The Rays rehabbing Peralta is something the Astros used to be able to do

All of the pieces that were an integral part of that have moved on

Improved

Not this good this fast, but they can’t hang with what’s coming

Still a great season and only a couple pieces away

Hell, if that was Framber or Brown, minimum 3 runs

I thought Schlittler got out of a jam

The 2 Yankee knob slobbers throwing stones in their glass house about the Red Sox defense

Not saying it does, but if the hire involves anyone presently on staff for a team in the playoffs, I could see why the wait.

Also, there ain't shite happening for a while. This has the makings of being the lockout of all lockouts.

The owners couldn't script it any better with Judge and less than half of Ohtani being out or a fraction of their "worth" in the playoffs.

Toss in a pyramid scheming owner and it will be a shitshow

Joe says he ABSOLUTELY wants to return as Astros manager

I guess his resignation is not forthcoming
Judge punishes average to below average pitching and definitely makes them better over the course of a season. Maybe even enough to justify his yearly salary when he can play, but not over the course of that stupid contract.

And he's also not shown that kind of value in the playoffs period.

Red Sox were not good defensively, but I wouldn't throw stones in that glass house if I were a Yankees fan.

Objectively considering the injuries and that this is a thin team they did a remarkable job winning the division


I’m not crediting the Astros for the failures of their divisional foes

Vegas O/U on wins was 86.5 this season. Espada accounts for the 5 game deficit by himself

As far as ownership is concerned, I’m not interested in watching slow decay. I deal with that enough on a daily basis
This offseason thread may go the way of attendance at Daikin Park
That’s a good observation

Hopefully she checks in

They could’ve jump started the rebuild this year at the trade deadline


It was the obvious move. Been discussed ad nauseam, but you don’t get to be an eternal optimist for free.

Crane left a ton of value on the table for this embarrassment. Had a Tucker haul or better for Pena and now Brown is worth what we got for Framber.

In my estimation, these 2 embarrassing losses cost Crane any shot at rebuilding around Yed. He will need to be dealt now to facilitate a competitive rebuild

But that’s OK. It takes some people longer than others to read the signs. It was Scorched Earth before, it can be done again. Probably will miss my window to see it again in person though

Hey man, we haven't won a postseason series since 2005. And we have a poverty payroll. Let us have this.


No doubt.

From Hagen Smith to rookie QABs strung together top to bottom

Well deserved

But as bad as the AL is this year, everybody aside from the Astros at their place is going to be a step up

Look forward to watching any team play actual baseball

Give them credit. Their IQ is a notch above the evangelistic, WWE crowds and select DAT posters. They didn’t show up yesterday or today. Less today it looks like.

I’ve been lectured on here for sharing my thoughts on spending money at Daikin. Maybe I’m a Renaissance Man, or more likely hanging out with Cavemen

Regardless, the organization will finally have no choice. But alas, Brown has no value now. So be it.

I hope Ace? can get through four without throwing 100 pitches. If the White Sox continue their approach from yesterday, I doubt it.


Yeah, talking about having enough optimism to put money on a team that has won in this situation once in 16 tries in 3 game playoffs, when this particular team has lost 8 home playoff games in a row.

Now let's continue with that optimism stretching Brown out through 6 innings b/c we will let him throw over 100 pitches. :lol:

Ace?'s ball-strike ratio is close to this team's winning percentage.
quote:

I actually got the Astros winning the series at +293


So they’ve lost 8 straight playoff games at home, and you put money on them to win back to back?

The ONLY chance you have is me having money on the other side

You’re welcome. LOL
