  1. I don’t think Isaac’s injury is THE cause of our downturn, but he was the last domino in a line falling dominos. Probably half, or more, of the team wasn’t here to begin the season. They aren’t gelling right now and we’re going through our normal early season slow start, but in the latter part of the season. Hoping they start gelling and get hot at the right time to go on a run in the playoffs.

  3. Paredes is still #2 in all of MLB in one category…pitches per plate appearance. He’s second behind Mike Trout at 4.41 pitches per plate appearance.

    If you flip the script and look who takes the *least* number of pitches per plate appearance, you’ll find:

    #2 – Yanier Diaz – 3.22
    #5 – Jeremy Pena – 3.35
    #11 – Jose Altuve – 3.53

    We have a lot of aggressive hitters at the plate. Paredes is good because of how patient he is. Without him, the Astros are definitely more prone to aggressive, quick outs which allows pitchers to remain in the game longer and find a groove.
