Get back in the dugout you dumb fuck. 

[David Dennison 18,944]

Never in doubt.

[WBT 20,652]

[Smax 3,800]

jfc why is everything so damn difficult with this team

[WBT 20,652]

Good win

Do it again tomorrow 

[Overlord 366]

Hader will be back. He’ll be just fine. 

 

Abreu? Not so much

We are playing a first baseman essentially everyday who is hitting about .240 for the season. 

Oh my mistake, that's not his average IT IS HIS MOTHERFUCKING GOD DAMN OPS.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

on pace to 54-108 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

I’m so sick of watching Abreu look like a feeble old man and Singleton stand around with that sour ass look on his face. I want them both gone. There were hardly even any smiles after the game. It’s just a dead dugout. Doesn’t look fun. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Lol…Blum called Dubon the personal centerfielder. 

[Scraps 13,570]

Jose Abreu is the worst free agent signing in Houston Astros history

[tx 3 putt 77,328]

Even when we signed abreu, i wish we would have kept yuli instead. Now even more so

What's even the competition?

A lot of people here sure did cuss Keith Law for calling it though...complete with saying his bat speed was way down 2nd half of 22.

[Hornsbay22 470]

Good win boys

Off the top of my head...

Carlos Lee - wasn't terrible but not worth the money on bad teams

Drabek/Swindell - neither lived up to the hype

Kaz Matsui

Jim Clancy - pretty bad as a Nolan "replacement".  Probably my 2nd place finisher.

Part of it is that McMullen and Drayton were so cheap and Crane won't give out long deals but I think Abreu is far and away the worst signing we've made.  We let Springer, Correa, Bregman?, and Tucker? walk for the fear of a few years of dead money after several more good years and then hand out a contract that is dead money from the start.

1.5 back of OAK, 4 back in the division.

Edited April 20 by WBT

[Scraps 13,570]

I hated Carlos Lee but I am pretty sure he would be a better option today at 1st base

[Mez2 4,025]

I would be a better option at 1B today

That's how bad abreu sucks

[tx 3 putt 77,328]
