S4 Ep28: Is Astros management burning the team down from the inside?

About this episode

The episode discusses the struggles of the Houston Astros and questions the impact of management decisions on the team's performance.

Houston came within a flukey inning from being swept by the Pirates. The pitching that started looking so good struggled mightily and the offense continued their struggles save for a 6-run breakout in the middle game. Can the Astros get well against some Division opponents or has management's decisions already buried this team's chances?
