For people seeking hope and optimism…
For people looking to pour fuel on the fire and deepen the pessimism:
The Astros Are Rapidly Digging Their Hole Deeper and Deeper from Fangraphs
FWIW I don’t blame anyone for feeling either hopeful or doom and gloom. In fact, I wish I was more of an optimist
Pretty damn hard not to feel like everything is complete shite and will continue to be complete shite, but a tiny part of me says until this core of players has a season that they don’t make the playoffs then I shouldn’t count them out.

Last season we went:
• ?7-9 to start the season
• ?3-7 from Apr 28-May 8
• ?7-14 from Jun 4-27
• ?4-8 from Aug 13-25
• ?9-14 from Sept 1-26
We still won the division. Record looks bad now because we started the season with it, but this team has the capability of going on a run.

At the rate the Astros are playing, they’re basically toast in five more weeks.
There it is. Set your watches to 5 weeks.

I feel that way about the lineup. The pitching is totally dependent on the health of all the banged up starters. You replace a couple bullpen arms with surplus starters and the pitching all of a sudden doesn't look so bad, at least on paper. Hader/Pressly struggles are a whole different story.
The question becomes does the hole they're digging right now get so deep that it's too late for any of that to matter.
