Tigers losing their asses off and not even worried about missing the playoffs, thanks to the ineptitude in Houston

Lack of any urgency with a playoff spot on the line is a massive indicator of a dysfunctional team

Urgency doesn't help you hit.

Neither do our coaches

Walker facing 100 mph straightballs

We know how this ends

K number 176 for Walker

Enter Victor

Why even bother PH

I would be fine letting the AAA lineup from June finish out the season. No reason to see anymore of these we todds playing like the bad news bears.

I'm really glad Carlos will be here next year to fill the leadership role starting in ST.

This team desperately needs a leader.

Another chance to suck again tomorrow

A's would overtake us in the standings if there was 2 weeks left in the season

Reddick found Pop's bottle of Vitalis

Some really bad mojo here, an Astro club that just doesn't give a shtt at the end of the season

That is enough to remove Espada

Especially after last season's quick postseason exit

it will be an interesting offseason for sure

12 of the Astros position players are under contract for 2026:

Altuve, Correa, Paredes, Pena, Yordan, and Cam

Yainer, Walker, Sanchez, Urias, Jake, and Dubon

but there's no way Dana can bring back the same hitters (and their many weaknesses)

there has to be turnover among the position players

Season was…. Kinda fun boys

Can we find a way to convince the dodgers to give us cash considerations and a couple of minor league prospects for a package deal of Walker, Sanchez, and Dubon?

Reddick speaking truth...It's difficult to be a part of.

Well, if the manager and GM don't see it for to give a **** about a player publicly ****ting on the team and his teammates, why should they care what happens on the field?

Missed it. What did he say?

You have got to get Espada and Framber out of the clubhouse

Loser personalities dragging down this team

And, lol, 4 games to go and they could still make playoffs as bad as Detroit is playing

Need to figure out a way to clone Paredes

That Dodgers series was phenomenal.

and…..

and…..

hmmph

Carlos needs to sit Framber down and tell him, "You effed this all up. Tomorrow, you need to make it right and pitch your ass off."

Almost forgot what it was like to have a team no-show like this having been absolutely spoiled and witnessing a baseball run like few others over the last near decade Have to remember not just the injuries, but the bad timing of them this year that will have us on the outside looking in. Go Stros, and hopefully we punch the right buttons for a couple more runs before Altuve starts to really decline.

---

Not sure if you agree, but I think Altuve's steep decline has already started.

---

I mean like "no cartilage bone on bone can't throw to a base" decline like bagwells last year.

---

I wouldn't be surprised if Altuve decides to retire this year.

---

Why?

---

He is the kind of guy that doesn't care about personal glory and I could see him realizing his decline and hanging it up whether that's because he isn't having fun anymore or doesn't want to be a detriment to the team. Money never seemed to be a big issue with him.

Astros players and coaching staff should be forced to watch every second of the Mariners celebration clinching the division at the completion of our game in the minor league locker room

---

They went out and got Naylor and Suarez, both of whom had been Mariners, for Brandyn Garcia, Tyler Locklear and some other minor leaguers. Naylor and Suarez are still good. I don't know what the Astros gave up but the reunion tour with Correa didn't work.

Correa has had a WAR around 1 with the club; he hasn't been the problem, in the least.

The Mariners were laughably terrible about 3 weeks ago and their deadline acquisitions weren't doing much for them.

The reality is that this team quit and as much as I hate the reality of Joe Espada as this club's manager; it's not his fault. He absolutely never should've been hired in the first place and was flashing almost immediate signs last April that he was in over his head.

There is absolutely no way that the club can bring him back as the hallmark of his time with the Astros was finding a way to get the least out of the star players he had.

192 AB, 8 2B, 6 HR and 19 RBI in 49 games. You good with that?

Correa is not the problem

Astros and Braves are on similar trajectories right now and it's not good. Both ending long playoff streaks this season with rosters that should be good enough to at least be in the wild card

Is anyone on the complete rebuild bus with me?

Pretty easy to get the least out of your players when they're all on the IL.

I'm on the minor rebuild while keeping the core instact. Cut the fat and get younger acquisitions (no 34+ first baseman, outfielders who get DFAd every offseason, or retread pitchers)

Pena, Correa, brown, Yordan, Altuve, Cam, Paredes, Javier, Abreu, Hader, Arighetti. Thats the core IMO. Anybody else is up for grabs

Wabs said:

I am. Restock so we can go on another run.

"It's now Round 10 of a 10-round boxing match. Do the Astros answer the bell or choose to stay in their corner?"

I'm pretty sure I now know what the answer is...
