Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

[David Dennison 18856]

Thanks, Minute Maid.

[Scraps 13561]

What a disastrous last 10 mins

[David Dennison 18856]

The A's just scare you to death.

[elfenix 34240]

Thought we had suffered our traditional late season series loss to the A's back at the end of July

[David Dennison 18856]

Relax. Caleb Ferguson is on it.

[UTHornFan014 710]

Espada definitely likes to play with fire. I had texted my friends after the last inning ended and said I'd pull Brown. Seemed pretty obvious he didn't have his best stuff/control tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8069]

Has an Astros reliever retired three straight guys lately? And by lately I mean since the Ford administration.

Espada is really bad at managing a pitching staff. Amongst other things. 

[BlackCat 435]

Did Singleton just bat flip a pop out?

[Iceman 2710]

Bat flip for the warning track.

The A's hustle more than we do.

These dudes have their own Ferguson and own Alvarez is really messing with me 

[UTexasFight 9435]

Oh dammit. 
pH for the guy that’s 2-3 tomight

 

espada has absolutely zero game management feel 

Edited September 12 by UTexasFight
Glad to be wrong!!!

[David Dennison 18856]

This better work, Joe.

So, am I to assume it is another oblique issue?

Almost certainly.

Yeah. It obviously happens at some point in most games, but it doesn't seem like it when there are 2-out hits to score critical runs in tight games. Maybe it's no more than other teams, but feels like our BP is having to pitch around a lot more traffic than they did for several years there. 

[Storm the Field 5294]

Down by a run. Got Jake, Dubon, and Heyward coming up. Ugh.

And M's just took a 3 run lead.

Fuuuuuck

 

Hopefully not like Muncy’s….

if so, there goes the dream of having everyone healthy in time for the postseason 

[David Dennison 18856]

Please don't get swept.

[UTexasFight 9435]

6.5 back of Cleveland.

barring a sweep the last series of the season gotta think the 2 seed is out of reach 

[Storm the Field 5294]

At least we didn't tie it up just to lose in extras.

15-26 now in games decided by 1 run. No clutch.

[David Dennison 18856]

Meh team is meh.

[YChang 3444]

Oy, this year’s team is hard to like

[runthebone 7982]

At least it's football season.

Fuck

[David Dennison 18856]

4-6 L 10 including two teams with losing records.

[Rip76 4927]

Mariners up 3-0

An exceedingly mediocre team by the standard of the past 7 years whose only saving grace has been playing in the weakest division in baseball. 

Poorly constructed roster beset by injuries. Terrible record in close games and extra innings. Just not a very exciting product.

How will we replace -0.6 WAR in the meantime??!??!

[Muny_Tex 293]

Only thing that made that Singleton 'fly-out flip' tolerable was the hope that it brought a smile to Luis Valbuena somewhere in heaven.

There’s zero reason to be obtuse about injuries especially after you lied for 3 months about one

[TejasPedro 1858]

The Mariners have given me hope. They fired their manager and got back into the race. Maybe Crane will remove his head from his ass and clean house just so we can maintain a very slim lead.

Alright we are playing like shit, and that had to be the lowest attended game of the year.  

How the hell did Espada not ITB Booker with the left on deck?
