I think we should petition to MLB that all future playoff games should be played on the road. We pucker up so bad offensively at MMP.
It's not new either. I recall the playoff games in the Astrodome in the late '90's where they couldn't hit a lick either.

Yep. 100% trade Tucker this off season and load up on talent , he is walking regardless

This one hurts the most
Was McCullers a Click deal?
Yes.
I like the fight we showed to win the division, but I am just not impressed with Espada overall. Not sure he's it.
Wish we could trade managers with the Tigers.

Possibly one of the dumbest decisions I've seen in a long time.SeanDaAg2005 said:

Get some young talent and build from there. Window is still open.

Espada brain fart
To give Detroit a good look at our closer.

Pretty clear that our money needs to go to Breggy. Trade Tucker for some young talent that we desperately need. Wouldn't mind seeing someone new at SS unless we can fill a lineup where Pena bats 8 or 9. And obviously we gotta address the 1B issue that we've had for a while now.
We should get the regular season help from Tucker we need and then deal him at the deadline so he can go 6-for-47 or whatever it is for someone else in the playoffs.
I hope you're wrong but strongly suspect you're right.Bioish said:

Hader pitching yesterday had nothing to do with Pressley sucking or Ibanez hitting a double.
The manager of the Tigers almost cost them the game by bringing in a 22 year old rookie to pitch.Ag12thman said:

Espada is not the one grounding into inning ending double plays.
Some of y'all amaze me.
yes, the LMj extension is the big, big negative on Click's tenure / resumemaca1028 said:maca1028 said:Frok said:

Dude, window has closed. Too many holes to fill. You don't win championships with Caratini, Dubon, Jake, and Chaz.
We're entering a decade of mediocre baseball

Tucker needs to be gone. Most unclutch player in the entire organization. Innings 1-5, he's an all star. From the sixth inning on he's terrible. Game/season on the line and he folds. Get rid of him.
Could have brought Hader in to pitch the last 5 or 6 outs.iBrad said:

I'd give more of that credit to Lunhow, but I get the symmetry.

Then fire Cintron.
Compounded by going to Press in the 8th with the meat of the order and 3/4 LHH. That's the first they should have seen of Hader.Wabs said:Possibly one of the dumbest decisions I've seen in a long time.SeanDaAg2005 said:

and no major league corner infielders on the roster
Hader just out there on the struggle bus
Gig 'Em and God Bless
Re-sign Breggy, trade Tucker for all you can get? Idk man it feels like it's all slipping away
Trading Tucker would be monumentally dumb. The AL West is still the Astro's to lose next year. He's one of the top players in the league. You aren't going to get an equivalent player for him.

I wouldn't trade a second of it if that's the case. A lot of fanbases never get the experience the run we've had.

Sorry. In the playoffs, you try like hell to win every game, especially in a 3-game series. You don't hold back your "best" reliever to hopefully get more out of him in game two.
Should have told the MLB to pound sand in the first place, if the scandal is bad enough to fire then he shouldn't have been let back in the league. A one year suspension is such a joke.Bioish said:

You can say what you want about making it to ALCS game 7 last year but let's be honest… this was back to back very flawed teams.
90-72
88-73
We got a very favorable ALDS matchup last year and then lost an ALCS we should have won. This year we had to scratch and claw our way to winning the clearly worst division in baseball.
Something changed after the 2022 World Series and I don't know what it is.

That was the most fun Astros decade of all time. No one can take away the memories made since 2015. I'll never trade the success for whatever AAAA players we roll out there next year.

I'd trade him in a heartbeat.
I've been an Astros fan before they were the Astros. I've got to witness amazing runs and 2 WS championships. Can't complain; although, very disappointed in this season.
almost like going to Hader yesterday was a mistake... I hope someone actually asks Joe.

How much return could we get for Tucker with one year of control? Sign Bregman and get more talented youth into the organization
Should have traded Bregman after 2022 for a boatload of prospects. Now we won't get anything for him and he's not worth the money it will take to get him. Signing him long term cements our trajectory on 2005-2010. No thanks.
Do you believe in miracles???
It is closing quicky but is still open. Pitching staff is still pretty damn elite and we get some key pieces back next season to take kuchi mans place.75AG said:

I agree you don't win championships with the players listed above. Its time to make some off season moves and make one or two more runs.
