This team is an utter disaster right now.

Re: 5/4/11 - Astros at Reds
They're in one of those funks where when they get pitching, they don't hit and when they hit, they don't pitch...

Re: 5/4/11 - Astros at Reds
Votto and Phillips had great Aprils. They're cooling off, Rolen is out, Gomes is tanking. The counted-on improvements from Bruce and Stubbs have not shown up.
A spark is needed, and I don't see it on the roster.

Re: 5/4/11 - Astros at Reds
Votto's on-base streak is in jeopardy.

Re: 5/4/11 - Astros at Reds
Right now, any pitcher with an ERA over 6 is looking forward to facing the Reds in order to get that number down.

Re: 5/4/11 - Astros at Reds
I'm not sure I call it bad baseball. It's not like they are throwing the ball around the diamond. They are just getting poor starting pitching and not getting timely hitting...
