WHY, CRUEL GODS, WHY????
This team (especially the bullpen) is terrible.
I am starting to lose hope
Remember when we thought we were going to have an elite back end of our bullpen?
When it rains it pours.
Much needed off day coming up.
Just stay off reddit for a while folks. It’s not worth it to read some of this shit. Lol
I was a defender last year but DFA Abreu NOW.
Trainwreck of a season, not sure why I’m still watching.
I really don’t know what to say anymore
There’s nothing left to say about our “shutdown bullpen” guys. Abreu is past done. He needs to retire or be cut
We can’t hold a lead to save our lives
Eighth bullpen loss of the season.
Is it time to entertain the idea that Pressly might be throwing games out of spite since he lost the closer job? ^^^^/s
Abreu’s ops is lower than the BATTING AVERAGES of the entire starting lineup today besides bregman
José Abreu is a fucking loser
Never once thought we would win that game. Kept watching because I was curious how it would be blown this time.
The season is over. Jim Crane, Jeff Bagwell and Dana Brown have successfully killed the dynasty in record time.
This is actually one of the worst teams in baseball, by any calculation. It’s not just a bad start anymore. I’ve said it before but we really really remind me of the 2013 Texans. Lots of fans on Reddit too young to remember that team but if you do, you’ll see it.
The good news is, well there really isn’t any good news about this team right now. They are just flat out terrible. Pitching was a known issue and how do we fix it? By signing one closer for 95 million.
This team can only lose games in the most hilarious ways possible. They’re like a reverse Savannah Bananas.
My favorite Astros stat this season: Jose Abreu’s batting average is only one point higher than his jersey number.
Pressly & Abreu both need to be sent to China.
God this is so frustrating. We’ve had three years to adjust to the Manfred runner, and every other team has successfully done it. Where the hell are the coaches in all of this?
The FO has gotten complacent, and let the success get to their heads.
**EDIT** – I also told myself “I would have Tucker steal here to avoid the double play”
How come a random bum on the couch can see this shit coming, but not the managers and coaches getting paid millions?
We were forced to get rid of the best GM in the league, but then by chance, as if the stars were aligned–we lucked into another GM that’s almost as good. But then we got rid of him *on purpose*.
Gotta let Abreu go after this man

Did MLB take away bunting? I understand not bunting Yordan, Tucker, or Diaz…But Pena? One out , runners on the corners?
6th series of the year. We’ve been swept in 3 of them.

0-3 when these 3 have pitched the 7th, 8th, 9th.
We have 2 wins in a row and all comments in the post game are “doomers in shambles”, just straight up ignoring that we are a bad team at the moment. Its a long season but if we go 60% win for the rest of the season, we would end up with 91 wins, which might not even be enough to make the post season.
I saw people talking about being traders at the deadline and honestly we should trade some pieces.
If we want any success in the future, we need to rebuild this farm
To everyone blaming Pena, he’s batting over .300 and has had good at bats all season. The loss is entirely on Pressly and the dogshit backend of our bullpen
Regardless, to me the season is cooked. Starting pitching can improve all it wants, teams know all they have to do is keep it close until they knock the starter out and the game’s over anyway, not one of our three ‘premier’ closers have the clutch in them anymore
Hitting is frustrating but it’s baseball. You get a hit every 3 times out of 10, you’re a hall of famer. What is unacceptable is how many RISP you leave.
If you were here for the good times, why not stay for the bad times
