Back out of 1st.  Those 18 days were nice while they lasted.

Think we ever see it again?

on the bright side I dont need to worry about flying back to Htown for playoff and WS games this year

That was a rough and tough Kansas City Royals team. 
 

You gotta give them a lot of credit. 
 

I wish them all the luck in the world in this year’s playoff run. Hopefully they go deep. 
 

Wait, wut?

Cut and paste from my text group:

So....at least we won't have baseball to distract us during the middle of football season

That game was lost when Dusty Baker filled out the lineup card made it to the park.

Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a game or some bullshit for the next 8

Record vs A's and KC in September:

2-5.

Yikes.

Hopefully we get to 4-5.

Can you really make a playoff run when you have two defensive only players in the lineup?

I am all for a designated-designated hitter. 

Five hits.

They had five hits and won 7-5.

LOL

We picked a bad time to have our worst month of the season.

Maldy is not a defense only player.

He's ... checks notes.... only a player. Neither offense or defense.

well, first place is over-rated (j/k).  season is not over.  a wild card spot will have to do this year.

limp into the playoffs, then turn up the urgency.

Lost 15 of the last 21 at home

nah.  we'll sense urgency after dusty wakes up from his nap. 

either way, i still believe. 

I bet the Astros are going to get dozens of phone calls about Yainer Diaz in the offseason. 
 

Ok. Let’s say 29 phone calls.

it's all we got. 

hanging with the team until the very end.

Better hope we don't end up like this poor chap....

 

Sig Mejdal is somewhere in a dark basement watching Astros games on a laptop. 
 

And he laughs every time Maldy strikes out or lets a ball get passed on him. 
 

 

I can’t remember a season where we’ve given up so many damn runs in the first 

Fucking killing us 

Playoffs on the line and the Astros go 1-3 against the Royals. Oakland appreciates our help. This team isn't making the playoffs and Crane needs to get destroyed in the media for letting ego ruin the window.

Fuck Crane, Bagwell, Jackson, and most importantly Dusty Baker. This shitty season is completely on those 4 guys.

Playing the 2nd worst team in the majors and losing moves you from 2nd to 6th, a 0.5 game ahead of a team that already has the tie-breaker on you and will likely put this team out of their misery starting on Monday.

And we’ll still probably win the division.

which is why I’m holding the angst until it’s official we wont

 

but yeah, it’s so hard when we make it so much harder than it needs to be.

TEX. 85-68
HOU 85-69 (.5)
Sea   84-69 (1.0)

TOR 86-68
 

All because we keep losing to the A's and Royals.

Fire Dusty. Fire Dana Brown for being an impotent accessory. He hasn’t done shit to improve this team all year including getting Dusty to pay attention to the fucking data.

This team has raisin balls

they really weren’t all that great. 

I get the dusty hate. But damn it ain't all on him. Bats do go missing for too long. But these pitchers get smashed daily. Our home record is beyond fucked up. We don't just lose at home, we get whooped. I would hate to see the total runs given up at home compared to what other teams give up.
 

Pitching has regressed hard this year. Probably the most for any team after winning the WS and bringing back mostly the same staff. 
 

Feeling gross...got Rangers friends sending me screenshots of standings.

that first inning today was a huge kick to the balls. we haven't seen pitching like this in a long time

we'll go as far as our pitching takes us. diaz should have been catching half the games long ago

Edited by tx 3 putt

I hate that I'm almost rooting for the Rangers to sweep the Mariners (or the Mariners win the last 6 against the Rangers). With how we are playing I feel like that is the only way we make the playoffs

pitching regresses when it isn’t coached. It’s not rocket science.

Dusty doesn’t coach baseball. He’s there. He makes gut decisions based on nothing other than ‘isms from the 1960’s and 70’s. 

That’s why he hadnt won a World Series until last year. Bc he makes teams worse.

We won it all last year in spite of him. 
A better manager could navigate the same struggles this year to a 95 win season with their eyes closed. I’m completely convinced.
