Back to Earth

3-0 start, swept in Houston. Back to earth, and the realistic idea that this team is at best a .500 team. That will be an accomplishment.

That's 11 straight losses to Houston, and some kind of ridiculously bad winning % at Minute Maid field, where we will be six more times this season. We certainly didn't play badly, but we clearly were beaten consistently by the Astros.

Off today, and then to St. Louis for another tough set. A split is needed to keep the early season from being defined by an early long losing streak.

Finally, watch for this coming attraction. So far the Red have 56 K's, by far the highest in the NL, and more than 9 per game. The SABRmetric dudes will tell you the K is just another out. You'll see what that's wrong and what it costs.
