I know Press is the one who blew it, but Abreu goes out there and puts 2 on with no outs and has to wiggle out of it. Just no one in the back end is holding up their end of the bargain. Montero has been the best bullpen arm so far this season and no one would have expected that development.CFTXAG10 said:This was the killer.

Yep.
And this series was a microcosm of the season so far.
Friday JV comes out and puts the team on his back going 6 in a strong outing while the offense scores early and lines up the bullpen like we had planned all along. Things were looking up.
Then Saturday happens and the back end blows up losing a late lead and falling in extras again.
Then Sunday comes around and the hapless offense shows up and gets shut down by a guy making his 2nd ML start all while our starter coughs up 3 in the first.
So yeah...One step forward 2 steps back
Yeah - that's a bad one. Those are situations where the ump should have to issue an apology and pay a fine.Marvin said:bearkatag15 said:An Aaron Boone ejection for the ages and I don't blame him for being this hot pic.twitter.com/BiLgQcmLJG

And guess what will happen to the umpire... not a flipping thing.
Yep Abreu has had one clean inning all season against Atlanta.

That actually may be more probable than him turning it around.Sex Panther said:cc10106 said:

I'd rather we boo him and hopefully he announces his immediate retirement

Go look in the mirror and have at it.Wabs said:
Can we boo Espada for keeping him in the lineup? Brown for not calling up Loperfido? There's got to be somebody that we can boo.

Man, I will never understand why so many of you guys hate our own players. I get being frustrated- I am too. That's an understatement. But when you would rather boo than show support for a player who is clearly lost… that's something I expect in the Bronx. Not Houston.
If it was an effort thing I would be fine with booing. But the guy works his ass off. I genuinely feel bad for him and hate that it's getting close to the end of the leash. I wish it turned out better.
I took some time away from this thread because it was just getting too toxic. Came back and this was the first thing I see. Guess I'll log back off for a while.
To each their own- I'm not trying to be the thread police and I'm not saying what you guys can and can't post. It's just not for me.
Hopefully we get a win streak going soon.
Ok so it's a bit of an apple/oranges comparison if you factor in all those things.tjack16 said:cc10106 said:

Young 5 tool player still in his prime going through a slump vs "37" year old who has the back of a 60 year old and can't catch up to a 90 MPH fastball

There's no way they can throw Framber in Mexico City, but I guess until there's official word who knows.

I just think it would be cool to see Astros fans do something like that with how much negativity there has been lately. Myself certainly included.
If this is the result of Jose Abreu working his ass off, I shudder to think what will happen when he stops trying.texasaggie2015 said:Sex Panther said:cc10106 said:

With Christian. Javier on the 15 day IL we now have our 5 best pitchers behind Verlander on the IL .. it is what it is
Hunter Brown might and I say might be a decent 1-2 inning relief guy at best, that dude sucks as a starter.. as do most of the others we are trotting out their right now … gotta get some arms back soon or we will be a bottom feeder this yeartjack16 said:fullback44 said:

People seem to think Hunter Brown is up there at the top too.. somehow
The defensive things feel like effort to me (missing pop-ups, missing balls thrown to him). I get he works hard, but the results are consistently not showing any improvement. He's hurting the team on both sides of the ball. If he was getting paid less than $5M per year he'd already be gone. I think there's still a lot of animosity as well from last year from a lot of fans (me included) when he was clearly injured for large chunks of the year, knew he was injured, and refused to admit it and take a break, even while his lack of production was hurting the team. That's selfish, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's happening again.texasaggie2015 said:Sex Panther said:cc10106 said:

#Statcast Aging Curve for Swing Speed
— Tangotiger 🍁 (@tangotiger) April 22, 2024
I wouldn't pay too much attention to very left of chart. I'd just treat it swing speed is roughly flat until roughly age 31. After that, drop is quick
Which makes sense with everything we know. We didn't know the magnitude. Now we do. pic.twitter.com/Nh4p5jKmdL
If wonder if we could measure Abreu's swing and calculate his real age?
