Solomon: It’s not time for the Astros to panic. Yet
Astros third baseman Alex Bregman hits a two-run home run during the first inning, but it would be the only runs scored in Saturday’s loss to the Blue Jays.There is nothing like a good old-fashioned sports panic. It’s rare in baseball. Because, you know, the most overused phrase in Major League Baseball is “The season is a marathon not a sprint.”
After Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Toronto at Minute Maid Park, the Astros are only 2.2 miles into this marathon.They have played just five home games. OK, they’re 1-4 in those, but there have 76 more chances. The seventh is the only inning in which the Astros’ team batting average is over .300. They are hitting below .180 in six innings.
“We took better quality at-bats today,” manager Dusty Baker said after the Astros’ second straight one-run loss at home. “Quality usually equals results, but if you keep having quality , if you didn’t have results today, keep having quality it’s going to end up in results.Of course, it will turn at some point, but the 3.38 runs-per-game they post are two runs below their MLB-leading average a year ago.Ah, just kidding.
