  1. Disgusting slumps:

    Taylor Ward:
    14 for his last 86 which is good for .160/.258/.333

    Logan O’Hoppe:
    6 for his last 58 which is good for .105/.150/.273

    Jorge Soler:
    5 for his last 46 which is good for .109/.180/.289

  2. I will never understand why the home team in extras doesn’t lead off with a sac bunt. You just need one to extend the thing. Don’t be dumb. Small ball works

  3. god im still fucking heated about that d’arnaud strikeout when the ball is like 1000000000 inches away from the strikezone at 3-2

  4. Astros needed every bounce to stay in this game. The bapance of power has shifted.

  5. Love ward watching the only strike in the ab go by him, then proceeds to swing at the next 2 balls to strike out. Man he has high highs and low lows.

  6. Idk why people act like the guy on 2nd is a guarantee with this team because I’ve seen them strand the bases loaded with less than 2 outs lmao let alone just a guy at second.

    Would’ve been nice to steal that one but maybe tomorrow night

  7. Another good Kikuchi start wasted, Christian Moore’s first career home run also wasted. Just a disappointing game.

  8. Pitching was good but offense was just horrendous, only 2 runs from homers

  9. Well

    Hard to win when you load the bases three times and don’t score.

    This team seriously needs to go through some situational hitting drills or something. 11 left on base is absolutely horrendous. Need to capitalize.

  10. Astros still own us. Hopefully the team doesn’t let one close loss spiral into a sweep, here’s looking at you Baltimore series

  11. Is that 5 runs in 2 games? All 5 runs by solo shots? Someone please wake this team up

  12. Got 1 more loss scheduled for tomorrow, then possibly they can eek out a win in the series finale when they realize they’re comfortably below .500

  13. Hey guys look at the Astros bullpen ERAs. Hader is 1.67, Bennett Sousa the guy who just shut us down is at 1.69 after being 8 and 4 the previous two years, Abreu is at 1.97 despite consistently zero control, Bryan King who shut down our other best rally is at 2.70, they’ve managed to get 2.60 so far from a very old and inconsistent Steven Okert, and the clown who almost blew the game for them in the 6th Shawn Dubin is at 1.35.

    Meanwhile our lowest-ERA reliever who has thrown at least ~20 innings so far is BROCK BURKE at 4.30!!!!!!!!!

    I teach sabermetrics, I know ERA is not a good stat. But Jesus Christ, one of these orgs has some semblance of pitching development and one of them doesn’t. And the Astros FO is DECLINING!!!

  14. By no means am I an expert but the majority of the Angels at bats are extremely awful
