Plural?

[TonyTexas 10785]

I couldn’t count the number of times I’ve yelled to my Little Leaguers DONT THROW IT or THROW THE DAMN BALL! That play I did both.

We are not a good baseball team right now

[Gut Wagon 8219]

I'm coming around to this idea that if there's anything we DIDN'T need to add, it was more offense. We can win games against the Pirates and their ilk without even scoring. We're the mighty Astros. Mortal teams forfeit in our presence. 

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Glad we didn’t go get a bat with this shit offense.

We'd bitch about that, too.

Singleton turning back into a sack of shit now that he knows his roster spot is safe.

She’s in the ballpark. Surprised she let Cal fly solo.

this fucking guy

Espada is such a retarded motherfucker

[HtownHorn 15231]

4 HRs coming into this series and just crushes 2 against us.

Just now, Scraps said:

Yep, he has no feel on when to change pitchers, almost always 1 batter too late.

[TonyTexas 10785]

Good job Joe. Say what you will about Dusty, he was pretty good at handling the pitching staff, especially in the playoffs.

Miller was making the calls then just like he is now.

We had to try to stretch out Brown coming off the bullpen game last night forced by the urgent need to acquire Kikuchi.

[Scraps 13811]

Yeah.  Back into.

Pham with the Slam for his new old team.

No he wasn't. There is a reason he never won a WS title until Click made it idiot proof. It also helped that the 2022 Astros staff went on a playoff run that is not likely to be duplicated anytime soon, 11-2, 2.29 era, 126 IP, 32 ER, 43 BBs, and 160 Ks.

Did he hit a homerun or bodyslam someone

[tx 3 putt 78739]

We know you love Jon Singleton stop lying

[David Dennison 19569]

'Member walk off?

I 'member.

Sigh.

[tx 3 putt 78739]

Avoid the sweep tomorrow 

[Scraps 13811]

May could win if our lineup didn't drop off a cliff after the 4 spot

[Scraps 13811]

Since we fucked around and didnt find anything out during trade deadline....Vic/Diaz have to DH/C every game. Yordan has to play LF. We need Caratinis bat. Its idiotic to have him sitting on the bench ever. Boot any of Dubon/Meyers/Chas or let them circle jerk

[Hornsbay22 485]

back to hating this team

[Guadaloopy 11139]

Some serious limp dick energy the last two nights.  

[Scraps 13811]

Oh look a ph knock from caratini

Jfc i hate this staff, record label, and crew

[David Dennison 19569]

Ball four.

remember talking spring training about  having too much pitching 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[Fondren & Main 6905]

It would’ve been cheaper to get Bauer and Osuna.  Everyone already hates us; let them hate.  Besides we’re $EC now.  Win at all cost.  😂 

[Wulaw Horn 19599]

Trade deadline pod. We didn’t love it.

Why our pitchers keep listening to this Tommy John fellow who keeps giving them surgery is beyond me.

Why won't they just come out and say "Tucker has a broken leg"?

Because he doesn’t. It’s bruised. Which is worse

Ok.

[HtownHorn 15231]

The problem I have with the trade deadline is Crane only went half-way. This team desperately needed another bat and likely two as well as a couple of pitchers. If you are willing to give up surplus value, then you better go all the way instead of half-way.

[Murfdogg21 4574]

Based on how few great bats with significant playoff experience got traded, I wonder what Bregman would’ve fetched.

Because he has the hardest thing to heal...a broken heart.

It's not a broken leg, he's never been in a cast and was on crutches only briefly after it happened.  Google bone bruises if you don't believe us.  He's not doing anything nefarious.  He's never had injury issues and was having the best season of his career.  He would play if he could.
