Abreu battled
but just can't square up 91 mph gas
Jose Abreu vs Bartolo Colon would be a huge battle
I mean it's really hard to time up a …checks notes…90 mph fastball with little movement.
Abreu is beyond washed

So…freaking…..slow.

Then have Abreu pitch to Bartolo. That would be a matchup for the ages.
Joey Gallo is now hitting 73 points higher than Jose Abreu.
Abreu is only .017 points ahead of Maldonado.

Having the worst performing 7-8-9 guys in the league was not even a thought to put on my 2024 Astros bingo card
I'd consider that 3 strikes right there and fire someone. Anyone it doesn't even matter at this point

Well in an attempt at some levity, there is Steve McMichael from the Bears' 85 title team calling out Angel Hernandez during the 7th inning stretch at a Cubs game in TWO THOUSAND AND ONE.
Apparently Hernandez got McMichael thrown out to the stadium for this.

Has this team turned a corner at home? 4-2 in our last 6 games at Minute maid
There's a time and place. Yesterday was neither.
If the ESPN box score is right, Abreu is down to .082.

I mean I did pose it as a question… and our offense + Hader answered it tonight

It actually feels quite a bit lower than that if you've watched him swing like Auntie 'Em trying to shoo pigs away from Dorothy

technically though...
91 mph is not gas
Maybe E85
Hader should be buying Abreu lunch every day. His total zero start is shielding Hader's total zero start.
1 RBI on the season for the Abreu as of 4/15
1 Save on the season for Hader as of 4/15.
And Espada needs to stop managing every night like it's the playoffs. Give the bullpen guys chances to see what they can do. You're going Augie Garrido on Seth Martinez.

Worst start since 2014 (5-13 after 18 games en route to 70-92).tjack16 said:

Joey Loperfido could get 2 hits in his next 200 AB's and still be batting the same as Abreu.
The more you know….

If we can get Verlander and Ugride back we can inch our way into contention .. just need it to happen soon before we dig a hole we can't get out of … sloppy starters spills over into the bullpen and we are seeing it now .. hopefully we get some back soon .. Framber too
And Abreu w .083 .. this cheet ain't helping anything

It's obvious I'm missed. I'll help ya out with a little wisdom to get everyone's mind right.
Remember, you can't have a win streak without eek. So right now we're in the eek but we got the guys to get it going.
Also, bring up Julks already!

It is time to move on. Cut him and let the White Sox bring him back. https://t.co/ncGlBenpgV

Would every GM want him? Sure, but you have other needs and a finite amount assets, so would you be substantially better off allocating those assets including draft picks and pool money to Hader? Probably not.Silent For Too Long said:
Hader has been frustratingly bad.
Bagging on Crane when everyone in MLB wanted Hader is a terrible take. Not a single GM would have passed on Hader granting they had an owner willing to spend.
Now, Crane could have told Dana, I blew your budget on Hader, we'll raise the budget by another $10-15M to fill our needs.
The worst part about Hader sucking is that you really can't justify Abreu or Pressley taking over the 9th given their similar struggles.
And regarding the other Abreu, it's time for an IL stint with discomfort.

if Chas and Jake don't start hitting...
we may see Julks sooner rather than later

In regards to Loperfido and striking out...probably time for the call pretty soon

Well it is finally happening. Not a playoff team with France/Brown Pressly/Hader.
Past time to dump Abreu.

Good thing we are getting back JV, LuAce, LMC, etc.

Maybe Espada needs to invert the bullpen.
New back 3 - Scott, Seth, Montero.
Middle relief - Hader, Abreu, Pressly.

So when JV comes back, who goes down? Right now it seems like Arighetti but what if Hunter Brown gets lit up again tonight for the 3rd start in a row?
Eventually they will both go down but my guess is Arrighetti first and Brown second.
I would hope Brown first then Spaghetti because Brown hasn't shown me a damn thing
