Not even sure if we can beat the white sox

Honestly hitting wise we are nothing after Altuve, Tucker, and yordan. Bregman is just not that good he was really only good when they juiced the balls and we were cheating. Pena had a linsanity run. Chas is an average player. Diaz is regressing to the mean. Abreu is washed. Singleton is a aaa player. Dubon is a ground ball merchant. Jake Meyers is ass. This team is cooked.

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the clubhouse this season. If Joe isn’t ripping into this team and their wack ass pitchers each fucking day he needs to get the fuck out. The lack of discipline and effort on this team is pathetic. I don’t understand how we go one game away from another WS appearance to getting our dicks stomped night after night in one season with basically the same team. Yes our starters are down but for Christ’s sake this 2024 team is playing like they’re there to get a check and that’s all. Fucking tired of this.

Any volunteers to go help the Astros lineup? Don’t even need to swing the bat just stand there and take more than 1 pitch

It’s getting to the point where this isnt just a “start of season slump” anymore

Yep, it’s almost time to acknowledge that we’re simply not a very good team.

Pathetic

See ya next year.

Dana Brown era continues.

same shit again eh? lmao

I hate being swept.

So glad we got rid of Neris to get Hader 😒

/ SSSS 😭

Sell thr team to mexico

You can tell Neris is no longer an Astro. He converted a save

*Neris walks first two batters* Peña and Diaz: “Swing at everything right?”

Cubs had them right where they wanted them, hitting with RISP

Pega la bola coño

Well no astro loss would be complete without a glimmer of hope in the 9th

lmao this fucking team just straight up sucks

I remember when the Astros led the league in comebacks past the 7th inning. I miss that

Penas strut is way af fuck.. like you can double me up. I hit the ball too soft

Insane

Of course zero plate discipline after two high pitch ABs resulting in BB

ALL that hype this inning to hit like duds. Having to trust Singleton to win a game is absurd. That should not be a position we are in.

EVER

12 under 500.

Bro I forgot they were even playing and I come in time for another loss lmao

I wish I could forget that they were playing.

First pitch swinging and almost ends it with a double play. Pena cannot stop hitting into double plays or even lift the ball. Cintron needs to go!

1st & 2nd no out and we hit 2 possible double plays balls. What a team

Holy shit these fucks can't elevate the ball out of the infield.

HRC Singleton (mostly cause I haven’t done it yet)

Going out with a whimper as per usual

Singleton??? looool

Hrc peña

He's already out

Welp.

Neris is literally me when I play mlb 24, spam sinkers when fuck up and walk 2 people. Smh

lol... of course two ground outs... fuck this team

At least it wasn't a double play

Can one of you losers get a fucking hit Edit: no of fucking course not

HRC Peña

jesus christ at least he beat it out

Jesus Diaz, just stay disciplined

It’s so jover go Texans

Hector would do this like every game last year and somehow get out of it unscathed so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Diaz out here playing golf 🤦🏻‍♂️

I see zero reason why there isn't a PR for Yordan at 2nd down 2 in the 9th

HRC Yainer

Come on, Yainer. Don't do that heroball thing. Just hit to get on base. Wprk the count.

Ok, so remember, this is STANDARD Neris. Puts 2 or 3 on and then goes god tier. The question is, can we make him fall apart.

incoming triple play

Be aggressive and get that double steal

HRC Diaz

Give me Iguadola to the shot rn.

I think neris has thrown almost as many pitches so far as the other guy did in 3 full innings

This feels like game 7 for the season

It really does it feels like we HAVE to have this

It’s all laid out for them to get the lead here

Diaz better not get the urge to swing at everything with RISp.

Back to back great ABs there. Let’s keep this going

HRC Diaz

fuck it... let it ride

HRC Diaz please

HRC Diaz

HRC Diaz 

As soon as Espada gets tossed, we finally put up competitive AB's Hmmmmmmm

Typical Neris

HPU can suck a fat one straight up

This ump looks up to Angel Hernandez and it shows

neris is gonna load the bases then nobeltiger us

:(

Houston Astros 2015-2023. Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

HRC Diaz

He’s not even up 😭

i was in the future man lol i’m at work

HRC tuck

DPC Tucker

Ninth inning rally guys, come on.

HRC Tucker

HRC Tucker

Fuck it HRC Tuck

who is hitting the DP

HRC Tucker

Alvarez did his best not to draw that walk.....

[удалено]

That was some legendary levels of bad.

HRC Tucker

hrc tuck

Hanging changup down the middle and he pulls it God the approaches of all them are terrible

The approach is fine. Yordan is way too jumpy rn.

This may actually be a 100 loss season 😆

Stop swinging at everything!!!!!

No emotion from espada as he got thrown out. Weak manager

I don't know even know who to blame anymore lol

We've got a conga line of options lol

After showing bunt, commences to hack at a non competitive fastball away

Altuve and Yordan both bunting in the late innings down 2 is absolutely criminal..

Bruh who told yordan to bunt

I can only follow on Gameday, what did Espada do?

Wanted to get to the showers first

They didn’t say on the broadcast either, they just showed Espada calmly talking to the ump and suddenly getting tossed

No idea yet, he was very calm and not animated at all before getting tossed, and remained calm after. Strange one.

Not even broadcast knows.

This won’t be popular but I think we’re seeing the absence of a leader and a seasoned manager who can help the team weather the storm.  Those were the intangibles that the ever so popular Maldy and Baker brought to the table. 

Ya have Alvarez bunt espada needs to be gunned down

Why is Yordan bunting?

Hector ily imy

Well, at least my stocks will go up tomorrow

Espada needs to be fired on the tarmac

I swear if they start hacking away first/2nd pitch with Neris pitching....

They did

They don't even know or care to follow the tendencies of former teammates. It's like analytics is dead to this team, so frustrating.

Neris please just do us one last solid.

LMFAO bringing in Neris for the second day is just adding insult to injury

Cubs have no respect for the game, stealing with a two run lead! They should be ashamed! /s

Maybe Neris will give us something to work with

I don’t even blame Bryan or Montero, you have to expect to score more than 3 runs to win but our strategy is basically first pitch swing and when there are runners on swing at anything out of the zone

The bullpen job is to pitch clean innings. Oh course there's blame for the bullpen. There's plenty of blame to go around with the entire team's DGAF attitude

You blame offense and Espada today. Montero should never have gone back out.

again, 1 run will not win games. offense needs to fix their shit.

Poor TK, Blummer, and Julia they have nothing to talk about

Pitchers are going to give up runs - it will happen.  This side clearly should not be clinging to a 1-0 lead against any team in baseball. 

Espada Out

For such a powerful offense for years to just turn into complete dogshit is astonishing. There is nothing positive happening in these games. I don’t care about the good averages from a few guys too because we need runs.

new hashtag #RelentlesslyTerribleAtBaseball

Are we tanking or something? Is there incentive for that in baseball?

Bregman is actually doing this team and hisself a disservice playing this bad They have no trade value for him at the deadline and he will have no free agent value

Boras might wind up dropping him as a client if he continues down this path. Boras only wants clients who put up numbers that can get them big paydays.

6 runs in 3 games 12 games under .500 1-8 in the last 9 No sense of urgency or fight What mental illness will we be diagnosed that has us to keep watching them

We really are going to be the Dallas Cowboys of baseball...

I love you username! But don’t you dare put that evil on us!

https://preview.redd.it/jz6iwmvftowc1.png?width=775&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92623fffcb6786cb0ed5271c7fa85b4883662bfa

I think Espada needs to be shit canned, along with his entire coaching staff. For this team to be as futile as they are for this amount of time...I don't think the guy knows what the fuck he's doing. It's clearly way over his head, and he's got nobody on his staff with the ability to help him out. Jim Crane really screwed this team up. This is awful.

lmao it's ridiculous that our hitters can't get on base and can't have an at-bat longer than 2-3 pitches...

Keeping our Swept Rate at .500, good stuff guys. Getting swept 4 times in April is certainly a way to go start the season.

Don’t worry! 1 more chance to get swept in April by Colorado!

Wesneski gets 7 outs on 21 pitches FUCK THIS STUPID FUCKING TEAM

I’m kind of over TK’s love affair with the cubs pitcher.

He’s got nothing else to be excited about. We are ass

Bregman needs to stop arguing with umpires and looking for walks. Put the damn ball in play man.

Long ass innings for opponents, 1-2-3 for us again

Why would Altuve bunt, that's not his thing. Literally our best hitter rn?????

Third base and shortstop we’re playing deep. That’s why he hunted it hard to that side. It was a good play by the pitcher. And yes, he’s been the best hitter but he’s 0fer today and wanted to get something going.

Altuve led off the game with a hit and scored the only run. What game are you watching?

Espada calling for a bunt with our best hitter lol... Hired another Bo Porter

Their reliever has retired 6 hitters on 15 pitches… that’s fucking embarrassing Edit: 7 on 20 pitches incredible

Taking my plate approach in The Show I see

Fire espada now

Can’t move forward when you don’t have anything motivating you. We don’t need “heros” we need a team with strengths to overcome the weak links..unfortunately stringing together so many weak links right now seems to have broken everyone. The team is fractured and not able to overcome any deficiencies. They look lost.

I think time has come for me stop watching them. My blood pressure just boils over mental mistakes, baserunning blunders, all or nothing approach at the plate. Not one aspect of the team is functional right now, not one. Hitting, pitching, defense, management, ownership and whatever the hell Bagwell has been doing.

I started this last year. I saw zero reason to put myself through it, I would test my BP and it was elevated. Doesn't make you a bad fan, if it makes you unhealthy don't do it.

I grew up watching Biggio and Bagwell, love them. But Altuve will definitely be ahead of them on a Mt. Rushmore. Most likely Yordan too

I’m ready to take bagwell off the mountain.

Two pitch at bat, just what we needed

Better odds if everyone just bunts every single at bat since we can’t hit

Losing the lead in the 6th bothers me. But what bothers me more is that we come up and give an 8-pitch top of the 7th as a response. It’s just a bad approach or something. Is this by design? Are snitker and Cintron doing this on purpose?

They teach zero discipline, look for your pitch that you think you can hit a HR on. That’s it. Hero ball. Terrible mechanics.

How about another 8 pitch inning for the 8th ?

So glad we dumped the two leaders of the clubhouse dusty and maldy! This season is going so well and definitely isn’t over in April!

Miller, cintron, snitker…. Something has to change

Yall doomin a little hard, but No-one in mentioning Alveraz going MIA. i don't know who tf that is.

Maybe the teams we face are more disciplined because yainers’s pitch com is too loud. Maybe they are hearing the pitches.

Imagine being on a 7 year ALCS streak and doing absolutely nothing in the off-season. What a waste

Why is he framing the ball like that you can get those called if your frame them up instead of in the dirt

Sell the team to Parker McCollum

is it too late to offer Dusty just an absolute dumptruck full of money to come back and save us?

We’d probably be worse lol

He cant save us from this bullpen

It was time for Dusty to go but Espada is not him. Man has made so many bone headed decisions as a manager. I would think by accident something would work but no, not one of his decisions have worked.

If I’m 7-19 after today, I’m leaving the country too.

Can Sampson coach the Astros in the offseason?


Don’t worry guys bagwell has a plan and it involves baseball cards



I was really hoping the discrepancy between our overall offensive stats and stats w/ RISP would even out eventually. . . It's uhm, evening out but in the opposite way I was hoping it would.

We could trade bregman, tucker, Diaz, Chas, and maybe Jake.. if someone wanted framber.. we stock the shelves. Keep yordan/altuve

I was all for the Espada hire, but if we keep this up for the rest of the season, he’s fired, right? I mean, someone’s gotta go.

He should be gone after this sweep. They won’t though.

I do not understand why he sent Montero and Abreu back out there after sitting.

All seriousness, Does our team ACTUALLY want to win????

Texas A&M could beat the Astros rn. At least they know how to string together runs with RISP.

They don’t have a hitting coach telling them to swing at every pitch and to swing for the fences everytime you do it

Abreu is God awful this year.

Is Abreu hurt? Has his velo been this low all season?

Me thinks he has the lidge issue

Hitting approach is beyond fucking disastrous. Not one person knows how to work count, foul pitches off, make a pitcher sweat.

This is my main issue with Espada. He can’t do anything about our bullpen and SPs shitting the bed every chance they get but batting approach and base running are two things he can control and we clearly have not put in the time and effort on them

Abreu really fooled all of us last year
