My Astros takeaway from this series is that we gave Dubon away when we had nobody to replace him

No doubt. He would have immediately become our best hitting outfielder. And I’m saying that as someone that Dubon used to drive crazy.

I’m copying this from the Braves thread. They’re obviously a lot better than we are, but man this sounds familiar.

Blame the GM for going into this season thinking that chronically injured pitchers starting the season on the IL suddenly wouldn't be chronically injured... and then doing minimal work to negate the lack of starting pitching at the deadline.

I truly barely celebrate any big play in the moment. I have been trained to “wait and look for a flag”

---

I mean, just playing devil’s advocate here (and full disclosure, I get frustrated with it also) but how many of these are a) false starts and b) legit fouls?

The amount of false starts and illegal formations is insane, especially considering this is a sport being played at the highest level and yet there seem to be more of these than there are at lower levels. But…are they not supposed to call them?

As far as legit calls, one of the things you hear the average football fan say is that offensive holding could be called every play but it isn’t. You had teams (the Seahawks) admitting that they mugged receivers on every play because they knew it wouldn’t get called every time and we still see this often. When you think of it this way, we’re actually lucky it isn’t worse.

Most block in the back penalties are in fact blocks in the back, so I don’t know what officials are supposed to do differently.

I guess what I’m saying is I understand the frustration but I don’t know if it’s not the players we should be frustrated with.

As I say, I get frustrated with it too, and especially the ticky tack stuff like illegal contact and God forbid you don’t land on the quarterback the way you were supposed to.

Lol…your felon owner was suspended multiple times…

Your best manager was a drunk who had no class.

How many since the Astros joined the AL?

Oh, that’s right…none.

And I’ll reiterate….







Never forget that you clown.

Now keep crying

Melt bitch.

Like I told your boyfriend Avery last night… our run is over, but never forget you never beat us when it mattered. Home, road, close series, sweeps, you name it…Zero series wins. ZERO.

And never forget Judge choked every single time.

Maybe the Yankees will cheat well enough to win something this time.

The only thing that actually sucks right now is the fact that the offseason thread may last a year and half.

We will always have Yacht Rock to discuss.

They showed Yordan about 3 steps from the bag just coasting.

---

Obviously it’s something that has to be overlooked given his talent, but I just personally hate seeing a player not try.

Not saying he has to bust it on an obvious out but something like that he should at least make an honest effort.

I understand he’s dejected, but after he made the mature and appropriate comments (opposite the ones from Sousa) yesterday, just don’t like seeing stuff like that. Old school, I know, but that’s just me.

It’s not the first time he’s done that either.

39-44 at home once this one ends

This HAS to be addressed. Plenty of blame to go around but this team just doesn’t hit at home. And they haven’t for several years now. Different iterations of the team. Different coaches. Different managers. Same shite. I can’t explain it, but they have to address it.
