And Altuve with the warning track fly ball last out. Thought it might have a chance. 
I hate everything again.

These idiot HEB commercials piss me off even more

[Macklemore 2,947]

I hate this version of the Astros.

I haven't been this pissed at an Astros team in a long time, but I can't put this all on Brown or Espada. Hader looked to be a great signing, and most every other GM makes the same move. He's been a epic failure. I'd announce that Pressly is now the closer moving forward.

So you’re sticking with “back of the baseball card” and “all is well”. This team needs a kick in the ass.

The Ryan Pressly with the 5.27 ERA and 1.68 WHIP?

Yeah, but firing your rookie manager and GM in May won't do a thing.

Fair point, but at some point you need to send a message to Hader. Either get your shit together or we'll go a different direction. Can't just keep doing the same thing and get the same results.

8th fucking blown save of the season. 8

 

if Singelton can stay steady, he’ll be a very tradable bat

[runthebone 8,380]

What a fucker

[runthebone 8,380]

Let's just be honest and announce we don't have a closer.

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

 

[Mo Horn 8,945]

Hader has given up 10 earned runs in 15 appearances this year. He had 8 all last year.

Straight up loss. No blown save since they were tied.

Maybe he’s sad he had to come play like the last jack wagon pussy

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

Much cheaper than Hader >>> Hector Neris has six saves and a 3.45 ERA for the Cubs. 

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

[Smax 3,800]

Have the Astros changed anything with his (Hader) delivery or pitch selection, I remember reading something about that with a pitcher we acquired a few ago. Dont remember who but it was something about preferring the 4 seamer

Abreu gets a blown save though.  You can only get a save by ending the game, you can blow one any time you enter the game in a save situation.

Let Bregman walk and bring back Correa to play 3rd and begin his A-Rod era

[Planet Houston 4,955]

This team misses Strommy bad. Everyone wants to lay the blame at the feet of Espada but I don’t have a lot of confidence in Miller and Murphy. I know he wasn’t here last year either, but I think that’s been the biggest loss of the franchise recently.

I mostly blame father time

[Harrison Stafford 3,395]

We’re playing like shit.

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

Strom can give out hitting tips too ??

 

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

In his last 55 plate appearances, Jon Singleton : .292/.364/.521 with 3 homers and 8 RBIs. .764 OPS for the season.

I think we, as fans, tend to overvalue our own prospects, but I can’t imagine Toronto making that deal.  

[Beau Vine 55,901]

Bowden is gigantic moron.  There's zero chance Toronto makes that deal.

I'm pretty sure if you set Franchise mode on MLB The Show to all trades auto approved, that would still get rejected.

It's literally impossible to imagine not one but two bullpens that are apparently between 2 to 3 times as bad as ours. How the fuck are the Blue Jays and Rays that bad?

People are sleeping on the job Martinez and Scott are doing.

they’ve pitched over a quarter of our total innings out of the bullpen so far this year and have a combined ERA of 1.89.

you're only thinking of the meltdowns by Abreu/Pressly/Hader. If that’s all we had , yeah, we’d be closer to Toronto and Tampa

I haven’t looked at the numbers but Montero has been ass.

whip/era

 

he needs to keep it up, get better even. prime trade bait. playoff proven arm !

[tx 3 putt 78,848]

Everyone needs arms at the trade deadline. Not many teams can offer playoff proven arms !!!!

His actual era is just fine. The underlying peripherals are shit and would expect the era to go much higher quicker. 

[Scraps 13,814]

He was fine until the last week and a half and has went shitty

[WBT 21,039]

But still has been better than our Big 3

He was always walking too many and striking out not enough. It’s just now starting to catch up with him. 

[Scraps 13,814]

He hasnt walked anyone since he started sucking lol.

Maybe he should walk more guys

Not sure why The Athletic pays Bowden, he is terrible.  Theres zero chance the Jays would accept that deal.  Maybe if Houston threw in Hunter Brown and replaced Corona with Melton.
