Lifelong fan. I honestly admit I've been spoiled the past nine years or so. This is just not fun right now for me. Reminds me of the hopeless teams of 2011-13. But we have too much talent to be that hopeless. Those teams really were bad AAA teams. Heck even the teams of my youth were usually close to .500 and competitive. This team is not competitive at all.


This is a replay of the 2000 team, to me…watching players just fall apart in front of your eyes.

Bregman down to .192

Where does he bottom out? .190? .185? Lower?

Yep, this is definitely more frustrating. This team has the talent to compete, whereas the rebuilding Astros years you aren't expecting much.

This could be a historic 0-7 regular season sweep to the Yankees

and the Astros have a $250 MM payroll


They are playing worse than what everyone thought the As would do going into the year...

I've remained positive. The statistics are there that this team should be better than this, BUT...

I can't stand this anymore. 30+ games, even with all these injuries, this team should be competitive. They are not.

These guys have been champions. Where is the heart? Where is the respect for themselves and each other? They know they are embarrassing themselves and can't do jack **** about it.

I understand players are people and have personal struggles. People aren't at the top of their games all the time at work. But at least show some effort. Respect the team, your role and the game. These guys seem like they are just going through the motions, expecting to win.

These are men paid to play a kid's game. Stop with the pressure and just ****ing play. Get it out of your heads. At least act like you are happy to be there!

Im not bashing our guys, but some over/under stuff could really liven up the season. I'll be back later
Feels so good, feelin' good again.

With as poorly as this team is playing, why not take some risks and, possibly, make something happen?

IMO, that was a bad "hold".

This professional **** is stale. Someone needs to rip into them and make them uncomfortable.

I think the losing and sucking is probably making everyone pretty uncomfortable. There's really not much else to say.

Springer, Yuli, Correa, Brantley, Maldonado - at some point we just lost too much fire and leadership from the locker room.

There is no one holding people accountable, coaches included.

Including tonight (so far), Yordan is 3 for his last 30 - 2 infield singles included. Clearly something is wrong .

So Bregman may be playing himself into a 1 year prove it contract a la Bellinger.

What would you offer?

Bregman has made good contact in his 3 at-bats...

but there's no power behind the swing -- the ball doesn't go anywhere

I agree. He's fouled a couple balls off his legs near the knee. He hasn't been right in weeks.
