The Blue Jays faced a tough defeat against the Astros, managing only two hits throughout the game. The initial inning proved disastrous for the Jays' defense, leading to early runs for the Astros. Key player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. notably struggled, going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts, contributing to the teamâs overall lack of offensive energy. Despite changes in coaching, hitting difficulties persist, with the top seven in the lineup going an abysmal 0 for 23, raising concerns about the team's hitting capabilities.
Once again, we came out of the game with just two hits: an Ernie Clement single and a Nathan Lukes home run. We also had two walks.
I don't understand the lack of ability to hit. Last year, we blamed the hitting coaches for the hitting troubles. New hitting coach, same hitting issues.
One through seven in the order went 0 for 23 with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. Normally, I can find some at bats with hard contact, but not today.
The Astros got all the runs they needed in the first inning... Wagner should have stayed out of it after it went off his glove.
