It’s no fun to root for this team at all. They don’t do anything well but do a lot of things wrong. It’s absolutely disgusting to play this poorly against so many bad teams. If Crane doesn’t clean house after the season from the GM to the manager to some of the dragasses on this team, than just sell it, because he completely got away from what was working.

Lefty can’t get the lefty out righty can’t get the righty and you give up another run after you started the inning with two quick out.

It’s every freaking game

Impressive defense from the Angels so far. Doesn’t look like they’ll give the Astros this one like they did last series in Anaheim.

The term "horseshite" is thrown around a lot, but tonight this team is absolute horseshite.

It’s incredible how badly they play at home, especially the hitting. Their whole plate approach is absolute dogshit.

They’ve looked like garbage ever since the Rangers sweep.

Throw firm in the zone and these guys will go after it early either getting beat with a weak pop up or like the last two well hit balls right at some.

There has been some decent output games, but it feels like it’s been an absolute dreadful month of offensive baseball

Looking at Pena particularly. Average has dropped almost 40 points and OPS almost 100 points since August 2.

Then there’s Yed’s power outage. He has one HR in the last 17 games. I realize he’s still hitting the ball well in general, but we’re missing his bombs.

I got downvoted away for saying we should have punt on this season and refill our farm system.

This mother fricker is literally throwing two pitches, has 15 whiffs and is going to Maddux.

Just so classic Espada Astros. Get an opportunity with a soft part of the schedule and come out of an off day the flattest you could possibly be.

There’s no way there’s ever been a team in first place this late in the season worse than this shite…

Really, really, really hate burning Blubaugh down in this game.

This feels like it should be Ulloa’s runway, especially with a guy making his MLB debut tomorrow. I get trying to keep it close because they are such a bad team but feels like a waste of a leverage arm you could easily use later in the series

Reflection of the manager. The next manager needs to be a hard arse.

They have no idea how to put pressure on a pitcher. That Walker AB was a prime example

Oh to add to the hitting suckage, Trammell has now entered the chat this past week. 1 hit and 10K in his last 5 games. Granted the one hit was a big one against the Giants.
