What are the 10 numbers?

How these 10 numbers help define why the Astros are 6-14 - https://t.co/fUonQh9xNQ
and it proves the old adage about being unable to hide a bad hitter in the lineup
Abreu has had 7 RISP at-bats in the 8-hole...and of course 0 for 7
credit to the opposing managers and pitchers -- they are looking for Abreu

It's almost as if all free agent decisions are made based on nothing other than the player's name and how hyped up he is. Seems like a terrible way to do things to me, but hey, I'm not an aging billionaire, so what do I know.Wabs said:Bingo. Gotta have somebody that can step in if Abreu is doing exactly what he's doing right now. That somebody should have never been Singleton. That was a very dumb backup plan when there were plenty of veterans to sign for cheap. We should have signed someone that could play OF/1B/DH. Dana did NOT impress this past offseason (not sure if Crane was the problem or what but our offseason ****ing sucked).texasaggie2015 said:
It's really unbelievable that we didn't upgrade from Singleton at the very least. Garrett Cooper could have been signed for super cheap.

Some lessons only get learned the hard way. Hopefully he learns it soon before we slip into the 2006-2011 run of increasing irrelevance.

Thanks for the heads up. Never would've thought about that. I was sitting in a TexMex bar in Madisonville chatting up the Chicas. So Tits Out For Aggies? Or would they just lose their collective ****ing minds? Let's go Astros!

Also expound upon the financial flexibility Dana had to go out and sign one.

Joe Espada said Justin Verlander is probably on track for 80-85 pitches tonight, with the hope that gets him through five or six innings.

Framber Valdez played catch today. Joe Espada said the hope is Valdez could throw from a mound tomorrow or Sunday.

Joe Espada, asked if the Astros have talked about the Nationals celebrating the five-year anniversary of their 2019 World Series title this weekend: "No, we have way more important things that we need to focus on right now."

No need to give Washington billboard material and I guarantee you those who were on that team have it in their minds.
I don't see an issue with this at all.

WTAF were these guys thinking? TLDR, coach takes a video of himself sitting in the pilots seat on a united airlines jet while it was in flight with the team on board, and then posted it on social media.
