Say what you want about our shitty offense, but we ain't doing shit in the playoffs with Framber and Javier pitching like they've pitched most of the season. JP France has been our best pitcher and it ain't even close.

This team is good, but cursed. Anytime an Astro gets hot, they get sick/hurt.  The ideal 2023 Astros team has taken the field maybe 20 out of 100 games.

We'll end up winning 90 games, which ain't bad, but that's it. 

Shitty luck finally caught up to old-school, hard-headed manger. 

God, I hope this post ages like room temperature milk.

Rags lost, so we're not losing any ground so far, but Mariners have their noses in our ass and a few hours away from being in the middle of the wild card race.

So fucking annoying. Their team is the hottest player on the planet,  8 beer leaguers, and a bunch of procedurally-generated pitchers and they're beating everyone.

Hopefully Tucker feels good enough to play tomorrow. Maybe we can avoid a sweep if he plays

Tucker is a top 5 player in all of MLB, team drops to dogshit when he's out. Ohtani, the 2 Atlanta guys (P/Acuna), Tucker, and perhaps 1 other.  Being in a contract year is the key to excellence.

In retrospect, was Seattle the toughest team we faced last fall? I think so. They came within a couple swings of knocking us out.  They might not have improved much since then, at least on paper, but we've for sure taken a big step back.

Seattle or Houston wins it all last year

Yes. 

Why? He's a sophomore in a slump year, give him at least another year to get better. Dude was nails in the postseason last year, and you aren't getting a better Shortstop to replace him, unless you think Grae or Dubon is somehow better.

Would you trade Pena this off season for the right return?

I would have traded him this year and every year. He’s an average major leaguer but in no way a trade deal breaker. Always available.

They can win this division.

Every year they go on a tear where they win 15 in a row and wind up in 2nd or 3rd in the division.  Usually the 15 game win streak happens in May or June, they just saved it until August this time.  Would have been nice if half our fucking roster wasn't hurt for the first half of the season.

In hindsight we should have kept Siri and traded Pena. 

We don't win the 2022 World Series with Siri on the roster and Pena in Tampa.  Maybe we have a better chance at a WS this year or next, but I'll take the bird in the hand.
