Fried up some whitetail backstrap on the back porch w the wife & son here on the lake. Astros baseball on the tv makes it soooo much better. Just wish they’d not fucking lose but it’s too early in the year to be upset about it. So good to have Astros baseball back.
The no hitter by Blanco really was an April fools joke
I miss dusty
The Astros may have lost, but I picked up pho on the way home from my daily walk, so fuck it. My day is a net positive.
This team aint a contender.
All the talent, none of the fight
Im not liking this espada experiment so far. Presley clocking a cool 20 ERA too.
[Me watching the Houston Astros bullpen blow yet another game](https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-sit-sitting-chillin-chill-gif-9875705).
Not having fun !
I would say we played well until Pressly gave up 4, but our 2 runs were off of that 1 error
Just gotta cope for this to be like last year. Awful start but catch their stride.
Very, very discouraging though. Only runs scored today off a bad error by the Rangers. And THAT is what a good hitting team looks like. Contact and carry, not needing the long ball but able to get it.
Worst case this year is a soft rebuild. The bullpen is atrocious and Abreu will weigh this lineup down like an anchor. We need a youth injection at 1B, badly
If Anthony Rendon was a baseball team – your 2024 Houston Astros
Its a real tough watch right now, but I’ll be here tomorrow
If you want to be the everyday catcher, you have to know your pitchers spike a lot of balls (Pressly and Abreu), and you have to protect with the chest. Those two wild pitches were mental mistakes by Yainer, as did not even attemp to protect and mistake went with just the mitt to the ground. Anyway, room for improvement and still an improvement over Maldonado
well, we are bad
The good news: it’s a long season.
The bad news: it’s a long season.
I’m gonna go ahead and say it…maybe Maldy was doing something behind the plate that made our relievers pitch better cause this is getting insane now. Abreu, Pressly and Hader are the ones blowing these games. Not the middle guys.
Someone in the clubhouse has got to make a PowerPoint showcasing every single insufferable Rags fan on Reddit and Instagram (looking at you Rags nation) to light a fire under their asses. But knowing that they’re getting paid millions, I think they’re perfectly contempt with the on field performance
This team right now has no character compared to the last 7 years… they need to figure that out reeeeeeal quick before things go off the rails
The funny thing is, Jim Crane wants to be Jerry Jones so bad. That he’s actually following in his footsteps.
These are exactly the same stupid roster moves Jerry Jones started making after he fired Jimmy Johnson as GM.
So…buckle up
Thank god for CJ stroud
