Not sure why I put myself through the agony of watching this team every night.

On the bright side, those were the first three strikeouts all night!
Am I off-based in saying that Correa's defense is very unimpressive and somewhat lackluster so far?
He's made quite a few errors, he's missed quite a few makeable plays, not made a few tougher plays that I expect him to make.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

We're an embarrassment right now. This team just flat sucks. Time for a come to Jesus meeting.
I envy Seattle for being able to put together an inning like this. We sure the **** can't do it.
Altuve telling him to throw home with 2 outs.
Just get the one out right there at 2nd.

Correa in general has been pretty lackluster so far
I went to piss and they scored 4 runs.

Weak stream?
Someone will be fired in the next 5 games of this keeps up. Probably strom

So general consensus that the best part of the game was Julia gettin hit in the tit with a flying fish?
So a repeat Cy Young for Dallas and MVP for Correa are looking a little out of reach at this point in the season. Would love to see a big turn around by both.

Nope.

If this really happened, it should be vined immediately.
Nathan Karns for Cy Young

Not gonna lie, I have woken her up more than 3 times this season yelling in anger.
But that was before I started seeing the humor in the losing and my sports fandom humility in general.

But if we turn this thing around Hinch has a pretty solid shot at Manager of the Year.

Admit it...If this team goes on a torrid run, dominates the 2nd half and wins the division, I think even you would have no qualms with Hinch for MOY.

Eh. We won last year in spite of him, and I'm sure it could happen again.
My opinion on hinch: he's not a bad manager, nor is he a good manager. Manager actually seems to be incorrect. He does what luhnow and sabermetrics tell him to.
It's like someone came and cut off our team's balls and then fed them to the dogs while they watched. They don't believe just how ****ing bad they are playing right now.
quote:I've tried to stay away from this thread through the slow start b/c I tend to go to the dark side really easily with regard to Houston pro sports, but it's time to legit be pissed and Hinch has managed this club to a 78-84 record over their last 162 games after this loss tonight.quote:

He basically backed himself into not being potentially fired after last season's collapse down the stretch by them backing into and looking good in the playoffs, but this team needs discipline and he is completely incapable of providing it.
They're not turning this around with Hinch at the helm as it has been almost a calendar year since this team was any better than a .500 club...hell, the season is almost a month old and they haven't even won consecutive games.
It's not just a slow start anymore, this is a defining stretch and the dude needs to get sent packing or this team will quietly play out a season in an empty stadium with the same level of give-a-damn that we saw prior to 2015.
I just went and looked at it, Hinch is 19-31 as a manager since the calendar rolled over to September last season. Considering that was pressure of a playoff chase (13-16) and pressure of expectations (6-15)...I'd say that we're finding out the dude is a turd and not a diamond.
This is total garbage, Houston sports at its finest. Putting my attention squarely on Aggie Baseball.
As an above poster stated, I don't think he's that great but I don't think he's that bad.
I'll put it this way...I don't think he's the problem.
I tend to lean on it's the players because I think you could insert Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa, or Bobby Cox as a manager and we'd still K a ton, Gmez would still swing out his ass, Castro would be atrocious, and the back end of the rotation would still suck a fat one.

So how many games over 500 do they have to go the rest of the way to win the division? 20? 25? 30? I have very little hope in this team. After the rockets laid a turd this season too.
It's getting close to time to Jimmy Williams Hinch. Time to find the next Garner.
And yes, Correa is ducking bad on defense. He's looking like hell play the back half of the year at 3rd, and at this point, that's looking like it could be nothing but good for this club.
