Took two balls to start that AB that were called strikes looking. 

[Scraps 13821]

Both these teams suck

[tx 3 putt 78966]

Fuck me 

[cabowabo 4693]

God damn we suck

[Rip76 5024]

Fucking clowns

Just load the bases.

[UTexasFight 9839]

We better get 2 or 3 this inning

Guessing Seth gets the bottom of the 10th?

[Rip76 5024]

Please let that spark some kind of “give a shit.”

[UTexasFight 9839]

I seriously walked to my garage after the 9th. Came immediately back in and commercials were still on. I fully expected to be in the top of the 10th when the game came back on.

Holy. Crap.

[tx 3 putt 78966]

Interesting concept, advancing the free runner 

[Rip76 5024]

Wow

[Scraps 13821]

Walk him dumbass

[Guadaloopy 11162]

And the M’s move the runner on the first pitch.  That’s why they’re in first and the Astros continue to suck shit through a straw.

Went to make a drink, came back and  wanted to ask what happened. Glad I missed it. 

[David Dennison 19585]

We do what bad teams do a lot.

[Guadaloopy 11162]

Fuck fuck fuck

[UTexasFight 9839]

This team is such a beating this year.

it was last year too and we managed to win the division.

idk how I’m going to make it another 4 months 

Edited May 30 by UTexasFight

[tx 3 putt 78966]

Try not to get swept tomorrow 

[Honeysucklerose 1008]

This team is such a beating this year.

And no one in that organization cares. Not one of them

[tx 3 putt 78966]

On the plus side, Jose Abreu will be fresh tomorrow 

[Rip76 5024]

This.  Or not as much as we do.

Pressly too!

[UTHornFan014 755]

The lack of urgency from anyone in the organization (players, coaches, and front office all included) has me thinking we are heading back to the dark ages of Astros baseball

[UTexasFight 9839]

6 games in this road trip

we've scored in one inning in each game 

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

Just hurry up and get to September. For the next 90 days I’m just going to prepare for football. This is over.

I'd be fine with a split.

[UTexasFight 9839]

1-5 to the mariners with a -8 run differential (with 3 losses by 1 run and another by 2).

That’s going to sting come September

On the bright side, it probably won't even matter by July.

It goes back to our last game against the Angels, so that makes 7 games.

Fuck this fucking team.  Seattle probably thinks it's good, but the Astros just fucking suck.

[ChickenSandwich 10003]

Fire the manager tonight. Can’t fire the players. At least it would be doing something 

Edited May 30 by ChickenSandwich

[Rip76 5024]

Verlander balled out too.

[David Dennison 19585]

Logan Gilbert tomorrow.

Well that's just great.

Him, Scott, Kyle and Peña only true ballers on this team. Maybe throw in a little Jake in there.  Everyone else has their head up their asses.

Astros have gotten three quality starts this series, and the bullpen has surrendered only two earned runs. They are 0-3.

And send Bagwell on a “scouting mission” to The Dominican Republic until the end of the season.  

[Snake Diggity 4770]

6.5 games back in the division and Seattle has a good farm; the Mariners are going to get a lot better at the deadline.  This series was devastating for momentum and Houston’s odds of making the playoffs.

[Scraps 13821]

Lol Astros are still going to win the division

[Macklemore 2947]

Dump Dana and flush Espada down the toilet. 

[cabowabo 4693]

Looks like the !ets are gonna cut Jorge Lopez after his recent blowup.  I think he would make a fine addition to our bullpen and shitty team. Love his emotion. Lol.

Well, before anything happens he is going to need a new glove.

Shit is fucked when Scott Servais is smarter than anyone in the Astros' dugout.

We have been a sub .500 team over the last 162. Something went seriously wrong sometime in September last season. The Rangers collapse at the end of the regular season and our drawing a middling Twins teams in the ALDS masked it. But the truth is, this team was very close to missing the playoffs last season, and, so far, this season has just been a continuation of that. The worst part, imo, is that there doesn't seem to be any real hope it will improve near term. There is no reason to believe this team is a player or two away from competing, so buying doesn't make any sense, not that we have much in the farm to trade. And I have no faith in the FO (and realistically it's Baggy, Reggie, and Crane anyway) to navigate a rebuild, so trading Bregs, JV, or Framber would probably just result in us getting fleeced. The real kicker is I live too far from the stadium to enjoy what inevitably will be cheap tickets and nearly empty sections of the stadium. That was at least one bonus of the 2012-era team.

He can have Abreus, he doesn’t use it

I guess it could be that simple. Maybe they just hit a wall late last season and haven't been able to recover, but, to go from trouncing the Rangers in that early September 2023 series to what we've seen since, makes me wonder is there isn't something fundamentally wrong in the clubhouse. 

[n64ra 1150]

This team makes me sick.
