K on 3 pitches is the high percentage bet with Fatbreu.ttha_aggie_09 said:yes it is but plot twist….Ags #1 said:
Lol this is going to come down to abreu isnt it?
He's going to ground into a triple play and this thread is going to burn
If Dusty hadn't won it last year he would be fired right now.

While this team is flawed and not fun to watch right now. I will say this feels a lot like 2021. There was ALOT of frustration all year and then we made the WS
While I'm not picking us to repeat this year, I still think we are an ALCS team. It might be a wildcard year but I'd still pick us to win a 5 or 7 game playoff series against any AL team besides maybe Tampa.
You have more faith than I. I just don't see it this year. I want to, but I just don't see it.
yeesh, 20 games out of 63
that is bad
that is bad

This thread is much more fun than this team is right now. Going to be interesting to see if the brass gets involved and forces some changes.
Unless that change is firing Dusty Baker, any other change is ultimately academic.
They could have kept Yuli for a lot less money, and had a lot better effort
Maldy down to .194

Six in one inning.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

It's time to bench him and give him
50% rest days and when he does play it's batting 9th
I think there's sufficient data so far to suggest this guy sucks ass, is over the hill, and won't turn it around

I'll take the ring but Dusty sucks ass
It will be OK….relax….
After Toronto took the lead in the 5th no one here thought there was a 10% chance the Astros could win is there?
Team seems to be settling back into yet another funk. Frustrating season to this point.

I dont think we will win the World Series this year, or really even the pennant. I think it's the Rays in the AL this year or a surprise team like the Orioles maybe having a Phillies/Nationals type of run.
But I think we at least make it to the ALCS.
5 runs in the last 3 games. Only scored in 3 of the 27 innings
Had the lead in all 4 games and limp out of Canada with a 1-3 series loss and Dusty still at the helm. Nightmare in Toronto

I'll take the ring too but everything that happened after seems to say one is enough.
The unholy trinity of offseason masterstrokes:
- Nudging the GM to leave and hiring a new one several months later
- Montero deal
- Bringing back Dusty
No one knew Abreu would be this bad but honorable mention to giving a 36-y/o a third year on an eight-figure AAV deal.

Seriously?
What the hell kind of name is Melvin, anyway?

Go buy your wife some gear, it will be fine.
A series win over cleveland would go a long way
I imagine Crane never thought he might be changing managers during the season...
but a 2004 Jimy Williams type move could be in the offing
and of course Drayton's shocking move back then...worked

Guy just won the ws last year. It would take an epic collapse for that to happen. Like be 10 games under .500

Does anyone here seriously think Crane is going to fire Dusty this season? I don't. Him winning it all last year was the "feel good" story of the playoffs and now we're stuck with him for better or worse. The optics of firing him would be terrible, even if it should happen.
I can't wait for the August slump. That's going to be brutal.

This just means we will crush it in august thru September. We will have a new 1st baseman and catcher by then

I'm just hoping some of the usual suspects don't have their annual 10-15 day IL stints. We have to stay healthy the rest of the year
I didn't watch tonight. And it sounds like I didn't miss much.
Toronto isn't a terrible team.
**** happens.
This is also their 14th game in 14 days. They need an off day. Unfortunately, that won't happen until Monday.

Astros back to playing .500 ball since Memorial Day weekend. I know it's been tough dealing with the injury bug so far, but not being able to win 1 of the last 3 to get the split in Toronto won't cut it.
Abreu should probably just sit for a while.

Guardians, Nationals, Reds and Mets sets up for a decent 12 game stretch.
8-4 or 9-3 would be nice. This weekend is a huge chance to get a game or two back in the standings with the Rangers going to Tampa
