I dunno, it's not forgetting when every (opposing) pitcher can out-execute the batter. There's no dictating the strike zone or trying to get to their pitch...pitchers don't fear our bats, come right at us and we can't do anything about it.

The 2025 plan, hope somebody else sucks more

wouldn't you know it the A's have the best bullpen ERA in baseball this month
It will get better after facing our lackadaisical lineup.
Caratini HBP
Caratini hit on the leg
'Tuve swinging at balls 3 feet off the plate again
Lol
season GiDP #20 for Altuve
many more to come in the years ahead
many more to come in the years ahead
Out without a ****ing wimper
Just the most unbelievable, believable GIDP from Altuve to squander what little life we had left.
Correa walks
I guess CC is playing short in the 8th and Urias to 3B
Hbp and walk, don't even threaten to score
The season was officially over when Yordan snapped his leg running in a straight line across home plate
I still don't know how we swept that series
At least we got some Outfield bumper music, "your love"

man dive for that **** Walker
I'm not watching but checked the thread. I think he's been outstanding defensively this year.
He has a -1.4 dWAR this year before tonight on baseball reference. He's within shouting distance of Altuve bad.
Since 2019 he's at 47 defensive runs saved with never a negative season in that span until this one at -6 DRS before tonight.
First season Abreu had a -.9 dWAR and -2 DRS. Walker's been worse. He's been an improvement with the glove over 2024 Singleton who had slightly worse defensive counting stats in just 88 games at 1b.

Fangraphs also has him with by far the worst fielding effort of his starting career as far as negative dWAR.

His fall off in the field is every bit if not more precipitous than with his bat.
all the issues of the season on full display in game 157
I hate to say it, but...
I think they are done this year. The injuries, Joe's poor managing and the horrific plate approach by Cintron and Snitker are just too much to overcome.

And we get a winter's blah blah of "strategic reloading not rebuilding" from Dana. Worst case scenario is unfolding, as many of us feared.
And we should have known better. Tonight's game was after an off day.
Gotta win the next two.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

See ya Joe. Will be interesting to see if they go after a "yes man" as the manager and someone who is buddy buddy with the players. Or go after a hard ass who will get in their faces and not put up with any ****
Jake has stunk in all facets since returning
another player Dana has to shop in the offseason

Lmao Mariners with a 2-out, bases clearing 2B in the bottom of the 8th to come back and beat the Rockies 4-3
5 straight Ws and 15 of the last 16… maybe the best/luckiest/wildest sprint to the finish in MLB history

I think that about wraps up the season, and a fitting end at that. 3 hits, and 0-3 with RISP. That sums up the 2025 Astros.
I can't remember the last time he got a hit

Walker straight up not even attempting to make plays
Dude is playing like he's done with the Astros, what an awful, awful, awful, atrocious signing.
Is Michael Schwab's last gasp "Joe should be considered for ALMOY considering all of the injuries" going to move the needle?
I absolutely hope not…Espada gets fired and we'll never hear his name pop-up as a manager anywhere else. If they bring him back, they can forget sending me requests to renew my ticket package for next season.

You only make that move to force a change in culture
Should be announced next Monday morning, 1st day after end of regular season
the Astros fall to 4-7 vs. the A's this season
the Astros have no chance vs. a team that can slug

Not going to go back and read thru the pre game posts (too depressing right now), but is there a reason Peña didn't play?

The Astros' injuries have sucked, but they are so woefully underprepared for every game/series/situation…Espada should thank God that Jimy Williams' name exists. That's the only thing that will keep him out of the basement of Astros management tenure history considering the team he inherited.
