  1. These guys stink, and it’s embarrassing getting whooped by the yanks like this. I bet their fans are love it. Smh BOOOOO 🍅

  2. 9-4 is progress from 10-3! 8-5 incoming tomorrow! Progress my boys, progress!

  3. Yanks and Astros both had 11 hits. 6 walks by Yanks. Not one single walk today by Astros hitters. Yet we keep on with this aggressive approach and swinging at the first pitch. FFS. Fire Cintron. Dude is a fucking chump.

  4. Derek Lasagna has been called up from Sugarland to join the Astros in Detroit.

  5. there better be a players only meeting and somebody better be stepping up as a leader. That’s what this team is missing.

  6. I feel like we were tricked into thinking they had turned a corner after the Guardians series.

  7. The strategy of letting guys walk after five years and hoping 30 year old hitters never regress is working out well

  8. Remember when the boys swept the stankees in the ALCS? That was pretty cool.

  9. Embarrassing. Just embarrassing.

    Get ready for the sweep tomorrow, because it’s gonna happen.

    Also, is Yordan okay? I didn’t watch it, but I saw that he slammed his helmet down in frustration.

    **EDIT** – also, I’m seriously considering deleting my Twitter, because when I created it is when we started sucking lol. I mean, something has gotta work right?

  10. Espada ball!

    keep clappin’ things are turning around👏🏼👏🏼

  11. You know it’s an absolute shit show when Jake Meyers and Dubon’s OPS is higher than Yordan. WTF!!

  12. Just fast forward to next season already. Fire Cintron, the plate approaches are God awful. This is a JOKE

  13. This team reminds me less of the 2023 Cardinals and more of the 2022 Rangers. That Rangers team should have been a lot better than they were. The pitching kept letting them down and the offense would go through long stretches where they couldn’t score more than 2 or 3 runs.

    So, say hello to your 2025 WS Champion Houston Astros!

  14. I’m embarrassed that before the season I said I could see us winning 65 games. I like to think I’m not a homer but I guess I am because that’s not happening.

  15. Honestly… 4 runs, 11 hits, 8 LOB sounds like pretty decent offense. Something in or around our pitching staff needs to change.

  16. Rough game tonight. Felt like we had a little life late game but until we can hit more often with RISP it’s gonna be a had time. I still think an overhaul of the bullpen needs to be a top priority but our inconsistent hitting is not doing us any favors.

  17. Hope Crane is having fun cosplaying as Jerry Jones. I know I’m fucking not.

    Yordan, bruh…..you good my dude?

  18. I think it’s time to start talking about firing our pitching coach. A top 3 team in ERA over the last five year is almost dead last this year. This is beyond unacceptable with the talent they have on this roster.

  19. This season starting to remind me of 2011, i guess enjoy bregman last year here.

  20. What is there to say anymore? Team isn’t good and theres no turn around in sight.

    Espada said this was our turn around moment, and he looks like a fool now.

  21. Yankees are stacked. Rodon threw a solid game as well.

    We threw out a AAA pitcher – I didn’t expect much

  22. Smoked by the stankees 6 times in a row: Yordan this is your legacy

  23. With how god awful both pitching and hitting have been across the entire team, I’m leaning into this all being more of a coaching issue than an individual player issue. Something is just way off this season.

  24. Astros are cooked for the season. Happy to be wrong but I don’t think I will be.

  25. Oh Blanco starting tomorrow? This team putting on a masterclass in supplying false hope at the perfect times

  26. I’m officially in the phase where I’m still watching because I don’t really know what else to do that time. I guess that counts as denial? Maybe?
