This is definitely feeling more and more like "The Jerry Jones Story"PoppaB05 said:
Just to recap:
JV basically said he wouldn't go anywhere but here. Still give up 2 highly rated hitting prospects from a thin system.
Kikuchi, a straight up 1/3 off a year rental that may not start a single game in the postseason and we give up 2 Major League contributors and one of our options if Bregman leaves.
On top of the Montero/Abreu sh** sandwich contracts
This is how a dynasty ends

Just caught up after being off since the beginning of the game. Holy hell, Ed Wade thinks that's a bad move. I was willing to give it a chance when I thought it was Bloss for Kikuchi, but this?! Hard for me to think the Astros dynasty didn't end the night Crane fired Click for some inexplicable reason.
He ain't going to get anything to hit.
pitched around him
just need a single from Yainer
Up and in seemed to be the book there.
This day
Just ****ing gave that game away.
18 baserunners = 3 runs
Completely uncompetitive at bat. You can see why they gave up the run on the walk.
So fitting for Diaz to swing at a ball 2.5 feet above the zone
Diaz with a horrible night
Yanier looked terrible those last two ABs jesus
Eff you Hader and Pressly
F me

Yes, at no point in that game did it feel like we'd lose until 2 outs in the 8th.
Yainer with a terrible AB
What an awful day for the Astros. Horrible. Embarrassing. Fire Dana, fire bagwell, fire Reggie.
Watches the first pitch straight down the middle, then swings at two out of the zone. Just terrible plate discipline.
the dude threw more balls than strikes in the 9th and got the save.Aggie8587 said:

July 29, 2024. A date which will live in Astros infamy
Punchless Astros lose again when a team walks Yordan. No one else to fear in this lineup with Tucker out.
Texans are officially the best organization in Houston after the buffoonery of today

Alex. Cintron.

The day the dynasty was murdered, an inside job

Yep, this team needs him
I would assume that a silver lining for today is you don't make a trade like that unless you are certain Tucker will play again this season

Dana proved today he's not that smart
9 hits and the opponent makes three errors and you score ……..3 runs. Ugh
We'll never really expected to win a Skenes vs BP game.
Show up and get it back tomorrow.
Some of y'all need to put your big boy undies on and a buckle up.

Baseball is wild. Astros vibes at a season high after Bregman's Saturday night walkoff HR. Vibes rather different at this moment. #Astros fall to Pirates, 5-3, after getting 7 innings of 1-run ball from Scott, Ort & Abreu.

This team could go make another lopsided future-mortgaging deal or two and still wouldn't have the makeup to win a title this year.
He's a scout. Never been a GM. Learning on the job is not what we needed. Crane has made some poor front office moves since 2020.
2 steps forward 2 steps back.
This homestand has been a microcosm of this season.
- ace start in game 1
- gritty comeback game 2,
- offensive dud game 3
- then a blown game by the bullpen 4
Pretty much every 2024 Astros result mixed into one 4 game stretch

84-win pace for the Astros
Maybe we'll DFA Montero and call up someone we can actually use in a +/- 5 run game tomorrow
