What's the difference? Rua is the better fit.
Well Odor is generally better at least against RHP. They have really shelved Rua though

The team rushed Rua back after his injury due to other team injuries, and he suffered for it. So did the team.

He's back down now, hopefully he'll get some quality AB and be back up to play RF in a few weeks. But first, let's get him straightened out and healthy.

The Astros have lost 6 in a row. We are exactly where we were 7 games ago with them in the standings. The first series in the 2nd half is huge. We either snap out of it, or go right back into this funk.

For some reason I have this feeling that Choo is going to have a good 2nd half.

Doesn't look like Choo cares.

How can a team with this many good hitters be this bad with RISP for this long?

Well, for one thing you're counting Choo as a good hitter and he's proven he's not.

Maybe he pulls his head out in the second half. But it doesn't look promising too me.

Choo is worthless. I've never seen a supposed legitimate ml hitter miss grooved pitches like he does.

Martin and Choo are little more than automatic outs at this point.
