You know, with runners on the corners and nobody out most teams would score a run here.

i mean, yea, it looks bad in the moment. but it's only been like 2.5 weeks of noticeably worse play. they'll be more than fine. it's just rough to watch in the moment. the cubs went through this last year, and despite the bad cubs posters here who thought the sky was falling, it didn't. a good team is a good team is a good team and those first three months speak volumes more than the last 2.5 weeks. this week is the bottom. it'll be fine.

don't get all bad cubs poster-like, astros fans! your team is insanely good!

The entire pitching staff is gassed or hurt and we're still plagued with injuries. It's not a surprising fall from grace but it's aggravating as all get out. There's also no end in sight for the pitching issues which is worrying and probably a huge vulnerability that teams will exploit come October. The front office bet the farm on Keuchel and co coming back strong and ooooh boy has that backfired.
