The Astros front office needs to figure out why we aren't as good at home as on the road and make changes to address it.

Swept 3-0 by Boston here.

Astros regular season:
Home +11 (46-35)
Road +33 (57-24)

Really good year. Winning the WS is hard and you need things to fall for you.

The off season needs to address DH and C.

I suspect we will find out that Altuve has been playing on torn cartilage or worse a torn ligament. He needs to heal up. So does Carlos.

Been fun guys.

Downer. Time to retool the offense. Way too much dead weight, particularly at DH and C. Hope Ted shows some development going into next season because we could really use another good OF. And also, buy Kuechel
hate to put it all on a 21-year old...next year 22-year old...but the Astros need Tucker to be major league ready in 2019

You really are insufferable.

These guys arepros and competitors representing your home town and brought home the hardware in a very emotional season last year

Seriously, and from the bottom of my heart


GTFO

You know, you really need to take a look in the mirror. Last year is last year. I'm glad they won last year, but this ALCS has been sub par in contrast. Umps doing stupid **** excluded. I get being passionate about the sport and team, but extricate your head from your hind parts and actually see what's going on before telling people to GTFO.

Now, I'll see myself out. See y'all next year.

Highs and lows of playoff baseball. Win four straight and then lose four straight. See you next year, Boston. We'll get you next year. Great season Stros!

Stros laid down tonight. Very disappointing ending to a great season. Hope this gets under their skin and stays there for next year.


They didn't lay down. Boston is a really good team that has things going their way now.

Fan thoughts on Bregman's trash talking:

During series... "Bregman is a badass! **** Boston! Hahaha he's the best troller ever! Love it!"

After losing... "Bregman really needs to concentrate his efforts on the field and let his play do the talking."

For as good as this team was, it seems like they need a lot of retooling. A healthy Altuve and Corrrea will probably cover a lot of that.

On to the spring.

Sorry, but get lost. Perhaps I'd this was your first post, it would have been received differently.

Announcers can't wait to get on their knees for these guys. Hopefully there is decent football to watch Saturday, but maybe it's a good thing I have to wait a week to watch the Ags. My heart probably can't take it.

Chris Sale only pitched 4 (of the 45) innings in the series...and the Sox won handily anyway. Hard to believe

On our list of priorities we need a legitimate DH.

This gattis experiment as everday DH needs to end.

And some guys at the bottom of the lineup that can actually get on base and work counts.

We have way too many swing and miss Guys

That way my concern all season. They were just pretty atrocious at home this year. They relax or something - don't fight. Definitely has to improve.

Thanks for the insight. I thought they were dismantling the franchise.

Well...back to football. Taking a brief sports break until Saturday rolls back around. It's been fun as always guys. See you in the offseason thread.

Hahaha hey guys remember when Keuchel said we aren't the Cubs then we ended the season the exact same way as the reigning Cubs team did...

Yeah that was a funny joke

Obviously, it looks like the team hated the loss, who wouldn't, 2 in 3 years is what's next for these boys. Looking forward to the offseason moves we make, and can't wait for next Spring!

Those splits are crazy. Astros were the 2nd best overall team in the regular season to Red Sox.

but 11th best home team this year with the below teams ahead of us.

Boston
NY Yankees
Tampa Bay
Cleveland
Minnesota
Oakland
Philadelphia
Milwaukee
Chicago Cubs
Colorado

It is strange to be so dominant on the road and just a little above average at home.

the front office also needs to have a backup plan for Reddick and Yuli. They will be another year older...another year into their 30's next season

Cora has no idea what he is doing, he mismanaged the end of both of the last 2 games but his players and ours bailed him out! I could be the manager of the Sox right now they are all hot and catching all the breaks, I don't want to hear anything about Cora from media guys

I don't think they need THAT much retooling. DH definitely needs to be addressed as well as C.

But a full year of Kemp could go a long way with the bottom of the order. And we can hope Tucker takes the next step too.

If Carlos stays healthy, I think you have a really solid 1-5 with kemp at the back of the order.

We also need to hope Framber can get his walk issues figured out. He could be a big asset.

Hinch will turn out to be our Gene Chizik

Cora = Malzahn

Springer = Cam Newton carrying him to a championship
