This Looks Like A Triple-A Team At The Moment, Astros Drop Third Straight To A’s 5-1

Sooner or later, with 18(!) players on the IL, the effect of those injuries was going to catch up to the Astros. You can only outrun the sheer amount and magnitude of those injuries for so long. Unfortunately, the issues related to those injuries and their impact on the active roster are manifesting themselves once again. The Astros are now 5-10 in their last 15 games, with a startling 1-8 record in their last nine home games, including Saturday’s defeat against the A’s.

There hasn’t been a lot to like about the first three games of this four-game set against the A’s.
