Those first two strikes were perfect pitches. Brutal

Fitting end to that piece of ****

This offense is offensive

Well that was a pathetic bottom 9. Woof

JFC

I hate baseball.

Embarrasing

Just when we thought the offense might have figured it out and Heandog pitches a gem.

Third shutout at home. Ouch!

Go Stars go Mavs

Perfect example of why W's and L's arent a good measure for pitchers usually. Absolutely gave one away there
I dont know if this is the answer….. but Seager seems like 10 days off might help.

He doesn't look hurt though. He's swinging like normal and fielding like normal. He just looks like *****

Really need to win tomorrow. A losing home stand would be really bad. Just guessing how Bochy will handle the day game, we are probably going to have to do it with Knizner and Wendzel in the lineup.

We basically have an offense without Jung or Seager, our 2 biggest sluggers, and it's clear as day

I don't think we have the same drive to win like last year. They seem content to just f around.

YOU GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME.

I watched the highlights because I've been busy with other things and I'm watching our stars / mavs playoff games on my dvr, but good god man I am so glad I missed this giant steamy stanky nasty putrid disgusting pathetic excuse for a baseball game.

How the hell do you blow 2 bases loaded and nobody out situations at home when all the fans are rooting for you?

Have we caught the Astros home hitting infection? I just can't believe that **** actually happened.

Shoot me now

My brother lives in Little Rock and his cable service (Xfiniti) jusy dropped Bally Sports. Any tips for how to watch the Rangers and Stars out of market?

Overreacting much to an early May loss? This was the performance I really wanted to see from Heaney.

BTW - I'll be there today. Nothing quite like day drinking.

We've been shut out 3 times at home in less than a month. Almost no hit a few times. Unacceptable.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

It is, and Grape is definitely one of the more passionate fans here, but I think there are some pretty concerning offensive stats and trends going on with this team.

I don't really want to address the Jung and Seager debacle. We all know how important they are to this lineup, and one of them will be out till the end of may and the other is in another universe at the moment. The only thing I question here now is, how good is Seager going to be when he gets fully healthy or completely resets his game? I think last year was the peak of what Seager can be (statistically the best season he's ever had), so expecting him to return to that level isn't the most likely thing imo. Can we at least get him back to a .275/.850 OPS guy, which is still below his career averages, but would be an absolute boon to this team right now? His expected numbers look solid, which is a good sign, but they are still far form elite or his career averages.

My biggest concern is that we are starting two rookies. I get it that they are getting good experience which will hopefully result in good production by the end of the year, but it can take a big chunk of time (even a whole season) for rookies to figure it out. There's no way around it at the moment, they are hurting us at the plate. Langford more recently than Carter.

On top of that we are getting a pretty concerning season from Heim at the plate as well. His Baseball Savant page is a walking red flag at the moment. I am talking shocking. I don't even want to discuss Taveras. So overall that is 5/9 guys in your lineup that you are getting almost nothing from at the moment. How we are above .500 is beyond tbh.

There is no need to panic until after the ASG.

We are closer to be 1st in the AL... than Ouston is to us.

I'm not panicking. I just want to point out that I think there are some real issues that need to be rectified or considered. We can't just keep chalking some of this up to a "slow start" and what not. The starters are approaching the mid-100's in AB's, and May is a huge month in determining who you and where you are headed.

The good news is that I trust CY, the front office and Bochy to either figure it out or get guys in here who can help figure it out.

It's actually encouraging to see we are still above .500 with all the injuries and lack of offensive production from key players. This time last year I think we had 3 more wins but that was with a hot start and hot offense. This offense is too talented to stay this bad for the rest of the year.
