Feels like the Kikuchi trade may have been another momentum shifter like getting rid of Abreu


He's not even here yet.


Joey has been gone

It's felt in the clubhouse

They knew their luck was going to run out so they better not push it.

The rookie who had a cup of coffee? If that's all it takes to derail this team we're in big trouble.

I wonder if the trade activity/inactivity has messed with the psyche of the players?

They have been mega-sloppy last night and today.

One team looks like they are motivated and recharged by how their front office made moves to get better. The other does not.


Sometimes I wish I had the laughing/crying face to use.

What was the asking price? Think I missed it

They wanted Melton and Matthews along with at least 1 other player.

Hmmm…. Yeah a bit high given his production this year. If it was 2023 Yandy Diaz then yeah you take that

Matthews and another prospect I'd do. But not melton and Matthews

You guys have driven me to the point where I'm now rooting for Kikuchi insanely hard, and I haven't ever wanted him to pitch for the Astros.

Hell, given what we gave the Blue Jays yesterday....they were probably somewhat surprised that we didn't go for it.

Me too. Man's about to finish with a sub-3 ERA as an Astro while they end with 84 wins and in second place anyway.

Maaan when this team sucks it goes all in on playing like crap. There's no in between with these guys.

Well , getting fleeced once is better than twice.

Only thing I got is maybe the Astros see something that makes them think they can fix Kikuchi. Long shot I know.

Believe me, I am not rooting against the guy. I hope he makes me eat my words and will gladly eat crow if he does. I just don't see the value prop of three prospects, two of which were good enough to be with the major league team already, for 2-3 months from a guy that is far from a sure thing right now. If I turn out to be wrong, I will be happy.

If you make three errors in a game, you really don't deserve to win.

This is quite literally the most un-enjoyable Astros team to watch since 2014, all things considered. Second place on that list is last year's for several long stretches, so I guess that's as good an indicator of the window's slide into overness as any.

They're not going anywhere this year.

This team loves to have big letdowns after major highs. Breggy walk off already feels long gone

I have seen this several times. The reality is they actually weren't good enough. They were only on the MLB team because of injury and poor performance from Chas.

Bloss barely has pitched at the MLB level. Joey was essentially Chas before he was traded.

Neither of them would have been on the MLB team if it weren't for injury and Chas being underwhelming.

And they become even more frustrating when they go and swing at the 1st pitch!! Like Jfc make their pitchers work. But noooooo we always make nobody's look like Cy-Young pitchers.
