38% of Houston's postseason runs have been scored in two innings. After 56 innings of play, that's not a positive sign IMO.
Our offense has been shockingly quiet all postseason. When you look at the individual players in our lineup 1-7, they are all studs and it’s hard to make sense of it.

Some analysts predicted it making the point that the Astros' hitting weakness is the type of pitching velo they're likely to see in the playoffs day-in and day-out.

Houston’s hitters, however, have one slight weakness: above-average fastballs. The Astros, as a team, are hitting just .238 with a .442 slugging percentage against fastballs that reach 95 mph or higher this season, including during the playoffs. That batting average ranks in the bottom half of baseball (19th), notable for such a powerful offensive team, although the slugging percentage ranks ninth. Still, the Astros hit an absurd .277 with a .499 slugging percentage against every other pitch.
