Many times over the last two years people were saying that Jake needed to go. Now he's one of our better hitters. Have to let them work through it occasionally. It hurts more right now because of the April hole they dug themselves.

This team just blows. It's gonna be a long summer.

I need the Aggies to eliminate the sips this weekend or it'll be an even longer summer

It's just frustrating the Astros offense can't run a struggling pitcher before the 6th. It feels like over 50% of starters have quality starts against the Astros.

This is most unimpressive.

Limp team is limp

The 2024 Astros are a bad team with good players.

Seems pretty dumb of Espada to play Chas against Lopez tonight tho.

Way too much talent to be playing this shtty.

Espada hasn't even gotten thrown out just because this season

Does Espada make it to the break?

Probably…but he shouldn't.

He'll continue to get support from the "the manager just fills out the lineup card" camp…but he and this staff of awful Dusty holdovers seem destined for the Bill O'Brien legacy dumpster.

On the plus side, there should be plenty of cheap tickets for family outings this summer.

The Astros go on the road and lose 3 of 4 to a team…said team fires their offensive minds after the series they won after extending their lead in the division (one of said guys has been with the team less than a year).

Astros have another night that has looked like almost every other for the last 2 months…change nothing and hold nobody accountable.

I'm trying really hard to give Crane credit for this era…but things are really trending to dumb luck based on one good GM hired.

This is the drum I have been beating all season. There is zero attempt to make a pitcher work. Cintron is cool with the team swinging at everything.

Fire that rag ass bum once and for all. Batting average does not translate to runs when all you hit are singles.

unfortunately, when the Astros play good teams...

the hitting and pitching struggle

been that way since opening day

One day closer to selling day. Everyone is on the table not named Yordan, Altuve, or Pena.

Add Tucker to the list too if we feel close to an extension.

Espada and Brown need to go as well. Just bad, bad baseball.

So you want Crane, Bags and Reggie negotiating those deadline trades? Think I will pass.

Turrible. Crane needs to realize we are a freaking laughing stock.

New GM
New Coach
Bring up the 1B from AAA
Cut bait with Jose .100
Get rid of Baggie
Trade Bregman for magic beans
Get some pitchers that aren't hurt all the time


I could keep going, but yall get the drift.

yep, it's the dreaded:

"sum of the parts is greater than the whole"

the Astros are 6-8 since the 4-game sweep of the A's

it's amazing how many false positives came out of that series
