Frustrating season. Had some great moments but the 2023 campaign was a roller coaster ride I don't want to go on again

Let's go for title #3 in 2024

Texas have a very clear weakness they can plug in the off-season and will net then 10-15 more wins. They win this division going away next year
When Roidolis finally pops from too many pills they'll have to replace his thumb headed ass


Maybe don't look at what Wyatt Langford is already doing


*Yawn*

The A's are going to run away with it…
The Mariners are going to run away with it…
The Rangers are going to run away with it…

When will people learn?

Winning without DeGrom is impressive.

Good riddance to this season. The ALCS is always amazing, but this season was ****ed. The window is going to see some potential obstacles after 24, but 2024 has the chance to be another title run if we hire the right manager and make some half decent signings. Usually, I am bummed and not ready for the offseason but I'm ready to dive in headfirst.

I'm going to assume the Astros front office was cleaning out Dusty's office for him when Maldonado was batting when we were down 6 with 2 runners on base?

Needs to be let go tonight

You're crazy. The Rangers have made good moves the last couple of years. Any team with Seager, Semien, Eovoldi, Degrom, along with some solid young guys should be set up to challenge the league again.
degrom won't pitch till August. They still have no bullpen, and already have a ton of money tied up in the guys you already mentioned. This is there team. It will be there team for many years. Will Garcia have 80 first half RBIs every year or Evoldi pitch great in the regular season like he did this year? Idk but other than Carter who are their young guys

First order of business in the offseason needs to be extending Altuve

Then load up on pitching. Thats what will win it next year.

Rollercoaster of a season. Lots of ups and downs. AL West still runs through Houston. Period.

Time to head to the long day off thread.

Welp. Not the out one I was hoping, but in reality, a final 4 is pretty damn solid. We're spoiled, and we're living in the good old days. It's been a fun hang this season, look forward to next year. Stay classy and go Astros.

It was a good ride to be one of the last 2 AL teams standing. Sucks to lose, but there are still pieces to make a run next year. Looking forward to the offseason discussions around trades, free agents and contract extensions (hopefully not Dusty).

Thanks to all of the regular posters who add so much content (including T&A).

Need to see what Lance can do? I think he takes up $17 million or so

Waited until the end of the game to go back and dig up that post? Bizarre lol. Must've been thinking about it all night. He was 0-4 with 4 Ks when I said that

At least he can play defense. King Tuck? Not so much and with a weak stick too. Tough playoffs for the guy. Dude has ups like my grandmother.

among Altuve, Bregman, and Tucker...

Altuve will get taken care of first in the offseason --- and that's appropriate

it will be a tough call on Bregman

and would not expect anything with Tucker

Tucker had to make the last out.

What a kick in the junk.

"It all starts with Maldy"

Donkey

So many opportunities too with RISP and Maldy at the plate and he did jack ****

Good job on taming Javier and Framber too. Guarantee we win at least one at home if Diaz started every game

Looks like most of the money will go to the pen. The only curiosity for me is how Brown views Pena after this season/postseason. For now I'll guess all the positions are basically set except maybe LF/CF.

Good but not great. That's the 2023 Astros. I'm not sure what another manager might have done, but I'm ready to turn the page on the Dusty Baker era. Nothing more to discuss.

Enjoy the break, boys. See you in spring training!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

They bought this championship. It worked. They don't necessarily need young guys.

And I said it was dumb from the beginning before he went 0-4. It fueled him.

Maldy sucked defensively this season.

Agree, this team was fatally flawed and barely scraped through the year only to end up one win short of a third straight pennant. It is what it is, they choked at home and they will get to think on that.

Should be better next year and I'm really looking forward to seeing a dugout without Dusty, a lineup without Maldonado, and an org restructured in Dana's image.
