[Macklemore 2,873]

We’re not a serious franchise anymore with this first base play.

[WBT 20,649]

If Montero keeps this up, Crane will be ready to give him an extension

[Rip76 4,946]

Just trash.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Cmon Neris. Do us a solid for old times

[David Dennison 18,941]

We deserve this.

[UTexasFight 9,518]

We just finding ways to fuck up the little things every single night and all too often it involves baserunning.

 

If Pena stays on first in the 4th, we’d have had bases loaded with 1 out and who knows how that inning plays out 

Edit: stop merging me!

 

Neris has been shitty.

 

let’s  get ours 

 

Edit: seriously. stop merging me!

There is one

We'd leave three on?

[Limp Brisket 546]

Lol

[WBT 20,649]

Tuve!!

Cheater!!!!111!11!

I took a little break after the Meyers strikeout...why the fuck did he put Abreu in at 1st?  Leave Meyers in center and put Dubon at 1st.  This shit isn't that hard.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

neris goes 3.86 to 5.14 in one swing .  Still, better than many on the Stros.

This is miserable 

[WBT 20,649]

hey, another 1 run loss

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

shoulda kept Neris stupid management. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Waste of time

[perfectchaos007 6,677]

 0-7 now in one run games

[Rockethorn1978 6,102]

Only if we could just score some runs.

[Guadaloopy 10,996]

Well, shit.  

[Gut Wagon 8,086]

This team can make even the Cubs look like winners.

awesome! we still fucking lost 

[UTexasFight 9,518]

Mexico City:

F Manfred… sending us the 2nd worst teams in the NL….AND AL.

[Gut Wagon 8,086]

In the second inning I told a Cubs buddy not to be fooled by our good team batting average. The real proof of how bad we are would be in our batting with RISP. I assume he now gets my drift. 

[tx 3 putt 77,270]

1 play here

1 pitch here

1 base here

2 hit there …..

[Rip76 4,946]

Get Luhnow back.

Seriously.

[tx 3 putt 77,270]

Getting rid of click was the huge mistake 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Where is Jobu?

[runthebone 8,027]

Maybe we should keep losing so we can fire Espada and Brown and have a shot at Wemby.

[tx 3 putt 77,270]

White Sox will finish in dead last 

[UTexasFight 9,518]

2 outs, RISP (Before tonight):

team BA: .236

BAbip: .313

 

getting tired of this.

i keep waiting for the 180 and us to reel off about 10 straight wins, but instead we just keep finding more ridiculous ways to lose.

[Snake Diggity 4,627]

Astros win loss record by pitcher:

Blanco, Javier, JV: 5-0

Arrighetti, Brown, France, Henley: 0-10

Hader, Pressly, Abreu: 1-4

Suero, Scott, Martinez: 1-4

[Snake Diggity 4,627]

Hader, Pressly, and Brown having an 0-7 record at this point in the season would not have been something anybody would’ve predicted a month ago; flip that around to something more expected like 4-3 and the Astros are 11-14 and nobody is panicking.  
 

Everything else pretty much makes sense.  Nobody should’ve expected Arrighetti, Henley, Suero, or Scott to pitch well enough to win games.  Hell, 6 months ago nobody would’ve even expected any of those guys to have thrown a pitch for Houston this early in the season.

The Astros season got completely derailed by pitching injuries.  That might be something to blame on the front office, but I don’t see how any organization absorbs constantly having 5 of their best 7 SP on the IL for the first month of the season.  They really needed a lot more out of Hunter Brown and France, 2 guys who were relatively established compared to their other healthy options.  And then Brown’s bedshitting got compounded by Hader and Pressly running into horrendous luck.

[TejasPedro 1,858]

The old, It’s all going to fix itself line of horseshit isn’t going to work. 
There were problems going back to last spring, yes they got in the playoffs but anyone paying attention saw this coming. 
Crane needs to rethink his decisions or just sell the team. Crane, you made money and you will get a hell of a  return on your investment, now either reengage or GTFO! Houston deserves a better owner. Please don’t take us back to the McLane era where the Astros were the farm system for the rest of the League. Our young guys sat waiting wasting away in the minors when aging “media favorites” clogged the pipeline.  
Crane, Brown you took Houston’s sunshine!

Our offense has been a massive problem. If it could score 5-7 consistently and not 0-3 we would at the least be .500 right now. Pitching and bullpen and scoring being all shit at the same time is the biggest problem. We just plain suck dick. But to say our offense hasn’t been an issue makes me ask how many games you’ve actually watched this year? How many games do we have 1-2 hits through 5 innings? Pitching doesn’t matter if you can’t score and put pressure on the other pitching staff.

I've watched most or part of just about every game this season.  I've also looked at the stats.  My point wasn't that the offense has been great or that the team has zero offensive issues; my point was that if you are looking for why our record is so bad it has mostly to do with pitching.  And, further, that the pitching has been so bad mostly due to two factors:  injuries and guys who are supposed to be really good, not being really good.  In other words, the pitching stuff should correct in the long run and if that happens we can win a lot of games even if the offense stays basically the same.

[Wulaw Horn 19,145]

That Caratini 8th inning AB was the bad luck of the entire season all rolled into 1. How many times does a LHH hit a LD that hard and that high and it turn into an out?  1-10?  1-20?  Instead of a tied game more LOBsters. This team is cursed.
