October 2, 20241 yr Ah well, surviving the crapshoot to the LCS 7 straight years in this format was a damn miracle. It had to end some time. Edited October 2, 20241 yr by WBT
October 2, 20241 yr Fucking laughing at everyone that say managers have zero relationship to outcomes in baseball.
October 2, 20241 yr I'm not sure they make the playoffs next year without some serious retooling through free agency.
October 2, 20241 yr If Bregman isn’t resigned this is the last year we will be in the playoffs for a long time.

October 2, 20241 yr Pressly should have been moved down a long time ago and Hader shouldn't have pitched yesterday.

Not our year. Our what?

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.

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

October 2, 20241 yr 5 minutes ago, kevwun said: 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.

October 2, 20241 yr 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 …. Edited October 2, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt
October 2, 20241 yr The Astros got me through a lot of shitty football, but now it appears they will be swapping places.
October 2, 20241 yr This season was such a beating Way more disappoinment/frustration than enjoyment I hate high expectations!

October 2, 20241 yr 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 Detroit2) 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
October 2, 20241 yr 10 minutes ago, Macklemore said: $95 million for Hader is the worst misallocation of Astros resources since Carlos Lee.
October 2, 20241 yr Just now, D3zii said: Hinch is a badass...Major Props hate we let em go 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
October 2, 20241 yr Just now, kevwun said: The Astros got me through a lot of shitty football, but now it appears they will be swapping places. Just glad the Astros run lasted long enough to get thru the football dark times for the Texans (and Texas State)
October 2, 20241 yr 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.
October 2, 20241 yr 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
October 2, 20241 yr The best part is the front office is incapable of going through a competent rebuilding process. So, we got that going for us.
