Jeff Bagwell will save us.

[hornmpa96 2671]

Unfortunately Jeff Bagwell’s ability as a GM looks a lot like his ability to hit in the playoffs.

[texashorne 1195]

The only positive I can find lately is that Abreu has had so many AB's that when he goes 0-4 it doesn't really drop his average that much.

Accurate.  They have 27 games left until the All-Star break and if they don’t go at least 16-11 over that stretch then they will likely be so far out of contention that they will be stupid not to sell.

We are a stupid organization now, so I fully expect them to hold and tell us how the back of the baseball card shows that we will turn it around.

We need to finish 59-34 to hit 90 wins

Just want to point out the absurdity of this whole situation where our official team account is pimping the backup 1B for the All-Star Game.

Lulz. One that is hitting .213 with an OPS of .649

[texashorne 1195]

Anyone willing to run the Astros record with and without Abreu this season?

If I read Baseball Reference correctly, the Astros are 19-19 when Abreu doesn’t start. 12-19 when Abreu is in the starting lineup.

We were 15-10 from 4/30-5/26 when he was in Florida.  Quick math tells me that would make us 12 games under .500 when he's on the roster.

[Scraps 13812]

Yeah that deadline is Oct 3rd 2025 when we miss next seasons playoffs and his contract runs out

[tx 3 putt 78759]

Huge off day news ….

Great. Now he'll probably start advising Crane on roster moves too. 

[Macklemore 2945]

Dana Brown is a clown.

Edited June 14 by Macklemore

[Frank Drebin 5840]

Crane needs to go hat in hand to Luhnow, apologize publicly, make him a massive guaranteed contract, and turn over all baseball decisions to him.

We were a smart org under Luhnow.  Now we are a dumb org.

[dr99 566]

Dana Brown is talking about adding players, what a dumbass.

Appears to be:

 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Abreu hit the wall, so it had to be done. Just sucks that we waited until the season was fully in the shitter to cut him 

[IDIOTsavant 8690]

[Guadaloopy 11139]

It’s real and it’s spectacular.  

[cabowabo 4692]

[Chuckie Finster 23099]

It had to be done, but I do feel bad for Jose.  Unlike most big free agency busts, his effort was never in question.  Dude just didn't have it anymore.

“We can’t get to where we want to go without Jose Abreu”

On top of that, he seems like a really good dude based on his interactions with several fans. Hate to see it, but Father Time is undefeated.

Finally! Thank you!!!

Holy shit they actually did it

Jokes on you!

social media account manager knew before most of the rest of the organization 

[Scraps 13812]

Time to get fucked up tonight. I dont even care if Skubal perfect games us today now

[Mez2 4048]

Maybe we perfect game them!

[tx 3 putt 78759]

My cousin is at IaH and just saw Pete Alonso !!!!

[UTexasFight 9819]

And let’s get this out of the way.

Yuli is slashing .256/.345/.380 for the Gwinnett Stripers 

[dr99 566]

Hopefully they go on another run like the last time they got rid of Albatross Abreu.

Matt Cain, 12 years ago yesterday. 

[UTHornFan014 755]

I feel like a weight has been lifted. The sense of relief I feel knowing I won't have to watch Abreu's broke ass swing anymore is palpable. 

[UTexasFight 9819]

Man I’d love to know the convos between crane and bagwell the past week
