sign machete (on the cheap) as the #3 catcher !!!

[Rockethorn1978 6,059]

I’m so glad we didn’t pursue a bat. We definitely don’t need it when we lose so many games 1-0 and 3-1. How often do we lose 12-11, but we bitch about pitching way more and I’ve never understood it. We needs bats. Our offense blows ass and is inconsistent af.

[David Dennison 17,804]

What's crazy is we have one of the better offenses in the AL.

Yea that’s crazy considering we explode for runs then can’t score for weeks consistently yet it averages out as a “better offense”. We definitely aren’t explosive and come playoff time we will get shut down a lot and hope pitching can keep it close and pray we have one inning we score a crooked number. 

[Gale Snoats 242]

Gonna go crazy watching pena chase those sliders over and over and over again. Jesus

Blocked

[Gourmand 7,761]

Whitcomb continues to rake, went 4-for-5 with another HR and 4 RBI today at Dell Diamond. 

 

 

 

DO IT DANA. Call him up and play him at first base.

They’d have to cut A Diaz to bring up Shay or Zach, right? 
do it

Yes. The least difficult cut in the history of MLb I would call that.

When was Yordan's last homer? Feels like it's been a month.

[Hornsbay22 452]

Let's roll with AAA guys that are producing no reason to just keep throwing Chas, Meyers, singleton, dubon out there and hoping something comes up.    Big miss at the trade deadline now we are have to try and find lightning in a bottle.

July 21st. I bet he hits one on this upcoming road trip. Might be the only run the Astros score in that game.

[wildcat09 28,563]

It’s so cool and good that whatever voodoo was fucking up all our bats at home last year still haunts Yordan.

Seattle has added 3 players since June and they have a 172, 160, and 120 OPS+ currently. Their only current regular that is close is Cal Raleigh at 114.

[Guadaloopy 10,803]

So I see the August swoon has arrived in a season where we can't afford an August swoon.

[tx 3 putt 75,575]

 

[HtownHorn 14,344]

I would like to see Melton, Matthews, and Dezenzo next year in Houston. If we shit the bed on this upcoming road trip, I would like to see them in Houston in September.

Great pic ….

 

[Jshep34 2,297]

Would love to have seen thier career numbers playing at mmp thier whole career. Especially if Cammy had stayed healthy but what we loved about him was how hard he played the game. Dude was 110% all the time. Glad to see him get recognize this year

Biggio just got DFA. I’m not going anywhere near Astros fans X accounts.

Pena. Of course not ideal. Might try Bregman there as well or move him down

No...no...no...no

[Hornsbay22 452]

Bregman finally does something......bases empty.    I can't ever be happy.

The way things are going, that might be our only run.

[Rip76 4,883]

Is there a constant high pitched noise in this broadcast?

[Scraps 13,490]

Dubon is a fucking pud

[David Dennison 17,804]

McCormick, Dubon, Leon

Yikes.

[David Dennison 17,804]

And here we go.

[billfromlaketravis 11,291]

If Chas can’t throw out the runner at third on a sharply hit single from LF, he has business being in the show. 

Edited August 6 by billfromlaketravis

[David Dennison 17,804]

Good lord. 

He needs to be DFA'd.

That shit is awful.

[Scraps 13,490]

Lmao that throw was awesome

[YChang 3,394]

Sigh…

[Honeysucklerose 955]

Send Chas out of here

[HtownHorn 14,344]

Lulz. It's time to move on from both of these guys that can't throw worth a shit.

[David Dennison 17,804]

That can't happen in the majors. That is completely unacceptable.
