Amongst all of the Astros position players this season, Alex Bregman has been one of the more scrutinized. Thanks in part to his high draft pick status back in 2015 and the age we live in, Bregman’s actions on-and-off the field are put under a microscope. Right or wrong.
As of August 13th, the Astros find themselves in the midst of an August swoon. A 2-and-9 record to be exact. Since Tuesday’s bout with the Chicago White Sox, Houston has lost five games in a row. While their AL West lead is still at a comfortable 12 games, the lead for AL supremacy has dropped to five games.
