The Houston Astros have struggled recently with scoring runs on a consistent basis with their feast or famine style offense. Much of their struggles could be blamed on certain players such as Chris Carter, Evan Gattis, and Luis Valbuena recently who are in the midst of long-term slumps. What is missing from this team that has led to the offensive struggles? Could it be the spark plug leadoff hitter in George Springer who has created so much woe for the Astros?
Could the loss of one player cause such a change in the team?
