The first month of baseball is tricky because you never know whether a team’s performance is a blip or a harbinger of things to come and it is important to not overreact to small sample sizes. But what would sports blogging be without the overreactions?

The Astros opened up there season with a 5-4 loss to their arch rivals. The Astros started off the game strong with three 2-out RBI’s in the bottom of the first, and a solo home run by Meyers to start the 2nd. However, the offense would not score again, squandering multiple RISP opportunities.
