So I got a little curious, again, not sexually, but about the Astros' batting average with RISP over this period of absolute ineptitude, with 11 losses in 12 games. Let's take a gander:
Sept 26 vs. Cincinnati (10-4 L): 2x8
Sept 25 vs. Cincinnati (10-4 L): 0x6
Sept 23 vs. St. Louis (3-0 W): 3x11
Sept 22 vs. St. Louis (11-2 L): 1x7
Sept 21 vs. St. Louis (7-3 L): 1x4
Sept 20 @ Milwaukee (6-0 L): 0x7
Sept 19 @ Milwaukee (7-2 L): 1x5
Sept 18 @ Milwaukee (3-2 L): 1x5
Sept 16 @ Cincinnati (6-5 L): 0x8
Sept 15 @ Cincinnati (5-4 L): 3x6
Sept 14 @ Cincinnati (3-1 L): 1x7
Sept 13 vs. Pittsburgh (2-1 L): 0x7
Want the math? That's 13x81 = .160. That's how you lose games.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
