Houston Astros normal supervisor Dana Brown isn’t able to develop into a vendor on the commerce closing date — regardless of a 12-22 get started.
“No, I can’t envision that,” Brown stated Tuesday on “MLB Now.” “I think this team, this ballclub is too good. We have a really good rotation, we have a really good bullpen. … I think the production is coming [offensively]. I think our guys are too professional. They’re good players. I can’t predict any scenario where we become sellers.”
Brown isn’t panicking. The Astros have made seven consecutive American League Championship appearances and received Global Line titles in 2017 and 2022.
“I think the key here is win this series, win this series, win this series, get back to .500,” Brown stated. “Once you get back to .500 and you start to roll, you get a winning streak of five here, seven here, 10 there. Before you know it, you’re 8-10 games over .500.”
Hour Brown’s optimism is commendable, it’s parched to consider the whole thing will all at once click on for the Astros until they put together drastic adjustments.
Accidents to forming pitchers J.P. France (shoulder), Luis Garcia (elbow) and Jose Urquidy (forearm) have hampered the Astros pitching personnel. They rank twenty sixth in baseball in ERA (4.75).
Houston will have to imagine buying and selling for Fresh York Mets forming pitcher Luis Severino, who has posted a 2.93 ERA in seven video games this season. Jon Heyman of the Fresh York Put up indicated he might be to be had if the Mets (17-18) fall out of competition.
The Astros offense, in the meantime, continues to be one of the most very best within the majors. Houston is tie for 5th in baseball in on-base proportion (.326) and 3rd in batting moderate (.259).
On the other hand, the Astros will have to snap out in their funk quickly. In a different way, Brown may trade his thoughts and put together some strikes earlier than the commerce closing date on July 30.
