Nice win! I have to shamefully admit I took Chas as "my guy" to start the season. Needless to say I haven't denfended him, how could I?


My guy was Javier… now I can't hype him up

Being that my guy is HB, if he wants to have a season opposite of 2023, I won't be mad. He's really found something with his sinker.

I'm just glad to see him and looking somewhat healthy. If you're not aware of his Barstool exit and drama, I was legit worried about his well-being.

Why is Hader pitching up 4?


I like it here

Think it sets the tone coming off an off-day and after what happened with Abreu today.

Get your dude out there to seal up a shutout and let everyone know no more playing around.


Sounds great. Until it's a 2 run game tomorrow and Sunday and you can't use him 3 days running.

In a perfect world you give pressly a chance to show you trust him.

He went to rehab dealing with alcoholism and eating disorders. Takes a toll on a person.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but does anybody our record with and without Abreu? Seems like we really picked up when he went down and then back to crap when he got back.

Chas had 41 x-base hits last year including 22 HR's

averaged 1 x-base hit every 10 at-bats

he's fallen off a cliff in 2024
Honestly, I kept waiting on him to "return to norm" last year but he never did. He kind of got hot at the end of the previous season and never really let up. I wonder which is the real Chas?

Sucks regarding the mismanegment of Loperfido. Got to wait until next week for him to replace Chas (or if Tucker comes back early)

Guy has some serious demons. The blogs he put out toward the end and some of the responses from the other barstool guys back at him were tough

He's been in the tank literally since the day the news story broke about him and Dusty being at odds. September 8th or 9th I think.

It's a lot mental with him right now and wouldn't be surprised if he just needs a change of scenery

He seems to be doing better now that he's no longer working for them. I hope he can find enough continued success to keep going in his own

The article stated they had evidence he was betting but not on baseball. The guys who took lifetime bans were betting on baseball. The players suspended a year were just betting. But MiLB players don't have the same kind of union and resources as the umpires.

C'mon...

If Pressly comes in a run scores and it's a save situation and Hader pitches anyways.

Everyone ecstatic to see Abreu in the 8th and not Pressly. We'd all be flipping out shlt if Pressly came in in the 9th.

I've posted something along these lines multiple times -- but he can be beloved and a great teammate and still stress the heck out of his teammates that legit want him to be successful. Both can be true. And I still contend that having a good guy be really bad is harder to deal with than a jackass that is bad that everyone wants to get sent away. This team doesn't need the added pressure of playing tight because they feel they have to be perfect to stick up for Abreu... they are professionals but it's still hard to separate and they all could see with their own eyes he was not going to get it done. I think it's a pretty massive psychological debt to carry that is now fully shed.

Dubon is an everyday player on this edition of the 2024 Houston Astros.

He's one of the most liked and respected guys in the entire league. The whole situation was tough on everyone.

it is strange though

Abreu was only with the team for a year and a half

was the clubhouse distraught when Yuli was let go after 7 seasons?

that should have made some folks upset

Yeah, Yuli. But they're both close with a lot of the guys.

Abreu was horrible at baseball during his time here but he's a really good dude.

100%. They want to win and they knew they were not at their best with him in the lineup.

Everyone in front of the Astros for the third Wild Card lost today except for Minnesota, the current WC3. If we sweep Detroit we could jump a few teams.

I get he isn't the long term answer at 1B. But we don't have a long-term answer on the team right now and there's zero question in my mind he's better than anybody else we can put over there.

And if not that he certainly playing better than Chas this year.

I'd love to see us use him like we used Marwin in '17 where he plays nearly every day at multiple positions.

Whole family going to game Sunday as Father's Day present. The last time my wife went to a game with me, Brandon Backe started.
