Astros IF all around the diamond has the potential to be unreal for a long time.

Agreed…short term problems are an issue though.

Short-term problems can be solved if they got a guy who could teach this talent-loaded team to hit the ball. The offensive “production” is embarrassing.

Might be time to relieve hudgens of his duties and see if a fresh approach with another coach could jump-start the offense. My opinion is that the team’s approach to hitting should be altered. They swing for the fences too often, even in situations where advancing a runner or just making contact to drive in a run, would be better served.

Not Hudgens fault. Springer was on fire for a while. It’s the players fault. I do think we need to rethink shifting all the time.

IMO, a new hitting coach is needed. There seems to be a lack of discipline at the plate. ie swing at bad pitches and then taking a called third strike down the middle. Get two strikes and throw a low and away breaking ball and you get the K.
Out of twelve players (excluding pitchers) only four are hitting over .240 Sure, they’re are the ones swinging the bat and not the coaches but if the coach can’t help, why incur the expense. They are giving up too much offense, and if you don’t score, you don’t win.
Also, it’s time to dump the shift. The smart hitters are beating it.
