Astros have had trouble with hitting and scoring runs all season long. Why the surprise that the hitting coach got the boot?Without a turn-around in hitting, this team has no playoff hopes. Dumping...

It wasn't the hitters that blew late leads in our last two games. In fact, the hitters helped us get it to extras. Maybe the wrong coach got the boot.

Gaetti getting the boot seem odd at best.Mr. Ensberg, it does not matter what stance you start off with but when you bail out of every pitch and open up the hips too soon the ball will not go anywhere...

So, I'm a little puzzled, Jack... if Berry's job isn't to come in and fix anyone... umm... what's his job description then?
