could have done differently that would have altered the outcome. The Padres scored 11 runs, but they only needed 3 runs to win the game.
Stark realities about the Astros. They exploit average to above average pitching. Sometimes they can beat good pitching, but they typically struggle against really good to great pitching.
We saw that with Snell. Brown wasnât able to counter, neither was Urquidy.
The puzzle for the Astros to solve is twofold: how to field an effective SP staff suffering with tired arms and how to win at home. IMO, losing home games is a mental issue, which should be the easiest to overcome, but for some strange reason they have yet to solve.
Other than thatâŠwinning is a piece of cake.

Maniacal at the hot corner. Fearless. Saw him take a liner off his calf and didnât even flinch. Walked up the next inning and hit a 3-run homer.

Flapped it to remind himself to keep it up.
I mailed that card to Cincy asking for Joe to sign it, got a âpreviously signedâ photo instead. Still have it.

Astros losing. Coogs losing.
Totally not what I was expecting tonight.
Will if the Astros lose tonight we canât say Dustyâs lineup has nothing to do with itâŠ.
Fielderâs choices, strikeouts and pop ups are not going to get it doneâŠ.
Crazy little thing called statistics always have a way of working themselves out.
TWO 20+ HR guys with OPSâs over .800 have a better shot of producing than A utility play and one of the worst hitters in baseball.
Crazy right?
Astros up 6-4 in B5.
Abreu making up for disappointing season.

This is an important home stand in terms of sustaining confidence and pride. To be as talented as they are and play .500 or less at home is communicating a weakness to your competition. A SP issue is one thing. Donât compound it with the inability to win at MMP.
