Wonder if he could have scored on that slow grounder Witt threw to 1st

[cabowabo 4,692]

Great AB Jake. 

[David Dennison 19,566]

Solid AB.

[oh_snap 694]

I’m having a david aldridge moment hearing wander suero’s name

[Scraps 13,809]

We are gonna lose another game we had no business losing arent we

[WBT 20,994]

Damn Jake what are you swinging at?

All up to the new guy.  And his name is Wander.

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

This is a team full of absolute pansies.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,117]

Now we look like we scored 10 last night.

[runthebone 8,380]

Good, competitive AB

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

Willie Wilson on the bases

[TejasPedro 1,918]

Jake Meyers, please learn how to hit.

You know recent history says we can't beat a team as bad as KC. 

[thetruth 149]

Who the fuck is this guy?

[David Dennison 19,566]

Good job, everyone.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,117]

Lulz, my new second least? favorite Wander.  It's close.

[tx 3 putt 78,730]

If you have to pinch hit for your 1B, he probably shouldn’t be your 1B.

[runthebone 8,380]

This team is fucking annoying.

[Rip76 5,022]

Junk 

[Honeysucklerose 1,006]

I hate Espada. I hate this team.

fifm

[Macklemore 2,945]

What a complete shit show of a performance by our manager. Offense absent for most of the game. Sucks.

[Scraps 13,809]

Perez seems to kill us. Don't let him kill us

He killed us

[Dennis Taylor 19,372]

Well fuck

[Pablo 500]

turned it off right when myers whiffed, new what was coming.

gross

[Dutchrudder 11,246]

Why didn't Hader pitch the 10th?  Is every reliever completely incapable of pitching more than 1 inning?  

[UTHornFan014 755]

Can we just have Abreu fake a career ending injury and DFA Singleton? 

I can't get over the decision to pinch hit Singleton for Dubon... which then left us with Meyers batting with the game on the line in the 10th (and looking completely lost doing it)

definitely a page from Dusty's book

[Mitch Hedberg 2,117]

Espada is in over his head and he reeks of Dusty. Our GM is a useless, powerless yes man. I see nothing that gives me reason to believe either one of them know how to fix 1B or our shitty bench.

because these world class athletes will get injured man.  I mean in the 80s guys went 200+ innings with no issues, now the water and global warming etc has changed human biology. 

[runthebone 8,380]

Espada is managing like it's a home game, which is fucking idiotic.  Abreu can fuck off.

[David Dennison 19,566]

4-8 and lookin' good!

Anyone know where I can get Espada's jacket?

 

Nm, looks like it's this one.  I'll probably pass at $175.

QT as the Royals sleeve patch is funny.  Bucee's should try to get in on that shit.

Man you throw that buck tooth beaver logo on a jersey sleeve and you’d rake in enough cash to blow by Dodger-levels of spending

This X 1000. The Astros are what the Texans used to be. Astros have a general manager that is reactive, content to run out substandard players in positions we knew were weak, failing to churn the roster or make any moves with a 1B who is hitting 2-33 to start the season, topped off with David Culley/Lovie Smith quality coaching. Espada and Dana are crashing this team’s present and future into the mountain with the course set by Bagwell and Jerry Jones Crane. Every major decision made after winning the title in 2022 has been an unmitigated disaster. This is how dynasties die.

Ouch. A scathing indictment. And 100% accurate.

i miss Neris x Infinity

He has a 7.36 ERA.

(And before you say you miss Maton, he has a 10.13 ERA)

[David Dennison 19,566]

Lolz at thinking we know anything about this team on April 9.

Ask Musgrove 

[David Dennison 19,566]

Can we do anything about reactive fans?

[perfectchaos007 6,780]

Our run diff. is 0 so despite being 4-8 we are playing like a .500 team

[Scraps 13,809]

Very nice

Wake up, smell the coffee and open your eyes. This team is not the same one we fell in love with the past 7 years. It still has quality pieces but has been wrecked by the last 2 managers, current GM and ownership. This team will be lucky to win 85 games.

it's the club, Neris fit here much better and the numbers would be great.
