I get Lance takes the loss. But the bats deserve every bit of the abuse they have coming to them.

Not even mad at Lance. Game should have been over long before he pitched.

We can't start subbing out our better players to try to get a run.

Espada can't be fired fast enough for my tastes…just get this miserable season over with and send that stain into orbit.

Twice this week he has pulled Caratini as his best hitter in a game for a pinch runner that left us punchless.

Absolute trash manager.

2-14 risp yet the rangers were 1-14 risp

Part of me hopes we miss the playoffs all together so we can see some real change w/ the staff.

I think if caratini was still in the game, we would have won

I was pissed when Joe pulled him and then Melton didn't run until two strikes and two outs.

Caratini would have delivered there. Situation was tailor made for his situational hitting skills.

That's on every batter who swung at every first pitch.

Work their pitchers.

I'm sure the Jays and Red Sox were trembling in fear watching these two bumblef*** teams tonight

With the lead down to 4 with five left to play H2H and the .500 or worse ball this awful team otherwise plays anyway, it's very much about to pull off the funniest thing.

I can't wait to get Lance off the payroll


One more year at close to $20 million. He's tied for the team lead in negative bWAR with Chas as -1.0 before whatever tonight's walk and a hit in 0 innings does for it.

I bet he is cut before he gets to -1.5 WAR next season, but that's still 1/2 a season 7 ERA baseball and a blister or two.

Sadly I'm back to betting against the Stros and won $50 tonight...I wanted to pay the victory tax but nope.

You really think Espada is getting run? I don't. Maybe he should but I don't.

The funniest part of losing in 12 is every single person on the roster had a chance. Every single one. Not a single one, once, could nut up and do anything at all.

Peña striking out on three pitches that were all balls. Altuve first pitch out. Correa unproductive groundout. Sanchez pop-out on 3-0. Walker just being Abreu entirely. Dubon, Urias, Diaz all not hitting it out of the infield.

There is nothing more instructive about how teamwide and complete the suckitude and failure is.

We threw Gordon against Kelly tonight. I kind of expected to lose. Would have been nice to grab the W.

Beat DeGrom and Corbin the next two days. They used a lot of bullpen.

I'm not sure we could hang on if it were still a 154 game schedule with the current glut of playoff spots.

Espada was getting fired the moment he got hired and said "Nah, I'm good…let's keep this staff intact."

I just figured he'd last longer than 2 seasons, but every judgement call he makes shows how far in over his head he is.

deGrom has thrown 14 innings of two-run ball against the Astros in two starts this year and the Astros offense is now even worse than it was then.

This is a bad team. It's bad in the same way every time out. There is no single reason or piece of evidence to think it is going to get better.


They're a good team. Not a great one. They certainly HAVE NOT been playing good recently. But honestly, they are playing WELL below their potential.

Maybe they close out the year how they are playing now, which is not good. But the potential is there to be good again, and if they ALL play to their potential and healthy, they could be great.

It's sad to see. We need the team from June back.
