    Pressly has been really good in his last 17 appeareances. He seems to have figured some things out. The biggest problem is when he and/or Hader give up runs the Astros lose those games because the offense is unable to answer. If Kikuchi is average and Ferguson can be some semblance of the pitcher he was previous to this season, the Astros pitching is fine, the offense is a fucking abomination due to inability to draw walks, horrible team speed, and lack of productive outs. This helps explains our 9-17 record in 1-run games. Last year, we were a little better at 20-21. We'd be 4+ games up with a similar or slightly better record in one run games as last year.

    No longer tied with the White Sox for least 1-run wins.
  3. HtownHorn
    Taylor now gets to face Hader.
  4. HtownHorn
    This isn't going to end well.

    Last year, they were 4th in the AL in total walks, this year they are 13th. That is the biggest reason for the inconsistency. Altuve, Bregman, Pena, and McCormick are no where close to where they were at last year.

    This is amazing. Jake Woodford was so bad the White Sox cut him. In his 2 starts for them, he went 8.1 IP and gave up 10 ERs. Of course, he's completely baffling our hitters with their shitty approaches.

    The team MVP has now been worth -0.5 WAR since May. Since that 17 game HOF streak he went on, he's hitting .199/.260/.338/.599 over 201 ABs. Without the 17 gamer, he's at .203/.264/.359/.622 over 251 ABs with 63 Ks. It's time he gets DFA'd. For a frame of reference to just how bad team MVP has been, Maldonado as the worst regular in MLB hit .191/.258/.348/.606 last year, so yes, Meyers has been almost equal to Maldonado for much of the season.

    Once again, no Leon. Espada is just a giant piece of shit.

    The problem I have with the trade deadline is Crane only went half-way. This team desperately needed another bat and likely two as well as a couple of pitchers. If you are willing to give up surplus value, then you better go all the way instead of half-way.
  10. HtownHorn
    Ok.
  11. HtownHorn
    No he wasn't. There is a reason he never won a WS title until Click made it idiot proof. It also helped that the 2022 Astros staff went on a playoff run that is not likely to be duplicated anytime soon, 11-2, 2.29 era, 126 IP, 32 ER, 43 BBs, and 160 Ks.

    4 HRs coming into this series and just crushes 2 against us. Yep, he has no feel on when to change pitchers, almost always 1 batter too late.
  13. HtownHorn
    We don't really have a left handed bat at 1B either.
  14. HtownHorn
    2/3 sucks > 1/3 doesn't suck. It sucks even when Tucker is playing.
  15. HtownHorn
    Shocker that Leon isn't playing. Brown needs to trade those 3 shitty OFs.
  16. HtownHorn
    I hope he replaces Montero.
  17. HtownHorn
    Yet, just this season Scott, Ort, King, and Dubin. All journeymen relievers that have done well for the Astros.
  18. HtownHorn
    Just over an hour left, still need a bat.
  19. HtownHorn
    The list is long.
  20. HtownHorn
    You mean like Maton, Neris, Stanek, Scott, King, Ort, etc...

    Based on recent history of what the Astros have given up during past deadlines, and how those guys failed to perform over the long haul, I wouldn't be to sadden by today. From a standpoint of winning baseball games, the Astros are better today, from a stand point of future value where those values hardly ever actually turn out, the Astros got screwed today. He lengthens the rotation, but probably doesn't start in the playoffs. I guess that is ok for one real prospect and 2 guys that have more question marks than not. The problem still remains, this team is relying on too many shitty players to play major roles in the every day lineup and Kikuchi doesn't fix Dubon/Meyers/McCormick/Cabbage/Singleton getting way too much playing time. We have positional depth at CI and OF. Leon, Melton, Baez, Dezenzo, Whitcomb, and Bastidas still give the Astros plenty of options and those guys are equal or better prospects than Loperfido/Wagner.
  22. HtownHorn
    BBs in the 9th always score, except when the Astros get them.
  23. HtownHorn
    Of course, Tampa saw what we gave up to Kikuchi they are very interested in fleecing Crane and the HOF cabal.
  24. HtownHorn
    You guys blaming the GM are once again looking in the wrong direction. Crane and the HOF cabal run the 26 man roster. Brown is here to draft talent that the cabal can then flip for old vets because they think old vets are better than younger players with little MLB experience.

    Explains the Cam Akers signing.
