This team's ceiling with an offense this abjectly terrible is a struggle for the last wild card. That's really it.
About to be in third place after the Angels win.

Pretty good AB by Julks there. It really ****ing sucks how our team refuses to show any sign of life on offense until the 9th these last 2 games.
It was a good AB for Julks. Its not on him we couldn't score 2 runs against the Reds.
Tucker needs to bat in front of Bregman.
Truly though Bregman needs to get going

first 3 hitters in the lineup...
were a crisp 0 for 12

France gets an L he didn't deserve.
This team is an absolute chore to watch.

The whole order needs to be shifted back to what was working earlier. I don't understand this thought of Altuve needing more warmup swings, so he's batting 2nd.
He's the perfect guy to bat 1st.
No Yordan, Bregman having the worst year of his career, and an anchor in the human pear means many stretches of terrible offense.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Bregman is terrible again
Bregman's OPS down to a woeful .709
We are 70 games into the season and are only 8 games over .500
3-7 in our last 10 games

Pitching, even with all their injuries (minus Montero) are not the issue. It's all on the offense.
Starting to have concerns about even getting in with these struggles
At least the Rangers lost

0-for-3 on opportunities to gain a single game in the division this week.
Starting pitching has given up 2 total runs in the last 3 games and we are 1-2
Pathetic

Undoubtedly. And it's not getting any better.
Sad, sad title defense.
I'm so pissed we are stuck with Dusty's old ass this whole season. If Dana and Crane had the balls they would fire his ass. We haven't run the same lineup out there 2 games in a row all season! How the hell are the guys supposed to get in a groove when they have no idea what is gunna happen between games. Altuve has batted lead off every game since George left. Now all of the sudden out of nowhere he gets moved to second. And he instantly slumps. I mean Altuve was 0-100 in the playoffs last year and Dusty never moved him out of lead off and now all of the sudden he does.
Make it make sense

23/70 games scoring 2 or fewer = 32.8%. One game per series has been a virtual lock to be a loss. Feels about right.#Astros score a run in the 9th, but it’s their only run of the night, lose to the Reds, 2-1. Houston now 2-21 on the season when they score 2 or fewer runs. Another strong pitching performance from the starter: France 6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, BB, 3 K.

Salsa has been terrible all year.

20-16 at MMP this year.

6-3 homestand is still doable.
But our offense has become homerun or nothing recently, and we don't have a lot of pop in our lineup.

They also have 3 starting pitchers (2 for the season) down injured. And 3 starting fielders miss big chunks of time.
Will say it's fun watching the Rangers slowly slide back to reality after facing half decent teams. Whether or not the Astros have half of what it takes to be the team taking advantage of it.

Braves have had Fried and Wright miss meaningful time, along with Arcia, Harris, and d'Arnaud. Rangers lost deGrom and Seager for a while. Rays lost Springs, Rasmussen, and a few others. Yankees had half their rotation on the IL and Judge has had two IL stints. Dodgers are missing Buehler and May, had Gonsolin miss time, and lost their starting SS preseason.
All of them are still winning. Injuries aren't an excuse. This team is throwing away tons of winnable games because its offense is tragically awful and its manager is playing hopscotch in a world of chess.
To be fair, the yanks and dodgers have the same record as us. A couple moves at the deadline and certain guys getting things going could make a huge difference. For all the pitching losses, pitching isn't the problem.
Yet we keep wasting good starts.
Chris Sampson, now that is a name I haven't heard in a very long time...J.P. France logged his third consecutive quality start, becoming the first Astros rookie to record 3-plus consecutive quality starts since RHP Chris Sampson, who did so in 5 straight starts in 2007. pic.twitter.com/e8gqTSJ9Wu

Let's hope we don't end up like that 2007 team.
As we all know offense clearly the biggest issue. With a black hole at catcher. Slow start at first and a 3rd baseman who is average right now. Plus no altuve for most of the year and no yordan now. Trade for a big bat if possible. And maybe an arm. But a big bat would do wonders for this team imo.
Tuve
Pena
Yordan
Big bat hopefully
Tucker
Bregman
Abreu
Chas/meyers
Diaz
And the big bat could bat 5-6 if needed

On track for 90 win and tied for 2nd in the division with the Angels. We are #Ready2Reign
Would the fan base embrace Bellinger? He'd be very useful as a CF and left handed bat. The Cubs have no need to retain him.
