Astros Dugout – Lisa Gray posts a copy of the interview of her from USA Today.
“USA: What does the team need to do in order to attempt to make it to the postseason?
LG: It needs to acquire 2 ace pitchers for essentially nothing, then run into a streak of good luck in which the opposing team doesn’t turn balls in play into outs as well as have the starting pitchers give up 2 or fewer runs in 8 innings. These things won’t happen.”

“You seemed to be really struggling in the month of May and June but have since turned things around. What sort of adjustments did you make, if any?
Those were a couple of tough months for me. I had some bad habits at the plate that I needed to break. I was chasing pitches and getting myself out. I worked a lot with our hitting coach to stay on top of the baseball and just think line drive. I also made a couple of adjustments with my hands and my stride and they seem to be working out for me.”
