[Rosenthal] Why the Astros’ path to an eighth straight ALCS looks increasingly problematic.

  1. The bullpen will round into shape. Pitching will become a huge strength later in the season.

    We just need to dodge injuries to our big bats.

    Edit: hunter brown, stop throwing upper middle meat balls.

  2. It’s early in the season. If it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen. Let’s just enjoy the ride

  3. He finally writes a story about the Astros again and it’s about how we’re going to fail….I’m shocked.

    National media are just shills for LA and New York teams.

    Who cares what a guy in a bow tie and never played past being a bench warmer in little league thinks?

    No wonder the users on r/baseball love guys like this, they see a lot of themselves in this guy.

  4. It’s April 15. No one in the division is over .500. Safe to say this is the typical doomer type clickbait bullshit you get in every type of media. Internet thrives off of negativity. ‘Shocked‘ to see this in April 15

  5. One silver lining so far this season is that no ALW team is running away with the division. Hell, no team is above .500.

    If we can get our shit together and get some of our arms back, it isn’t too much of an uphill climb to get back in a division race.

  6. Hey! Only the fans are allowed to be doomers this early in the season! Get this guy out of here.

  7. This is the best it’s looked so far this season.

    Only 2.5 back, and our first of 5 injured starters is scheduled to return soon.

  8. It’s all about health. If we never get healthy, we will have a terrible season. If this is the pitching staff on June 1st this will all be a long forgotten bad memory:

    * R1 Verlander
    * R2 Valdez
    * R3 Javier
    * R4 Urquidy
    * R5 Blanco
    * LR Brown
    * LR France
    * MR some combo of Montero, Scott, Martinez, Bielak, Dubin
    * SU Abreu
    * SU Pressley
    * CL Hader

  9. It’s super early in the season and what, we are only 3 games out of first place?

    Playoff Houston is on a whole other level.

    If we were at the all star break and 30 games back. Then I would be a little concerned.

  10. Omg Ken Rosenthal fuck off. You’ve been an Astros hater forever and no matter what they do will you think differently. Your opinion is meaningless to this fan base.

  11. It’s too early to say. As much as I don’t like Bagwell as a commentator, he did put it really well.

    “Every single team in the MLB will go 4-10 at some point. It just happened to us at the beginning of the season.”

    I truly do think we will wright the ship, especially with rotation reinforcements imminent. We’ve seen what this team is capable of the past two games when we can get quality starts.

  12. Ken I mailed you a bag of dicks to your house, should be there in 3-5 business days

  13. I get overreacting and there are signs we’re reaching the end of the run, but it’s April. Baseball has 162 games. We’ve played less than the equivalent of 2 NFL games.

  14. Writer’s next article should be why the Astros are a lock for the alcs… opposite arguments can also be made this far into a season

  15. Ken is a professional Fluffer. Fluffing is always on his mind, and always thinking of the next fluff job he can perform.
