Just trash all around tonight. **** it, maybe we'll get them tomorrow.

*checks notes and see Odorizzi is pitching*

We'll, maybe we'll get them the next day to salvage a series.

Let's go find Gattis at whatever janitor job he's at now.
Ive been saying this for a while. He must have been an awful defensive catcher for no one to pick him up after he finished with us.

But didn't Blummer and TK say that their bullpen sucks and ours is really good.

Wasted a good start from Framber.

It wasn't a grand slam, so there's that

So tonight is the first game I've really been upset about.

This was just pathetic. With the first inning we had and the outing Framber had there's no reason to be down by 4 going into the 9th.

Maybe we'll get off to slow enough of a start we can fire dumbass Dusty without being crucified in the media.

Yep. In about the 6th inning

"If it becomes a battle of the bullpens it definitely favors the Astros" were the first words

After we lose tonight we will have the same record as last year at this point. I dont remember being this discouraged but maybe i was.

Garcia hustles less than Tucker out of the box.

Does he hustle as little in the field?

Not a Dusty fan, huh?

I'm just really annoyed how anemic our offense is and how Dusty continues to manage like he's shaking an 8 ball to figure out which reliever to put in and a dartboard for the lineup.

Serious question: hypothetically, how bad would it have to get for this to happen? Espada is waiting in the wings...

They won't do it because of the optics but if they're below .500 by a good margin at the break you should do it.

I'm no Dusty fan but I don't think this is on him.

It's not like he's got scorching hot bats riding the pine.

I think we'd have to be far enough out of it that we are selling at the deadline

the Astros are only 5-6 vs. the AL West.

that has not been the formula for success the past 5 years

I'm kinda glad I didn't buy a space city jersey, starting to remind me of the letterman jackets.

Unless I'm forgetting a game or two, the lead off spot has been an absolute disaster so far this year.

Catcher is stunningly bad, but that's really exacerbated by how anemic the offense has been in general. Diaz hasn't hit for crap, either. Just a bad team right now.

And someone please explain the logic in having Mushinski pitch in a high leverage situation. Maybe there weren't any other options?

What a bunch of whiny *******!

We all know the Astros are notorious for starting seasons like this. They will **** around in April and start putting stuff together in mid May. Every year we are straining to get to .500 by the end of the month.

No one except for Brantley and Bregman is really hitting right now. Yordan was sick. Yuli went on paternity leave. Altuve, LMJ and Pressly have been hurt. We are still missing Meyers. Of course there are holes. They will figure it out.

Put on your big boy pants. They will right the ship. Their struggles in April are just as predictable as the August swoon. It's a long season.

Diaz was chasing worse sliders than Peña tonight. Looked really bad.

Not just leading off the game, which has been terrible, but also leading off all innings. You're right, though. The actual leadoff spot is not getting on base. At all

To add to my earlier post, because Farmer will likely dig it up, the Astros were over .500 in April in 2017, 18, 19 and 21. They were below it in 2016.

In 16 they were 7-17
In 17, 16-9
18, 20-10
19, 19-12
21, 14-12

We were close to .500 last year and got back to the World Series. Several guys are in a funk at the same time. Bregman is usually one of those guys.

They will start hitting.

Also, the Braves are 7-10. The Red Sox, 7-10. The Phillies with all of their signings, 7-10. The White Sox are 6-9 (nice) are tied with the Tigers.

It is way, way too early to be so worried.
