In the offseason, they need to clean house in the dugout and front office, and trade the few guys with trade value not named Yordan Alvarez.

Hey Matt, it’s Coach Kiffin, or Coach, not Lane. You are not on his level. Show some respect.


I’m not a fan of Moscona’s, but he’s perfectly fine calling him “Lane.” And I like Lane. But Moscona is not a member of the team so first names are good. I hate when the media calls a coach “Coach” because they’re being deferential and they shouldn’t be deferential.

Most of us call our boss by the first name so why should someone who isn’t your boss get called by a title rather than his first name.
frick Espada. He couldn’t find his balls with the Hubble telescope.

Mariners and Angels both come in Houston and win their first road series since May and both of those series could have been sweeps.

This organization is a joke right now.

Why the frick do we have Nick Allen instead of Dubon?


Dubon was making too much money. They saved more than $4.5 million this year in that trade.

Saw a stat today that Allen's offensive numbers this year are basically what Dubon's were in '24 and '25. Ten points higher slug for Dubon, 8 points higher OBP for Allen, BA roughly the same (3 points higher for Allen).

This year, Dubon is better offensively across the board, no doubt. But we weren't getting that Dubon the last 2 years. Dubon was good defensively here, but we have outfielders who can field and can't hit. Dubon has 61 RBIs this year. No one saw that coming.

And, yes, Allen stinks, but so did Dubon when he was here, at least offensively.

Anyone read the article this morning on Imai from Chandler Rome? Depressing stuff.


I didn’t. I’m tired of hearing from Imai, who Rome seems to love giving a forum.

We get it. Imai has sucked, he misses home, he misses his woobie. There’s no reason to provide a recap of Imai’s season in August when that’s been done at least monthly already.

Bro makes $18 mil a year to figure out the culture, the mounds, the routines, etc. Do it or go home.

We are getting objectively worse each year that these clowns are in charge.


Until Jeff Bagwell’s key card is revoked and a real baseball ops guy is hired, it’s likely to be more of the same.

When we’re stumping for Meyers and Loperfido to come back, you know that this shite is in a bad place as an organization.
Cool. I don’t watch that show, as it is, and now I have less reason to watch. The meathead quotient will be off the charts.
quote:

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.


Reflection of the manager. The next manager needs to be a hard arse.
shite, 24th in MLB rotation ERA is bad and it’s still is an improvement of where we were. That’s how bad he fricked up both the offseason and the trade deadline.
quote:

Will he get asked why he did that stupid shite


No, because the beat writers and TV dudes are gutless.

There's no acceptable reason to pinch-run for the best hitter in baseball this year in the eighth inning.
quote:

Wasn’t there some offseason DAT talk about bringing in Donovan? Seems like a good player.


Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Astros were interested in acquiring him. Somehow didn’t get it done, which I’m sure you’ve also heard before.
We’re gonna let these frickers back into the race. I hope the next manager is a hard arse. I’m done with the chill, laid-back managers. We’ve had 3 in a row like that.
quote:

Why Espada chose to let Abreu pitch to the lefty with two outs and two on is beyond me


It’s because Espada is a dumbass.
quote:

A RHH that wanted to bunt to get on


He telegraphed the bunt on the first pitch of the AB.

This team put it on auto pilot at 5-2. Started swinging early in the count and a catcher getting picked off second to end an inning, which is just retarded.

And start the eighth swinging at the first pitch. Altuve is the dumbest great player I’ve ever seen not named Jeff Bagwell.
frick you, Abreu and frick you, Espada.
The Abreu smoke and mirrors running out tonight.
