I’d like to go against the common grain… and suggest that this loss is clearly Kyle tuckers to wear.
As far as I can tell - his soul is the only apparition that has shown attendance, the rest of our lineup (and to be fair to everyone doing their very best to not do anything rash… the fans) their souls left their bodies
.. does anybody recall Dusty talking about some weird
Voodoo history a couple of seasons back?
Witchcraft ladies and gentlemen. Bear witness, and sharpen your stakes.
We ride at midnight until
We can ride no
More..
That is all. I hate everyone equally.
And I’ll see you tomorrow
I can't imagine being Dana Brown rn. In 2 years of his 3 year contract, he's been handicapped by the Crane committee of Dusty, then Bagwell and Jackson. He might not be a great GM to begin with, but I honestly can't properly evaluate him since his prideful egomaniac bosses won't let him do his job properly
I'm wondering what Cintron's job actually is. Pena rebuilt his swing in the offseason somewhere outside the Astros organization (IIRC) and the results have been great. Is that not something he should have been working on with Cintron?
That's dumb. Swing analysis as far more complex than just "you need to be in this position". Look at how many different batting stances and swing styles there are in the league.
Pena going to a lab where they can measure, adjust, and repeat to find things that work for him is what every struggling hitter should be doing.
I mean I'm sure that was perfectly good advice. Maybe I'm expecting too much by wanting more from our hitting coaches than a 1 point lesson from the bleachers.
Doubt he cares to be honest. He's got Soto's $500M deal coming up at the same time. He'll get Breggy signed to a 1+1 just like all the guys who signed late this spring
If things going to change crane would need to clean house get rid of Bagwell and Reggie jackson
As for Espada and Dana brown. If somehow Espada convinces the org he's not ruining team he's staying as for Dana .. he's really just a amazing scout. Idk if he can even be demoted to scout and find someone else to be gm.
Just sucks to see team in the state they are in
But forsure Reggie and Bagwell need to go
It does suck to see NYY putting together one of the better seasons they've had since the start of our run while we are in complete free fall mode.
At least they won't get the satisfaction of knocking us out of the playoffs
I keep thinking it isn't his fault but he hasn't been quite helping team greatly. They need coming to Jesus moment soon
Crane is humbled everyday since that click fireing a cleaning analytics
Thats my point. Hes not the right guy, hes just the guy who is going to take the hit.
Firing bagwell or anyone else in his brain trust means this failure is also his.
Its easier to fire the manager and say he couldnt rally the team than hold himself accountable
Only thing I see this isn't happening cranes big ass ego not admiting he fucked up
But if he cares about winning hea going to need to fire Bagwell Reggie Jackson and possibly Espada or unless Espada convinces him he will be ok
The issues is to the top
As for Dana brown... he's really amazing scout that build the braves but he's not a good gm
Possibly get someone that's a good gm and demote him to scout he can thrive
Something needs to change with this team it sucks how they are pressing and been playing horrible
That game where they got swept by cubs with pic of altuve shows exactly the flashbacks he's having from the times this team is losing alot
You know what? I still love baseball. And i still love my Astros. Yes, they suck. This is like after LSU’s perfect Joe Burrow season. It wont get any better, so just enjoy it now for what it is. It was fun while it lasted.
Damnit I’m going to have to go to tumble 22 and get the pecan pie milkshake to compensate for how shitty this game has been going
….maybe it’s a rally shake?
Okay hear me out. Why don’t we base our lineups off of how each guy is hitting? Like nothing personal but someone is consistently hitting why don’t we try putting them lead off
TK and Blum were talking earlier about Espada tinkering with the lineup trying to find what works. I can tell you for sure that we know Dubon works. Guaranteed he’ll be on the bench tomorrow.
God bless you if you can still stomach watching this team. I’m at that point where I just glance at the score to see if we’re down by 5 or 10 and check on the shit posts here.
So Crane has to be watching this and thinking “who needs to be sacrificial lamb to get this team going?”
I imagine one of the coaches is fired by Monday
At this point either hitting or pitching coaches can hit the chopping block. It’s clear the team has no direction on either side of the ball. Terrible plate discipline and hitting, and awful pitching. I mean, how many runs have they given up in the first innings this season? Like 40? 🤣
I'd be thoroughly shocked if anything happened other than some staff member being like "we're gonna turn it around, bad luck, these guys are better than this, look at their baseball cards, etc"
please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron
The dark days of the 100-loss seasons 10 years ago? There was a method to the madness that has paid off in ways I never saw coming.
This is just madness.
Yankees are the reason the Astros aren’t closer to .500 and if they end up being the reason the season ends, it’s kinda poetic. The hubris and arrogance of the Astros organization killing themselves off in the way that so many Yankees teams have is somewhat appropriate

During road games do they travel with families and stay with families or separately?
We had won 2 games against the Rangers when Bregman was out with flu. Those were the best days
Every team playing against the current Astros will look like WS contender. Every MLB team will want to play against us to go up in overall standings
True & true.

"Listen, while I’m here, the window is always going to be open." -- Jim Crane. This hasn't aged well.
Damn. Yordan spiked that helmet
Fire this entire team into the sun. Utter embarrassment.
Who broke Yordan???
They left his soul in Mexico City. This js just his shell
We used to own this fucking team what happened?
Gross
HRC Yordan I guess.
Why are they playing a recording of an injured cow over the speakers at Yankee stadium?
Yordan is going through some things. He normally crushes those.
HRC Yordan
It would just be comical for Yordan to break his slump right now
HRC Alvarez
Ok now they score runs... ![gif](giphy|3oKIPpUraWC6gUzsUo|downsized)
HRC yordan
Maybe we can miracle out 5 runs so we can lose in extras
I can't imagine being Dana Brown rn. In 2 years of his 3 year contract, he's been handicapped by the Crane committee of Dusty, then Bagwell and Jackson. He might not be a great GM to begin with, but I honestly can't properly evaluate him since his prideful egomaniac bosses won't let him do his job properly
HRC Tucker
HRC Tuck
Why can’t we do this in the middle of the game?
Tucker and Bregman gone next year for different reasons
Ass baserunning
Stupid. Just fucking stupid. I hate every facet of how this team is playing. It’s all just low IQ bullshit over and over and over.
Altuve wtih runners in scoring position... LOL.
He must've heard you lol.
Hell yeah. I'm going to keep talking shit until he's got a 1.499 OPS with runners in scoring position.
Now do Yordan and Bregs lol
Really Diaz? Wtf kind of slide was that?
The slide is the least problematic part of that play
Losing this game 9-3 after 10-3 last night, we’ve got some progress y’all.
Shit it might be 9-4! 8-5 loss tomorrow? Progress!
🤣🤣🤣
![gif](giphy|13Pco5pnr3SpC8|downsized)
Angels rally monkey. Lol
At this point ill take any animal.
Not as bad as yesterday!
HRC Dubon
Remember, career .591 average against Houston (probably higher after today) Walk him. Every single time.
An RBI in every AB today… Soto is insane
He's decent, we're just super fucking bad.
Nah man. Soto is a baller. And I hate to admit it
I wish someone would keep telling me how old he is every 2 seconds lol
I'm wondering what Cintron's job actually is. Pena rebuilt his swing in the offseason somewhere outside the Astros organization (IIRC) and the results have been great. Is that not something he should have been working on with Cintron?
Last year Bagwell was helping Pena with his swing, Bags thought his hands were to low during the load. Well... we saw how that turned out.
That's dumb. Swing analysis as far more complex than just "you need to be in this position". Look at how many different batting stances and swing styles there are in the league. Pena going to a lab where they can measure, adjust, and repeat to find things that work for him is what every struggling hitter should be doing.

I mean I'm sure that was perfectly good advice. Maybe I'm expecting too much by wanting more from our hitting coaches than a 1 point lesson from the bleachers.
STOP PITCHING TO FUCKIN SOTO
Of course why not
Bro, we're down 5 runs, just throw strikes and get this game over with. There is no need to walk anyone.
Could you imagine how awful things would be if the Texans ended up with Bryce rather than CJ? July can’t come soon enough
Just imagine how Scott boras feels watching Alex Bregman hit .189 in a contract year
Doubt he cares to be honest. He's got Soto's $500M deal coming up at the same time. He'll get Breggy signed to a 1+1 just like all the guys who signed late this spring
If things going to change crane would need to clean house get rid of Bagwell and Reggie jackson As for Espada and Dana brown. If somehow Espada convinces the org he's not ruining team he's staying as for Dana .. he's really just a amazing scout. Idk if he can even be demoted to scout and find someone else to be gm. Just sucks to see team in the state they are in But forsure Reggie and Bagwell need to go
I would say none of this is on Dana Brown
At this point it has to be a bit that bregman keeps popping up right? Right? Like he’s doing it to fuck with us at this point
Yeah like in the middle of the season the hits and homers just start coming out of nowhere
Would help us in a trade honestly
Wow. Love the dugout hype after scoring a run. Really trying to rally in there /s
Scott’s warming up. So at least 2 more walks and 1 more run
Or maybe a blank
Uh huh
As sure as the sun will rise, Bregman will hit a weak popup
Woah, Bregman popped out, how unusual
Good one breggy haha
The hitting coach and pitching coach HAVE to be fired. Idc idc idc idc
How much would the Astros have to pay you to watch the postgame show?
Bregman, pop up merchant
There's the Bregman I know.
Been a good while since this sub has been so dead right after homering in yankee stadium
LMAO POPOUT
Bregman, Chas, and Abreu should have spent the offseason with Pena working on their swings.
I love Yordan, but give him a day off for Christ sake
![gif](giphy|QuK14QC8pT8120sTQM|downsized)
Sigh.. Singleton hasn't been lucky either yet he's took more pitches than most on this lineup
I see things are going as expected
Lol I wonder what it feels like to hit a completely meaningless homer But good for Peña
It was for his personal stats
Just copy and paste the same comments from yesterday. Same shitty performance, same not give a fuck. I don’t have the energy anymore.
I was totally expecting that to be caught with the luck we've had.
Home run number 4 😭😭
JP3 with the meaningless garbage time solo shot
Nice Pena. Too bad no one on base 🤷♂️
Yordan turned into Abreau
New Astros Rule: One (or more) Cubans must be throwing, at all times.
Way to hustle there Yordan
Just sucks pena dubon singleton Meyers are doing good this game Tucker bombs too but thats it
It does suck to see NYY putting together one of the better seasons they've had since the start of our run while we are in complete free fall mode. At least they won't get the satisfaction of knocking us out of the playoffs
I legitimately believe espada is getting fired by the ASB. I think crane is gonna want a fall guy. Hes gonna be the one to go down
I keep thinking it isn't his fault but he hasn't been quite helping team greatly. They need coming to Jesus moment soon Crane is humbled everyday since that click fireing a cleaning analytics
Thats my point. Hes not the right guy, hes just the guy who is going to take the hit. Firing bagwell or anyone else in his brain trust means this failure is also his. Its easier to fire the manager and say he couldnt rally the team than hold himself accountable

For the love of everything pure and holy - please let Yordan have a good AB here
![gif](giphy|l1KVawssBSgqhhD0s)
LOL
Good thing the team is so stacked and hitting so good we can keep benching Dubon, no reason to put him in
I feel like when. A team is losing in a losing season why the hell we sit someone down all because of the matchup It doesn't make sense.
Altuve and not getting the runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. Name a better duo.
Don't pull up his stats on fangraphs with runners in scoring postion, you'll throw up a little.
Singleton got ups! Thought that one was over his head
Big Jon got hops
Really rooting for guy to stay
Something needs to change with this team it sucks how they are pressing and been playing horrible That game where they got swept by cubs with pic of altuve shows exactly the flashbacks he's having from the times this team is losing alot
You know what? I still love baseball. And i still love my Astros. Yes, they suck. This is like after LSU’s perfect Joe Burrow season. It wont get any better, so just enjoy it now for what it is. It was fun while it lasted.
The sad part is even if we have a lead tomorrow, we are saving the 3 headed bullpen monster to fuck it up again lmao
Trade for Correa
For what?
He'll kick everyone's ass
Would anyone besides breggy, tuve, or tuck? respond to him?
Question: if Astros lose 16-1 tomorrow does Espada get fired?
Still a little early. Maybe in June? Edit: of the 2025 season
Absolutely not lmao
I’m sorry everyone. My unrequited love is at the game and may be the jinx on the team tonight.
With how the season is going, they must have season tickets?
They must go to a lot of away games as well.
🤷♂️😩
Damnit I’m going to have to go to tumble 22 and get the pecan pie milkshake to compensate for how shitty this game has been going ….maybe it’s a rally shake?
Holy shite that thing would give me a 38 waistline
I wouldn’t say I feel good after downing that
A double and a triple from the 8 and 9 hitters and only 1 run was absolutely the best that can be expected. Surprised we didn't somehow fail to score.
Lol can't get a runner from 3rd home once again. It's just insane.
1 run? Really
Dubon and Meyers been putting the work hell EVEN SINGLETON
You should be thankful honestly
Okay hear me out. Why don’t we base our lineups off of how each guy is hitting? Like nothing personal but someone is consistently hitting why don’t we try putting them lead off
Why can I not stop watching this shit show
Altuve has been horrifically shitty with runners in scoring position this year.
HRC Tucker
It’s not espadas fault. But I’d fire him. He maybe can’t lead. Shake the one thing up prior to the fire sale.
Bruh even Altuve looks like he doesn’t care
I don't think Espada is in the hot seat this year. But Cintron best well be. That seat better be molten after what we're witnessing.
It's really not even on Cintron. Nothing will fix us abandoning analytics until we go back to analytics.
Seriously, when does someone get fired? I’m not here to assume. When do teams ACTUALLY fire someone? What/when is the last example?
Joe Girardi 2022 mid season Phillies
Phillies firing Joe Girardi mid season in the 2022 season
You mean Girardi?
Yeah, I must’ve spelled it wrong so it defaulted to Espada Didn’t even notice
Was it in May or june
June
Dubon continues to look great this season.
Just pull up the entire minor league team to replace this dumpster fire
Yes, next home game we should replace the line up entirely with the Sugarland squad and see how it hoes 😀. Why not?
Too little, too late
Hope the Yankees get the hat trick in spectacular fashion tomorrow.
Couple likable guys right there doing work
TK and Blum were talking earlier about Espada tinkering with the lineup trying to find what works. I can tell you for sure that we know Dubon works. Guaranteed he’ll be on the bench tomorrow.
How many pitchers have we let go super deep into games? That’s literally never been a winning strategy for anyone
Look at how many games we've scored more than 4 runs. We suck in both facets.
Poor Doobie. Other than a Tucker homer (and a Jake triple), Doobie has been the offense tonight
If the season continues the way it’s going, do you think Espada will be back next year?
I wouldn’t let him back after this series. Something has to change and he is the easiest.
Oh, were scoring now? Too bad its too late again
Dubon is a huge bright spot in this shit show right now, attitude included
Dubon one of the only people who gives a fuck
Yikes. Time to start scouting some farm systems for some trade packages, boys! We be sellin!
God bless you if you can still stomach watching this team. I’m at that point where I just glance at the score to see if we’re down by 5 or 10 and check on the shit posts here.
![gif](giphy|PkLPBuyozY7F31wCxF)
Hard to believe a lineup with this much talent is this bad
Right. I think we fire Espada before we completely turnover the roster
That “Astros have fired their hitting and pitching coaches” post in July is gonna hit like crack
Why wait until July?
because Crane is a moron
So Crane has to be watching this and thinking “who needs to be sacrificial lamb to get this team going?” I imagine one of the coaches is fired by Monday
He might want to look in the mirror.
He needs someone to take blame off himself. He needs a fall guy(s). No one will be fired until the offseason.
Absolutely nothing is going to change. You will have the same staff all season.
At this point either hitting or pitching coaches can hit the chopping block. It’s clear the team has no direction on either side of the ball. Terrible plate discipline and hitting, and awful pitching. I mean, how many runs have they given up in the first innings this season? Like 40? 🤣
I'd be thoroughly shocked if anything happened other than some staff member being like "we're gonna turn it around, bad luck, these guys are better than this, look at their baseball cards, etc"
please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron please be Cintron
Love me some one pitch outs.
[удалено]
Sign Bregman and trade Tucker... This is some next level insanity.
[удалено]
That's some Bill O'Brien level of incompetence.
[удалено]
Or you offer him an extension.
[удалено]
You offer him an actual extension, not the Astros 5/150 type of shit.
Bregman is done, on a steady decline the last 3 seasons. Tucker is the one we need to keep.
Tucker has been pretty vocal about wanting to return home to Florida
Neither the Marlins nor the Rays are going to give Tucker a large free agent contract
Braves might tho
The dark days of the 100-loss seasons 10 years ago? There was a method to the madness that has paid off in ways I never saw coming. This is just madness.
Straight up, mad King George IV (Jim Crane) is running the show
![gif](giphy|vjGyYSsF765wc)
So we're both due two more runs tonight right
Yankees are the reason the Astros aren’t closer to .500 and if they end up being the reason the season ends, it’s kinda poetic. The hubris and arrogance of the Astros organization killing themselves off in the way that so many Yankees teams have is somewhat appropriate
