2023 Houston Astros Thread

[Hornsbay22 468]

Why does Abreu refuse to fucking walk, worst signing in history. 

[tx 3 putt 76928]

Souza looking good 

[Scraps 13561]

Well that was destroyed by Chas

[perfectchaos007 6636]

We need to get a crooked number inning 

[WBT 20564]

This MFer...the only time he'll ph before the 9th is with shitty Singleton

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Altuve. That was terrible.

[Scraps 13561]

Can we be clutch for one time this season?

[WBT 20564]

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Nice job getting on base, now let's get it done Chas!

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Yainer sucks now too

[David Dennison 18856]

This is sad.

[cabowabo 4484]

Two of the worst AB's of the season.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck

[tx 3 putt 76928]

Clutch time !

[Scraps 13561]

Altuve is our only hope and the way he has been going recently that ain't happening

[David Dennison 18856]

We let the A's and Royals derail our season.

We deserve this.

[Honeysucklerose 987]

I really can’t explain what we are seeing here.

[tx 3 putt 76928]

The fat lady is warming up …..

 

please don’t get swept tomorrow << I’ve said this wasaaaaaay too much this month 

[cabowabo 4484]

Fuck this team. 

[rvm96 1643]

Well that was not fun.

[UTexasFight 9432]

At least we burned Clarke for the rest of the series!

Go team!

[perfectchaos007 6636]

Lets hope the pattern of Houston winning the 3rd game in a series after dropping the first two holds for just one more day.....

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Rangers up 1.5

[UTexasFight 9432]

Really need mariners to avoid the sweep too 

[UTHornFan014 710]

Are we really gonna have to hope the Rangers sweep the remaining 5 against Seattle? 

[David Dennison 18856]

Losing home record secured.

It defies any real logic … other than the whole fish rotting from the top trope.

[Hornsbay22 468]

Zero situational hitting, just everyone swinging for the big home run.  Still fuck you Dusty we shouldn't be in this spot. 

[Updawg 2266]

Unbelievable

[YChang 3443]

This is a dumb dumb dumb team

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Fuck these mother fuckers.

[Jshep34 2308]

Still the greatest time to be a Astros fan. Yes they shouldn't be in this spot fighting for a playoff spot. Wish they didn't give into dusty ego and allow him to screw this up this year. Missed your all star 2b and dh for extended time. Pitching regressed.

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

Fuck everything baseball related. 

[wildcat09 29353]

Baseball sucks and I hate it.

[UTexasFight 9432]

I love the Astros propaganda dept trying to push “remain calm. All is well” with the clip during the game tonight of being 2.5 out of a wild card spot at the same point in 2004 

If only we had canned our manager halfway through the 2023 season 

[tx 3 putt 76928]

What are you going to do, with no Astro baseball in Oct ?

[We’reTexas 1473]

I had to lol

 

[tx 3 putt 76928]

#toosoon

[Slacks 6819]

How in the world can they not score runs against bad teams? 

I mean, even with a couple bad bats in the lineup, you expect runs.

Guess I can finally make it to wurstfest without planning around the games, but may be too depressed for human interaction.

What's wild about this game is that you have to be great to win 100 and truly awful to lose that many. So to have a recent 100-game winner melt down repeatedly at the hands of multiple 100-game losers is truly bizarre.

Likewise, this team's uninspired play at MMP suggests a fundamental problem that runs much deeper than a cluttered batter's eye or a less than raucous home crowd. Seldom has a worse job of managing a defending champion ever been recorded, and it deserves immediate dismissal in shame. Flush the lines. 

[Murfdogg21 4412]

But hey, at least we still have Abreu under contract for two more years! 
 

I’m bringing the kids to MMP today to hopefully see either an Astros win or wave goodbye to Dusty and Maldy.

Watch the playoffs without being a nervous wreck I guess. 

I still think we make it though.

Hubris finally catching up to this team.  The lack of urgency from leadership throughout the season is very possibly going to cost them a spot in the postseason. 
 

Resting players so they are fresh for the postseason doesn’t do much good if you miss the postseason.   It’s a great strategy when you jump out to a comfortable lead, but it’s foolhardy when you don’t.  
 

And that’s the thing that makes what is happening now so frustrating.  It absolutely did not have to be this way.
