    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

Pressly and Espada can go fuck themselves in the face.

Nice 2-5 week.  Should pull the plug on Espada now

and the team. Trade the assets you can. Bregman getting hot is a big deal if the Astros were smart because they could now get a legitimate prospect for him.

Ryan Pressly walked the lead-off hitter and gave up a game-deciding double in the 8th inning against the Twins. "He looks like the Pressly I've seen in past year. There's just some unluckiness there."Astros manager Joe Espada still believes in him. https://t.co/8ZIrWFqJIs

Add “just some unluckiness there” to the phrases I never want to hear from the mouths of Espada or Brown again. Fire this idiot now.

To be fair, Pressly does look about like he has over the last year or so:

There’s a contingent of folks (& a couple podcasters) who claim Ryan Pressly’s poor performance is due to his demotion. -What does the data say?2018-2019 ERA-1.85 ERA (as setup)Post ASB 2023 ERA-5.19 (as closer)2024 ERA-5.31 (as setup)#Relentlesspic.twitter.com/KKC07TxAtM

He's lost speed on his fastball and his breaking stuff isn't nearly as sharp.

I do.

looong season and I still think this team is in the top 40% of the AL.

 

The Astros have been a .500 team over the last 180ish games.  This is who we are.

And it doesn't matter where we stand in the AL, we will need to win our division.  And right now we are getting smoked in the standings by two teams who have underachieved almost as much as we have.

I’m firmly in this camp

We need Yordan to go on a tear, bregman to wake up, Chas to start hitting or get moved down, Pressley to get bumped down, Jake from  Rake Farm to get some arm strength, and some starters to come back and throw lights out.

and the only reason we made the playoffs last year was the epic choke job by Seattle in September. 11-17 for Seattle while we went 12-14. Texas was only marginally better at 15-13.

BREAKING: Astros starter Jose Urquidy, recently pulled off his rehab start, will soon see Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas and could be headed for a second Tommy John surgery, sources tell me and @JeffPassan.

Apparently whatever LMJ has is contagious.  Need to keep him away from all the other pitchers.

Any day Abreu isn't in the lineup is a good day I guess.

Meh, he can hang out with Pressly all he wants. 

Edit: Merging is fucking dumb and should be removed.

Seattle fired their bench coach/offensive coordinator(lmao what a douche title) while being in 1st place.

We over here diddling our buttholes 8 games under .500 and every one gets the privilege of coming to work again today

Justin Verlander will face the Cardinals tonight for the first time since June 19, 2012. He opposed Lance Lynn that day. Phil Coke and Joaquin Benoit relieved him. A sitting manager, fired manager and sitting bench coach were all in the Cardinals lineup

To be fair, the only teams the Mariners’ offense has outscored are:

ChiSox

Miami

St Louis

Kind of. But our pitching stats are mostly middle of the pack.

seattle’s offense is bottom 5 in just about every important category
