Up until the past week, I assumed that the 2024 Astros are a good team that has not gotten good results for various reasons. I do not know if I can continue to believe that.
The offense was terrible tonight. Yes, Jonathan Cannon is a promising young pitcher, but the team made terrible contact all night and was lucky to end up with seven hits. The only extra-base hit was a one-out double in the 3rd by the rookie Trey Cabbage. The team did not have many opportunities to score, but they squandered all of them, going 0-5 with RISP.
