Detroit’s esteemed baseball writers at Bless You Boys posed these questions about the Astros to our writers here at The Crawfish Boxes. Here are the questions and answers.
Question:
I think a lot of people assumed the Astros were going to run away with the AL West again, but right now they find themselves in a surprisingly tight division. What do you think is holding them back from being in first?
Answer:
I’m not surprised that the AL West is tighter than some may have expected. First, the Astros lost superstar talent (Cole, Springer, and Correa) in each of the last three years.
