Fiers gave us 6 very good innings, just 2 hits albeit both runs scored off a HR. It's like the entire staff has a brick wall at 6.

Our bullpen is just awful

You're right bud. I am finally commenting. I've waited a lifetime for this franchise to get it together. This was a great year, and it's being trashed by a small time management crew/office.
You think things are on the up and up? Injuries aside, you think things have gone as well as they could have?
That same management and office that is "trashing" it is the same one that built it. Hope this helps.
McCann would have been halfway to the mound on that throw from Gregerson

But would have made several aggressive pumps to first base
And the wheels come off
jakEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gregreson was not happy

Jesus H Christ.... The defensive specialist
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA

Maybe he shouldn't have hung a slider, this bullpen is a disaster and there is no answer in sight.

Trashing is a bit harsh, underperforming at the deadline sure, but not trashing.
...can we panic yet?
nope

Gotta find a way to create a spark and right the ship before this becomes a prolonged streak.
I promise, nothing in my personal sports universe would make me happier than to live and see an Astros' World Championship. Frankly, I'm surprised all the posters on here that tell people "it's baseball" year after year haven't had it either.
We all know it's baseball. We all know injuries happen, and prospects don't pan out. Two teams came out of the break as the best in their league. One of them, injuries and all, made moves and have surpassed their winking clip after the break. The other.......
Why is it wrong to come on here and say as much? Plenty of fans bite their tongues all year, and I guess today was my day.

What's the magic number??????
Panic about what? That we might lose games months from now? These games don't matter, Astros need to get healthy and hit more consistently if you want earlier times in the year to come back.
Going into the playoffs with this pitching staff? Uh, good luck with that. LOL
feels like a nice bookend to Marwin's grand slam against the Rangers
the completion of the arc

If the good guys don't come back today, that'll be 3-8 in the last 11 games.
Ouch.
Ouch.
Saying the season is "over" because of a 20 game stretch is absurd. Now if they play .400 ball all the way into October that is a different story. But you can't throw the season away after what has gone on the last 3 weeks. You could have spoke your mind when this team was also killing everyone before the break, but for some reason you only want to come on here and drag everyone downMisterFurious said:

I think the veteran players on the team need to pull Hinch aside and say..."you're going to start the best 9 players on Tuesday vs. the White Sox. No designated days off. No AAA guys. Let's play to win."Aggie8587 said:No kidding, this team has been pitiful the last 2 weeks.W said:

I disagree. These games do matter. Red Sox are only 8.5 back from us. We need to start putting some wins together soon and get hot in September. We can't just all of a sudden turn on a switch and be unstoppable again.JJxvi said:

This team is barely over .500 since mid-June it's been longer than just the last 3 weeks.
have to disagree. These games do matter. The Astros need to be the #1 seed so they can avoid the Indians until the ALCS. Give someone else a chance to knock them out before thenJJxvi said:

The Astros have also gone 4-8 over 12 games earlier this year, back before whatever "collapse" people think has happened. It's baseball.
Stroman at 115 pitches, you'd think there would be some meat crossing the plate soon.
Over .500 is winning more games than losing if I remember right. And usually that puts you in the playoffs. With the start these guys had, the least of their worries is the record right now. It's called the "Dog Day's of Summer" for a reason. They are just trying to get healthy and then gain momentum into the playoffs.aggie0109 said:

This seems a little bit like the 2015 season when we started off hot then played .500 ball for pretty much the rest of the season. Good thing there is still 2 months to get back on track before the playoffs.
still alive. Need a big hit from Bregman
