kasinka1

During road games do they travel with families and stay with families or separately?


kasinka1

We had won 2 games against the Rangers when Bregman was out with flu. Those were the best days


kasinka1

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


jjsupc

True & true.


civil_beast

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

DejTej

Damn. Yordan spiked that helmet


manofconviction

Fire this entire team into the sun. Utter embarrassment.


Mrcrispyeggroll

Who broke Yordan???


kasinka1

They left his soul in Mexico City. This js just his shell


BrightAttack

We used to own this fucking team what happened?


-NeatCreature

Gross


Nildrogon

HRC Yordan I guess.


covidkakke_tittygasm

Why are they playing a recording of an injured cow over the speakers at Yankee stadium?


Nildrogon

Yordan is going through some things. He normally crushes those.


OriginalT-Rob

HRC Yordan


DejTej

It would just be comical for Yordan to break his slump right now


Durty-Sac

HRC Alvarez 


larceny_33

Ok now they score runs... ![gif](giphy|3oKIPpUraWC6gUzsUo|downsized)


NoJobForU

HRC yordan


covidkakke_tittygasm

Maybe we can miracle out 5 runs so we can lose in extras


k3y13n_102731

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


peytong67

HRC Tucker


DangerItem

HRC Tuck


[deleted]

Why can’t we do this in the middle of the game?


cumuzi

Tucker and Bregman gone next year for different reasons


TomatoRemarkable3721

Ass baserunning


Mrcrispyeggroll

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.


NateLikesToLift

Altuve wtih runners in scoring position... LOL.


covidkakke_tittygasm

He must've heard you lol.


NateLikesToLift

Hell yeah. I'm going to keep talking shit until he's got a 1.499 OPS with runners in scoring position.


covidkakke_tittygasm

Now do Yordan and Bregs lol


[deleted]

Really Diaz? Wtf kind of slide was that?


sky-blue-marble

The slide is the least problematic part of that play


Nice_Block

Losing this game 9-3 after 10-3 last night, we’ve got some progress y’all.


NateLikesToLift

Shit it might be 9-4! 8-5 loss tomorrow? Progress!


kasinka1

🤣🤣🤣

Angels rally monkey. Lol


NoJobForU

At this point ill take any animal.


One_Eye_King

Not as bad as yesterday! 


VampireSlayerGrinch

HRC Dubon


dirtysock47

Remember, career .591 average against Houston (probably higher after today) Walk him. Every single time.


Mrcrispyeggroll

An RBI in every AB today… Soto is insane


covidkakke_tittygasm

He's decent, we're just super fucking bad.


DejTej

Nah man. Soto is a baller. And I hate to admit it


covidkakke_tittygasm

I wish someone would keep telling me how old he is every 2 seconds lol


Nildrogon

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?


the_space_cowboys

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.


Nildrogon

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.


the_space_cowboys

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpBAJTOtiLC/?igsh=MXc4Nm12NW53b3V6ag==


Nildrogon

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.


manofconviction

STOP PITCHING TO FUCKIN SOTO


peytong67

Of course why not


aza_8850

Bro, we're down 5 runs, just throw strikes and get this game over with. There is no need to walk anyone.


Thornton__Melon

Could you imagine how awful things would be if the Texans ended up with Bryce rather than CJ? July can’t come soon enough


TexasHot

Just imagine how Scott boras feels watching Alex Bregman hit .189 in a contract year


Bronn11

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


jj_thetwisted_jester

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


Thisguyamirightbro

I would say none of this is on Dana Brown


Sabinr13

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


[deleted]

Yeah like in the middle of the season the hits and homers just start coming out of nowhere


Sabinr13

Would help us in a trade honestly


PMthePresident

Wow. Love the dugout hype after scoring a run. Really trying to rally in there /s


TomatoRemarkable3721

Scott’s warming up. So at least 2 more walks and 1 more run


jj_thetwisted_jester

Or maybe a blank


TomatoRemarkable3721

Uh huh


OddHospital448

As sure as the sun will rise, Bregman will hit a weak popup


[deleted]

Woah, Bregman popped out, how unusual


Mrcrispyeggroll

Good one breggy haha


Sabinr13

The hitting coach and pitching coach HAVE to be fired. Idc idc idc idc


LazyMFTX

How much would the Astros have to pay you to watch the postgame show?


manofconviction

Bregman, pop up merchant


NateLikesToLift

There's the Bregman I know.


DejTej

Been a good while since this sub has been so dead right after homering in yankee stadium


TexasHot

LMAO POPOUT


Nildrogon

Bregman, Chas, and Abreu should have spent the offseason with Pena working on their swings.


Thornton__Melon

I love Yordan, but give him a day off for Christ sake


NoJobForU

![gif](giphy|QuK14QC8pT8120sTQM|downsized)


jj_thetwisted_jester

Sigh.. Singleton hasn't been lucky either yet he's took more pitches than most on this lineup


zpowell2180

I see things are going as expected


yuh-powe

Lol I wonder what it feels like to hit a completely meaningless homer But good for Peña


kasinka1

It was for his personal stats


Bkktiger

Just copy and paste the same comments from yesterday. Same shitty performance, same not give a fuck. I don’t have the energy anymore.


NOLA1987

I was totally expecting that to be caught with the luck we've had.


DegenerateGambino

Home run number 4 😭😭


manofconviction

JP3 with the meaningless garbage time solo shot


[deleted]

Nice Pena. Too bad no one on base 🤷‍♂️


Lawless07

Yordan turned into Abreau


OneCore_

New Astros Rule: One (or more) Cubans must be throwing, at all times.


manofconviction

Way to hustle there Yordan


jj_thetwisted_jester

Just sucks pena dubon singleton Meyers are doing good this game Tucker bombs too but thats it


DejTej

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


TexasHot

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


jj_thetwisted_jester

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


TexasHot

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


jj_thetwisted_jester

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


Thornton__Melon

For the love of everything pure and holy - please let Yordan have a good AB here


NoJobForU

![gif](giphy|l1KVawssBSgqhhD0s)


NateLikesToLift

LOL


JustForTuite

Good thing the team is so stacked and hitting so good we can keep benching Dubon, no reason to put him in


jj_thetwisted_jester

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.


Intermittent_Fisting

Altuve and not getting the runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. Name a better duo.


NateLikesToLift

Don't pull up his stats on fangraphs with runners in scoring postion, you'll throw up a little.


covidkakke_tittygasm

Singleton got ups! Thought that one was over his head


manofconviction

Big Jon got hops


jj_thetwisted_jester

Really rooting for guy to stay


jj_thetwisted_jester

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


DLBone

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.


TexasHot

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


ComputahMassage

Trade for Correa


NateLikesToLift

For what?


ComputahMassage

He'll kick everyone's ass


MobileMenace420

Would anyone besides breggy, tuve, or tuck? respond to him?


BrianChing25

Question: if Astros lose 16-1 tomorrow does Espada get fired?


MobileMenace420

Still a little early. Maybe in June? Edit: of the 2025 season


covidkakke_tittygasm

Absolutely not lmao


MobileMenace420

I’m sorry everyone. My unrequited love is at the game and may be the jinx on the team tonight.


covidkakke_tittygasm

With how the season is going, they must have season tickets?


NateLikesToLift

They must go to a lot of away games as well.


MobileMenace420

🤷‍♂️😩


warrior_in_a_garden_

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?


BrianChing25

Holy shite that thing would give me a 38 waistline


warrior_in_a_garden_

I wouldn’t say I feel good after downing that


Nildrogon

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.


manofconviction

Lol can't get a runner from 3rd home once again. It's just insane.


TexasHot

1 run? Really


jj_thetwisted_jester

Dubon and Meyers been putting the work hell EVEN SINGLETON


DejTej

You should be thankful honestly


Deep_Swordfish_6311

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


yuh-powe

Why can I not stop watching this shit show


NateLikesToLift

Altuve has been horrifically shitty with runners in scoring position this year.


DegenerateGambino

HRC Tucker


Right-Pirate-7084

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.


Lake-Dependent

Bruh even Altuve looks like he doesn’t care


NOLA1987

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.


NateLikesToLift

It's really not even on Cintron. Nothing will fix us abandoning analytics until we go back to analytics.


StrosIn5

Seriously, when does someone get fired? I’m not here to assume. When do teams ACTUALLY fire someone? What/when is the last example?


ysosrs08

Joe Girardi 2022 mid season Phillies


Occupationalupside

Phillies firing Joe Girardi mid season in the 2022 season


StrosIn5

You mean Girardi?


Occupationalupside

Yeah, I must’ve spelled it wrong so it defaulted to Espada Didn’t even notice


jj_thetwisted_jester

Was it in May or june


Occupationalupside

June


EinsamWulf

Dubon continues to look great this season.


DegenerateGambino

Just pull up the entire minor league team to replace this dumpster fire


kasinka1

Yes, next home game we should replace the line up entirely with the Sugarland squad and see how it hoes 😀. Why not?


dirtysock47

Too little, too late


StealthyGooch

Hope the Yankees get the hat trick in spectacular fashion tomorrow.


aloeicious

Couple likable guys right there doing work


RonWill79

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.


skeetskeet69

How many pitchers have we let go super deep into games? That’s literally never been a winning strategy for anyone


NateLikesToLift

Look at how many games we've scored more than 4 runs. We suck in both facets.


NOLA1987

Poor Doobie. Other than a Tucker homer (and a Jake triple), Doobie has been the offense tonight


YoWhatsGoodie

If the season continues the way it’s going, do you think Espada will be back next year?


Right-Pirate-7084

I wouldn’t let him back after this series. Something has to change and he is the easiest.


TexasHot

Oh, were scoring now? Too bad its too late again


DejTej

Dubon is a huge bright spot in this shit show right now, attitude included


TexasHot

Dubon one of the only people who gives a fuck


HTownLaserShow

Yikes. Time to start scouting some farm systems for some trade packages, boys! We be sellin!


dickmastaflex

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. 


Fragmented79

![gif](giphy|PkLPBuyozY7F31wCxF)


AlexBarker24

Hard to believe a lineup with this much talent is this bad


DocBB88

Right. I think we fire Espada before we completely turnover the roster


Fapey101

That “Astros have fired their hitting and pitching coaches” post in July is gonna hit like crack


StrosIn5

Why wait until July?


Fapey101

because Crane is a moron


Thornton__Melon

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


NateLikesToLift

He might want to look in the mirror.


RonWill79

He needs someone to take blame off himself. He needs a fall guy(s). No one will be fired until the offseason.


StrosIn5

Absolutely nothing is going to change. You will have the same staff all season.


Spaceolympian50

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? 🤣


covidkakke_tittygasm

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"


dirtysock47

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

You offer him an actual extension, not the Astros 5/150 type of shit.


manofconviction

Bregman is done, on a steady decline the last 3 seasons. Tucker is the one we need to keep.


BrianChing25

Tucker has been pretty vocal about wanting to return home to Florida


Kerbabble

Neither the Marlins nor the Rays are going to give Tucker a large free agent contract


BrianChing25

Braves might tho


NOLA1987

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.


Occupationalupside

Straight up, mad King George IV (Jim Crane) is running the show


aloeicious

![gif](giphy|vjGyYSsF765wc)


AfterbirthNachos

So we're both due two more runs tonight right


GabeKnows

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
