From his perspective no way. For literally everyone else on the team he should

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


They are good enough to hold on and win a crappy division, but as things stand now it's looking like another early exit from the playoffs

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.

.480 in July
.464 in August
.400 so far in September.

It's not recent, it's who they are. They were barely over .500 in April and May as well. June was an outlier.

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


This team is showing every sign of a team that has quit on their manager; there's no life, there's no fire and it feels/looks like their having to slog through it day-to-day.

Espada is absolutely toast and the only bad thing is that; like has been said before; he really never should've been hired.

Astros are 15-18 since the trade deadline

and 5-6 since Yordan returned

Espada is getting fired


If we don't make the postseason? Yeah I think so. It will be a full staff change. They make keep one or both pitching coaches but everyone else in the dugout goes.

Make the playoffs somehow and go out in the WC round? I think he survives but Cintron and Snitker get booted. They may be seen as sacrificial lambs but it would be deserved.

They played great for a little over a month. And it was mostly AAA hitters and lights out pitching that did it. Besides that? This is who they have been all season. They just are not good hitters.

the sum just seems to be less than the sum of the parts, which isn't something you could say outside of maybe last year.

This team is going nowhere in the playoffs. He should be fired if they get bounced in 3 games

Offensively the loss of Paredes was significant. It feels like ever since the offense has just been moribund.

Pitching wise the return of Bad Framber in August has also been a factor. Actually it's Exceptionally Bad Framber this time, throwing his teammates under the bus when he isn't throwing at them.

Losing Hader and Jake have also been negatives.

I haven't seen much energy in this team.

Joe could be a goner, we'll see how the rest of the season plays out.

Yep, lack of energy. Too many guys slumping at the same time. Maybe the proverbial switch will flip but likelihood continues to decline, at least it feels like.

Talent wise most of the regulars are underperforming. Only Pena has an OPS this season which is higher than his career average.

Get Jake back tomorrow, of course will he be able to maintain his batting performance this season before the injury?

He, along with Pena has been significantly over performing his career OPS this season. That'd be one more better bat in the lineup.

But a lot falls on the shoulders of Altuve, Alvarez, Correa, Walker, and Diaz. Hard to win games when at least 4 of that group are scuffing

They are mostly in Sugarland, got DFA'd or are on the IL. As we have gotten more MLB pieces back, we have gotten progressively worse since the ASB.

I'm afraid that's all will do it.


We're squeezing the last drops out of the run. Next season we lose one of our last two starting aces, after losing two of close to our last star position players still playing at an elite level.

It's not more than 2 (Pena) to 3 (Hunter) years at most where we'd be better served by having a bad manager to facilitate the inevitable rebuild.

We absolutely want to make the playoffs and then see if we can surprise as the underdog.
