his arm will fall off before then

when life was better

[Gut Wagon 8,219]

If you don't have starting pitchers, it's hard to win. If you don't play good defense, it's hard to win. If you don't hit with RISP....

[tx 3 putt 78,756]

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

Stros tryna get everybody at 10.00 ERA 

[tx 3 putt 78,756]

I don’t have much confidence in kuhnil 

Bases loaded and no fucking outs

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[runthebone 8,380]

Lots of AAA pitchers on this team.

[Rockethorn1978 6,206]

This team fucking sucks dick. Good grief.

[kevwun 16,449]

If we were at an all you can eat challenge at Golden Corral, he would be my choice.

[Scraps 13,812]

If it wasn't Wrigley I would fucking cancel my trip to go see these dudes in about a week. Colossal waste of money at the moment


Instead i like self torture and will be there all 3 games

[Rip76 5,022]

Okay let’s get 5 here.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

keep France in, he'll settle down. 

[Scraps 13,812]

Angel dumbass strikes calls still piss me off even if we do suck

[Jshep34 2,426]

Watching Yanier play more makes me infuriated at dusty. I'll always be convinced he cost the Astros a w.s. title by playing maldy. Also blame falls at the feet of crane, Reggie and Bagwell for allowing dusty to screw it up

[Scraps 13,812]

Plz jack a 3 run homer

if they win one damn home game, the WS would be cake. 

[Scraps 13,812]

To my defense i thought Altuve was coming up not a AA player

[Scraps 13,812]

Kuhnel with that # change. As if thats why he sucks

[Rip76 5,022]

Holy strikes zones man.

[LCHorn 2,751]

Just checked in and saw the score.  This unfortunately isn’t fair but sports is a performance business and running out this rotation is fireable, particularly when you could have signed Snell or Montgomery and all it cost was money.

Right

but why can’t we do all 3 at once? Why do we have to do each one separately

Better than the money I’m dropping to go to Mexico City.

[Scraps 13,812]

Bagwell has CTE

His inability to throw out runners is going to be a problem though. 
almost as bad as watching my son’s 10U league

That gonna violate an unwritten rule?

[CycleTex87 3,044]

Baggy will be a great new GM. 

[Overlord 366]

Jesus, Kuhnel needs to get on his Peloton. He’s looking like he about to drop dead

Jose Abreu agrees

I don't think those decisions were made by someone who can be fired.

Nm. We got this all covered tonight 

 

[CycleTex87 3,044]

I got my rally cap on. 

[Overlord 366]

Does Kuhnel smoke in the dugout?

[Scraps 13,812]

I got my rally cap on. 

Hopefully over your eyes

[David Dennison 19,569]

I can't believe some of the players on this team are on this team.

[Rip76 5,022]

Let’s get 9.

[Overlord 366]

I didn't see the start. 

Did we wet the infield dirt enough? 

[Overlord 366]

I haven't been on thread this year till today. 

Is there any chance the Astros make the move and train Yanier to play first base?

He’s way too good of a hitter to let his body break down in catching. 

Like they did with Biggio. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

these super fat ERAs are fascinating.

And i like to think we have just an opening in that spot next year.

I just want to start with the roof open for one goddamn game 

[Scraps 13,812]

We suck so bad now Koe Wetzel is playing 3rd against us

[Rip76 5,022]

Thank you Tucker.

[tx 3 putt 78,756]

[Scraps 13,812]

Welp. Here we go. Gonna start the bean war

[Rip76 5,022]
