Manager sucks. He won't last 2 seasons.

If Volpe and Cabrera play like this will win the division going away.

---

If Pena and Dubon hit 20 HR each so will we. I'm not counting on either.

---

Lol. That isn't happening.

You what a gold star or something?

Would just like for y'all to take a breath and remember how much ball is left.

I agree but unfortunately looks like we are going to dig ourselves in quite a hole to start while the rangers look like they've picked up where they left off.

I mean the post is dumb. Hoping it's sarcasm.

But you damn well know if we had dusty and someone said it they'd have 50 blue stars

They were going to take a step back eventually. Happens to everyone. This might be it.

Not only won't that happen, I suspect that Dubon and Pena combined may be under 10.

There are major problems with this roster. I think it's appropriate to be extremely concerned.

---

It's one series

How many ****ty ones did we gave last year and still almost made the WS?

---

How much better of a bullpen did we have last year?

The Blue Jays series will tell us a lot about this team whether or not this was a one series fluke, or if it's going to be pretty much a repeat of last year at home

That's the hottest take I've seen here in quite a while.

In terms of 7-8-9, it's worse

Add LMJ and Garcia and it's a lot worse

Do we need to wait that long? Nothing has changed.

Was just trying to bring some levity to what is, yes, not an ideal start. I'm just not going to get as worked up as y'all on March 30th. Knock yourselves out. Go Stros

Just nothing

They get 3 cheap ass homeruns and we get nothing

this team is in deep trouble

Yeah… the offense is what worries me dating back to last August. A 1 or 2 run deficit feels insurmountable

Yeah that was horrible

One thing I have noticed in three games. Yankee hitters are not swinging at balls, but the Astros hitters have greatly expanded the zone.

Cheap ass home runs? Does it need to be a 450'+ upper decker to not be cheap?

I thought this board assured me Espada would fix all of Dusty's issues.

What are we risp to start the year?

B8 was a rather pathetic effort.

Wait, are you saying our back end of the bullpen was better last season over the Abreu/Pressley/Hader group??

gambochaman said:

At what point do we need to look at the hitting coaches? Seems like this offense has regressed year upon year

---

Please don't get me started this early in the season… I'm trying to pace myself.

Well, I pretty much agree with you that there is too much season left to panic. I think it is worth noting that there are a lot of glaring issues that were brought up in the off-season, and at the end of last season that weren't really addressed.

Last year the 7/8/9 innings weren't an issue with Neris Abreu and Pressly. We signed Hader… great move. But didn't address middle relief at all and in fact let a few guys walk in favor of AAAA quality guys.

We knew starting pitcher depth was an issue with 3 major injuries… even before JVs setback. Didn't address it.

We also knew Jose Abreu would be bad again but they did nothing to get another bat that could potentially replace him at 1st.

So yes, game three. It is way too early to panic. But the warning signs were there and honestly will probably continue to be there at least through the first month of the season.

We should have signed another starter, Hader, and a bat that could play first if necessary IMO

We've needed to replace then for a while. The world series win made a lot of people forget how bad they were.

There aren't enough stars to give this…the team's hot October made people forget that they were both basically packing their s*** for when the season ended.
