Honest question. Do yall trust this organization to rebuild? Is Dana Brown the guy and if so, can he do it without Crane/Bagwell meddling?

Yes, I trust Dana Brown to make intelligent decisions in scouting and drafting. I do not trust Bagwell/Crane to stay the course. Crane's corporate money is going to dry up as well when the Texans reclaim the #1 spot on the Houston sports mantle, because Hannah unfucked everything. It's been a complete 180 for Cal McNair in the court of public opinion in the last 2 years, while at the same time, Crane has gone from humble owner to #2 villian, though he will never catch Tilman.

Dana Brown is good at his job.  Possibly even very good.  He just doesn't have the power he should.  I am still holding out hope that it changes.  

The narrative around her that Brown sucks is completely silly.  Same with Click even though I was not as high on him overall.  

Some of y'all expect Brown to commit career suicide and say Crane is meddling.  Literally no GM would do that in the MLB.  It would be completely stupid. Dana know the other teams around the league know what's going on, so what's the point?

[Dutchrudder 11,159]

Dana is going to be very disillusioned once he realizes his job was to build up the farm, only so Crane and Bagwell can use it to trade for 3 month rentals...

What choice do we have? 

[Scraps 13,598]

Obviously didn't hit him cause he didn't even react

[David Dennison 19,117]

Sigh.

[Scraps 13,598]

Lmao what a disaster dumbasses

[Scraps 13,598]

Thank god

[David Dennison 19,117]

Juggernaut.

[UTexasFight 9,603]

We haven’t lost our DH thanks to Scraps shrewd GM moves a week or so ago calling for Salazar to be called up!

[Scraps 13,598]

Caratini broken leg confirmed dead

[HtownHorn 14,916]

Lulz, Caratini sliding when he's out by 10', and then ends up hurting his leg. Only the Astros could be this lucky.

Maldy taught him better than that

[HtownHorn 14,916]

Jake Meyers fucking sucks. Laughing at wulow buying that hot month.

This team has no idea what a strike is.

Lulz, Caratini about to get Wally Pipp'd

Edited June 20 by WBT

[Scraps 13,598]

Of course we give up a homer to one of the worst fucks in the league. Please do Mashitty next!

[HtownHorn 14,916]

Crochet's ball must be moving 1-2' because we are consistently swinging at balls that end up 1' inside.

[Scraps 13,598]

For fucks sake Don'tbon

[tx 3 putt 77,921]

Nice play 

[Scraps 13,598]

Timely double play

I would really like that pick.  One of the best ceiling college players that will be available where Houston will pick.

[tx 3 putt 77,921]

Great start

Salazar can bunt too. He's a keeper.

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

So we have 18 hits in 16 innings this series...and 3 runs scored. That should be much harder to do than these guys make it appear.

Edit: Now 4 runs in 17 innings. I clearly spoke too soon! 

Edited June 20 by Gut Wagon

[WBT 20,735]

hey, someone on our team that y'all can call for to bunt in extras

[Scraps 13,598]

Did Salazar just become my favorite Astros player after tonight?

[WBT 20,735]

Manufactured a leadoff double into an insurance run.  Who are these guys?

absolutely, he was 0 was his last 12. I am sure with this breakout he will go back on another epic run like the past 10 games.

Save situation....whats that?

[WBT 20,735]

What you gonna do brother when Julkamania runs wild over you?

[runthebone 8,131]

Having to pinch hit for a guy you are paying 5/$75M is embarrassing.

 

I mean, not like cutting a 3/$58M guy, but...

Just to be sure, let's bring the tying run up to the plate

[runthebone 8,131]

Thanks, Korey Lee

that guy has fallen off the cliff. glad we avoided him

[WBT 20,735]

Good win to beat Crochet.  I was afraid he'd shut us down and we'd lose the series

Hunter Brown is the lefty killer. Two of the best in the AL he has taken out in back to back starts.

[HtownHorn 14,916]

Hunter Brown update

Last 6 GS, 3-1, 37 IP, 25 H, 7 ER, 8 BBs, 41 Ks.

He had a streak of 16 consecutive scoreless innings broken tonight. If the radar guns are to be believed was routinely hitting 97-99 through the 1st 3 innings.

[tx 3 putt 77,921]

Astros have to get a discount by now 

[tx 3 putt 77,921]

 

[Scraps 13,598]

I sure hope Yordan is back today

Interesting day to stand on this one as he has 2 doubles but sure. He has more outs above average than any player in MLb and a 700 plus ops. Dfa candidate imo.
