A combine 18 WAR lost due to injuries. Listing out all the names truly puts into perspective how ridiculous this season was.

And I thought last season was rough

It’s impressive that it took us this long to get eliminated
Love this. Agreed. We had fuckin heart this season when we should’ve been well behind first place. Excited for next year
Threw out the Space Cowboys for a month straight and somehow had the second best record at one point
Gave it a good run 🫡
Edit: I completely forgot Spencer, Ronel, and wesneski all went down a month and a half into the season 😭
Forgot Dezenzo existed! Long season, glad it’s over, hope for better health luck next year.
Trammell ran into a wall? I thought it was awkward landing after a catch?
Didn’t include that JP France was out just about all year due to the injury last season or Shawn Dubin going on/off the IL and then getting DFA’d after showing some promise
What a season
When we were riddled with injuries and still winning games, I thought we were outplaying our actual talent level. It’s awesome we took this long to actually get eliminated, I feel like this is a good base for us to build on when we’re fully healthy.
“Brendan Rodgers (Various)” made me laugh
Walter so good too.
Blessed to enjoy the season despite the struggles, as I’m always saying. We need to keep in perspective of the fact that all but 12 teams had worse seasons than us this year, and for those of us that have been fans since at least 2017, we have had an unprecedented team to watch for 8 years running, and if not for injuries, we’d have had a 100 win team yet again this year, and a likely WS favorite. We still have the vast majority of this roster till 2028.
edit: also losing the best closer in baseball, is probably a big deal XD
Fix it. It’s not just bad luck.
So overall, they are a weak and injury prone team.
We’ve been playing with house money since April
The Astros can’t depend on Alvarez. He’s generally injured. He’s worth little to a team because he hardly plays.
I guess Espada will be looking for a job. Considering the injuries they still did alright.
We should not be upset that we didn’t make it to the playoffs this year. We should be amazed we almost did.
I’m gonna be the wrench in the works here… but fuck this excuse that injures cost us the season. They didn’t… the team giving up, and not caring did.
The Astros were injured to hell all though the first half of the season as well, and despite those injuries, and with what had been the statistically the hardest schedule in baseball up to that point, by the end of June we were contending for #1 seed in the AL. This team had tenacity despite the injuries and players on the IL. The “Next Man Up” philosophy driving the team.
By comparison at the end of June the Astros had statistically *easiest* remaining schedule after the ASB… and just fucking gave up. This team just did not care after July.
Injures were a major factor… but the lack of fight in the back half of the season was the real killer.

All those dorks celebrating are gonna have a stroke when we make it back next year
Luis Guillorme also went on the IL
Jose Urquidy was non-tendered because of injury
JP France missed a lot of time and then went to AAA but would’ve been a regular starter if he were healthy
I mean I see 5-6 players that combine for 0 war in here.
And Christian Javier and JP France missed most of the season as well
The training room needs a massive overhaul. Unacceptable.
Does make you wonder about training staff, though
Cristian Javier missed most of the season as well, even though his injury was last season
And we still make the playoffs easily if Framber is even replacement level after the trade deadline.
You would think they would get Yordan a better or private conditioning coach. Other large hitters don’t seem to have a Lemon type of injury history.
Our IL would’ve had great WS odds, it’s a miracle it took this long.
Totally left out Javier and jp france which were HUGE injuries for the starting staff

Fire Cintron, fire the medical staff.
I don’t get how people are blaming Espada or Dana when this team was so clearly running at half strength the whole season
I hope I u destined WAR correctly: if it were t for injuries, we could have won 18 more games?
Any idea the average WAR lost due to injury in any given season? 18 is A LOT but what is typical to expect for WAR lost to the IL?
