For the first time in a long while, the Astros are arguably a bad baseball team. Or, at the very least, playing like one. Perhaps the more accurate way to view the situation is a mediocre baseball team that occasionally cosplays as a bad one. Yes, there are instances in which this club appears competent and on the verge of competing. But those moments have proved fleeting this season, for a variety of causes. For the better part of two months, this team has primarily fluctuated between bad and competent. Add those two together and you end up with mediocre.
Well, That Was Depressing; Twins Best Astros 6-1
