It's just unbelievable how bad they are in extra-innings.

Seth Martinez and Montero will haunt this season
How is this on Martinez? Two errors by your gold glovers in Bregman and Peña. He absolutely did his job

apparently Dusty did not double-switch after the 9th inning

lol

so Kessinger has to pinch hit for Seth Martinez

What a valiant effort in the bottom half, 2 outs on 3 pitches

Still can't believe Julks hit into a DP with a chance to walk it off in his hometown on Fathers Day. Sports give us those moments sometimes where you are just certain a guy is going to deliver. We might be cursed.

What's more likely? And this is not an overreaction. As the roster stands right now…


A. Astros win the division
B. Astros miss the playoffs


B. Hate to say it but B.

Kessinger getting a high leverage at bat for a team desperate for a win. You just have to laugh at this team.

And whatever you do, don't ******* bother to watch a pitch!!!

I think we can make the wild card for sure, but we can't rely on other teams "cooling down"

We need at least another starter, and a reliever. Plus a proven/dependable bat

Third place. Division deficit growing. Out of the wild card. Same problems go without fixing.

This team is clearly not a World Series contender (which is amazing and pretty hilarious considering they're the defending champions) and it will take more help at the deadline than it's worth the cost to acquire.

Get what prospects you can, finally get rid of Dusty, give Dana an offseason, and go again.

That's how it feels.

All we needed was one run. And we had two outs to work with. Surely there was a way to score a run with bases loaded in that situation. It's an old play. It sounds something like please. Or cheese. Wait no have it. Squeeze. That's it. Squeeze.

2-4 homestand. Wow

This was supposed to be a 7-2 or 6-3 at the worst stretch.

You're asking the guy who gave up the DH and almost messed up a double switch, all because he doesn't know who should be playing catcher, to make that call?

Swept.

20-18 at MMP.

0-6 in extra innings.

How Dusty has a job is beyond me. The mail today is leaving Altuve out of the li who after a 4 hit game and saying it was cause he already planned it. Manage the damn team! Stop throwing our worst pitchers out for Manfred Ball every time. I'm telling you we would have much more fire if we nutted up and fired him. The team is taking on his arrogant don't care personality too much and has lost the desire and fire

actually he did mess up the double switch

should have but Jake in the 9-hole for Pressly

and then Seth Martinez in the 8-hole for Julks

...but Dusty just subbed Jake into LF directly for Julks...so the pitcher's spot stayed in the 9-hole

and thus Kessinger pinch hit to begin the 10th

I think they really think they can flip the switch. We'll see. They seem really lackadaisical now.

0-6 in extra innings is a direct indictment on manager strategy.

Beautiful.

Team can't hit, can't execute, can't find any fire, and can't overcome its braindead managing. Everyone has injuries. This is team-wide. It's the gold glove SS suddenly forgetting how to play defense. It's the all-star RF barely seeming to care most of the time. It's your HOF 2B coming up in a big pinch hit situation and quickly striking out. It's something so bad about how they hit situationally and are managed strategically that they're literally winless in extras.

Do we really want to get rid of half the decent prospects we have for one bat and one pitcher that won't be able to fix all this on their own?

There's no sense of urgency. They think they'll be able to flip the switch.

You can't even make this **** up anymore.

I hope Dana doesn't make any major acquisitions before the deadline unless Dusty is canned. He will absolutely waste/mismanage it

Big series against the Mets and you know you're going to get the best out of Scherzer and Verlander

If we go into LA on a 7 game skid good night

Wondering who the first poster will be to tell us we are all overreacting and just "give it more time"
