Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

[David Dennison 17,797]

Thanks, Minute Maid.

[Scraps 13,485]

What a disastrous last 10 mins

[David Dennison 17,797]

The A's just scare you to death.

[elfenix 34,109]

Thought we had suffered our traditional late season series loss to the A's back at the end of July

[David Dennison 17,797]

Relax. Caleb Ferguson is on it.

[UTHornFan014 707]

Espada definitely likes to play with fire. I had texted my friends after the last inning ended and said I'd pull Brown. Seemed pretty obvious he didn't have his best stuff/control tonight.

[Gut Wagon 8,037]

Has an Astros reliever retired three straight guys lately? And by lately I mean since the Ford administration.

Espada is really bad at managing a pitching staff. Amongst other things. 

[BlackCat 393]

Did Singleton just bat flip a pop out?

[Iceman 2,587]

Bat flip for the warning track.

The A's hustle more than we do.

These dudes have their own Ferguson and own Alvarez is really messing with me 

[UTexasFight 9,298]

Oh dammit. 
pH for the guy that’s 2-3 tomight

 

espada has absolutely zero game management feel

Glad to be wrong!!!

[David Dennison 17,797]

This better work, Joe.

So, am I to assume it is another oblique issue?

Almost certainly.

Yeah. It obviously happens at some point in most games, but it doesn't seem like it when there are 2-out hits to score critical runs in tight games. Maybe it's no more than other teams, but feels like our BP is having to pitch around a lot more traffic than they did for several years there. 

[Storm the Field 5,255]

Down by a run. Got Jake, Dubon, and Heyward coming up. Ugh.

And M's just took a 3 run lead.

Fuuuuuck

 

Hopefully not like Muncy’s….

if so, there goes the dream of having everyone healthy in time for the postseason 

[David Dennison 17,797]

Please don't get swept.

[UTexasFight 9,298]

6.5 back of Cleveland.

barring a sweep the last series of the season gotta think the 2 seed is out of reach 

[Storm the Field 5,255]

At least we didn't tie it up just to lose in extras.

15-26 now in games decided by 1 run. No clutch.

[David Dennison 17,797]

Meh team is meh.

[YChang 3,394]

Oy, this year’s team is hard to like

[runthebone 7,894]

At least it's football season.

Fuck

[David Dennison 17,797]

4-6 L 10 including two teams with losing records.

[Rip76 4,881]

Mariners up 3-0

An exceedingly mediocre team by the standard of the past 7 years whose only saving grace has been playing in the weakest division in baseball. 

Poorly constructed roster beset by injuries. Terrible record in close games and extra innings. Just not a very exciting product.

How will we replace -0.6 WAR in the meantime??!??!

[Muny_Tex 285]

Only thing that made that Singleton 'fly-out flip' tolerable was the hope that it brought a smile to Luis Valbuena somewhere in heaven.

There’s zero reason to be obtuse about injuries especially after you lied for 3 months about one

The Mariners have given me hope. They fired their manager and got back into the race. Maybe Crane will remove his head from his ass and clean house just so we can maintain a very slim lead.

Alright we are playing like shit, and that had to be the lowest attended game of the year.  

How the hell did Espada not ITB Booker with the left on deck?
