ESPN Houston's John Granato & Lance Zierlein opened the show discussing just how bad some elements of the Astros have been. For instance, for the seventh game in a row, the Astros have only scored in one inning.
Against the Mariners in this series, the Astros are hitting .180, with two extra-base hits, 33 strikeouts, and four walks.
What's even more troubling, is Houston produced three quality starts in this series, and have no wins to show for it.
Also, as good as Kyle Tucker has been, a lot of his production has come from beating up on below average teams like the A's. In this series against quality Mariners pitching, he's 0-10 with two walks and four strikeouts.
Which begs the question; is it time to bury them? In May? LZ thinks so, but John sees a lot of wins coming for Houston against the Twins, Cardinals, Angels, Giants, Tigers, and White Sox.
Who's right?
