End the misery quicker I guess? This team quit after it was 6-0
Paul Blackburn, he was on the As back when we could still slug
Maybe Crane needs to call Joe into his office
Or
Maybe he has
Or
Maybe he has
I'm convinced that this offense isn't going to improve without Paredes coming back. It feels like whenever he went down the wheels started to come off
Chas still around?
Time to warm

Yep
That June performance came with the 1-2 punch of Pena and Paredes at the top of the lineup
yes, Paredes covered for a lot of the reckless first-pitch swinging by the other hitters

It was over at 2-0 in the 2nd. Which it often is with these bums.
We better take 2/3 from the rangers this weekend. Lose that series and we might end up 3rd in the division
Jake needs to finish his minor league stint quickly if he wants 3-4 scheduled days off before the season's over.
Yainer singles to start the 9th
This is gonna test Joe and it's going to be very telling how he handles this.
Someone will be asking about Framber and Cesar and he's gonna have to answer some tough questions about managing a clubhouse that will tell us a lot about Joe as a manager.

"Don't worry we will handle this in house" then framber will throw more people under the bus
Might as well start batting Yordan 2nd
Pena and Paredes your top two hitters by OPS were 1-2 in the order in June when you were actually playing winning ball
You can leave Altuve in the 3 hole
Then you can work Sanchez into the 5 and you'll have Jake back soon to bolster the bottom part of the order
If Joe gonna mess around with lineups might as welll have Yordan batting high

Framber needs to skip a turn in the rotation at the very least. He is not good right now and his mental attitude is a huge part of the reason.
the Astros' season run differential is down to +14

Astros keep playing like this and Julia gonna be stripping for charity
Your terms are acceptable.
I can't recall a team purporting to be above-average that had this expansive and consistent of a capacity for getting absolutely embarrassed. It can't mean anything to them.
it's interesting looking at the Yankees lineup vs. the Astros lineup
shows why OPS is such an important statistic
it's hard to score with six hitters at .700 or below
they don't get on base and they don't slug

+/- RD this small just means we won enough close games to cover for our blowouts.
Feels like our comeback wins dried up at the ASB. Only one I can think of lately is Javier's first start vs. Boston.

They were winning when top two OPS batters were 1-2 in the order
Fly ball rate vs ground ball rate
one produces homers, one produces singles

Carlos has 33 hits since rejoining the Astros
27 singles

Astros abysmal offensive production over the last 3 weeks (since 8/12):
1, 4, 0, 5, 0, 0, 0, 2, 7, 10, 9, 2, 1, 4, 4, 2, 1, 0, 8, 1 averaging 3.05 runs/game over a 20-game stretch.
Take out the 3 straights wins @ BAL and it's 2.06 runs/game over the other 17 games
7 games at home scoring 1 run or less, including 3 shutouts

Maybe it's time for some stability in the lineup?
It's one thing when you were managing around a bunch of injuries but the rotation and batters are the healthiest (knock on wood) they've been all season.
As for Framber, he's 1-2-3 Cancun at this point. Just sayin it's uncanny that he hit the skids once the trade deadline passed. Wonder if he asked for a trade or if he was shopped

Yep, it's overall just settled into being a bad, boring baseball team. Crazy that the period when it was fun was when half the roster was Space Cowboys. Crazy and a real bummer to look back on.

you mean….. reckless first pitch swings by ALL other hitters? I mean damn…….
can the hitting coach not intervene?
Maybe George stole the Astros fountain of youth and contributed to our downfall. What a statline for him since the end of June.
#BlueJays George Springer is batting .385/.463/.682 with 52 runs scored, 69 hits, 16 home runs, 39 RBI, and 9 stolen bases in 47 games since June 21st this season.

There’s speculation that Astros pitcher Framber Valdez purposely crossed up his catcher Cesar Salazar and hit him with this pitch after Salazar told him to step off before allowing a grand slam pic.twitter.com/ds3c9MzQV6

It's pretty obvious it was intentional. Framber is actively harming his free agency, and it's getting to the point where he needs to be disciplined. Obviously whatever they're trying to do behind the scenes isn't working. They won't do it, but it's getting close to public shaming time.
