The 2 games of this series have been a really accurate microcosm of the season.

Totally.

    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:

OU SUCKS

Yeah just sucks not having OU and Astros the same weekend

Ah well, surviving the crapshoot to the LCS 7 straight years in this format was a damn miracle.  It had to end some time.

Fucking laughing at everyone that say managers have zero relationship to outcomes in baseball.

I'm not sure they make the playoffs next year without some serious retooling through free agency.

If Bregman isn’t resigned this is the last year we will be in the playoffs for a long time.

In this division?  I don't see why not.

Pressly should have been moved down a long time ago and Hader shouldn't have pitched yesterday.

You know it’s not your year when you finally score two runs and I mean struggled to score two runs when we could have scored more then follow it up with giving up 4 on a wild pitch and some scrub gets a triple off our stud closer. Not our year.

Our what?

If we lose i hope i never see that 55 fuck in an Astros uniform ever again

You saw Pressly fuck someone while he was in his uniform?  Kinky . . .

The only reason we made it this year was the AL West was the worst division in baseball.

Crane needs a complete reset from the HOF cabal down to every coach and medical personnel.

Nobody gives a fuck about this potentially being Bregman's last AB as an Astro.

Mariners are just good enough to win it if the Astros don't do anything this winter.

Hinch is a badass...Major Props hate we let em go

Which won’t happen. We won’t make any changes and I’ll be surprised if we do anything of substance in free agency.

....you mentioned something about "our stud closer".....

A peaceful October will be strange.

I met my significant other in August 2016. The Astros helped me out that year missing the playoffs allowing me to focus on reeling her in.

I think I’m more anxious because idk what I’m going to do with the rest of my October.

I’m not sure I’m ready to let her get a taste of what life can be like if I’m available for “stuff” in October.

Hinch was a cheater and while being better than Espada, who isn't, wasn't some savant either. His shitty management cost us a WS and the 2015 ALDS.

tigers are younger, more pop in their bats, and full of fire 

we have a limping star hitter, an old star pitcher that couldn’t make the playoff roster, too many pitchers on the IR, no pop in our bats, and so on ….

The Astros got me through a lot of shitty football, but now it appears they will be swapping places.

Yea it’s called sarcasm.

who do you bring in besides pressley and harder ? 

1) ideally Hader wouldn’t have been used yesterday so he’d be more rested and unfamiliar to Detroit
2) Given that 3 of the first 4 batters in the 8th were scheduled to be lefties, not to mention it’s the top of their order, analytics would argue that Hader should have pitched the 8th from the start

$95 million for Hader is the worst misallocation of Astros resources since Carlos Lee.

Those in this thread who say managers don’t matter are delusional. Yes, players ultimately have to execute, but Hinch puts the right people in the right situations more often than most. His team of unknowns + 1 cy young pitcher are going to the ALDS, and a lot of that is because he’s pushing the right buttons at the right time. I maintain he’s the best active manager in the majors 

it’s been a long season, this roster is beat to hell. time to rest

Just glad the Astros run lasted long enough to get thru the football dark times for the Texans (and Texas State)

What are the serious chances crane fires espada and even if he does who here trusts that crane doesn’t let bagwell who’s an even bigger cancer to the franchise to make the next hire? It will be another disaster.

Hader isn’t a lock down closer and is not clutch.

Hes good.

But he doesn’t deserve the highest contract ever for a reliever 

The best part is the front office is incapable of going through a competent rebuilding process.  So, we got that going for us.

Managers don't matter.  Unless they're completely off the deep end playing martin maldonado every day or something.

Hader still being in is the most Espada shit I’ve ever seen.

Gonna let him work himself out of it and save the rest of the pen for tomorrow.

I honestly believe that managers don't win baseball games, but they can lose them.
