OAKLAND, Calif. — The road map is getting repetitive for the Astros, who dropped their fifth of six games on this trip, 2-1 to the A’s on Saturday, and it’s guiding them straight to Baseball’s Twilight zone.
This sport is a real pain to process when it comes to short stretches, so strap in.
What you’re seeing may just be statistical noise, variation in the 162-game schedule.
The Astros are hitting .213 from Monday on, since leaving home. But, maybe the lineup, which appears to exist on a seesaw, doesn’t actually fluctuate as wildly as it seems.
