Welcome to the Thursday Boil.
Houston is now 6-14. I think it may be time for them to get serious about baseball.
The Houston Astros are hardly devoid of talent. Already eight games below .500, the time is nigh for them to start stopping getting swept. Maybe they can go to a two-man rotation with CJ and Ronel? Or maybe….I don’t know….maybe finding a first baseman anywhere above replacement level? I may not be a smart man, but I would certainly do something…anything…about my lack of production from the not-hot corner.
