Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Astros’ struggles are nothing new, and Correa’s blunt assessment was a reflection of the team’s frustration.
The injuries have been piling up, but Correa is right – the team’s play has been subpar.
The Astros’ season has been marked by slow starts and late pushes, but they can’t seem to get out of this rut.
This is the kind of stretch that makes fans wonder if the team will ever find its footing.
Original Observation: This season is already feeling like a “learning moment” for the Astros, and it’s only April.
