October 2, 20241 yr wouldn’t be shocked if yordan has a minor knee scope to clean things up, later this week
October 2, 20241 yr Man, that was a tough season. A shitty season by the Astros' standard and we still won the division.

October 2, 20241 yr Pressly. Though great in years past and appreciated, proved this season he was a weakness. I knew what was coming before it happened. I did not enjoy being correct.
October 2, 20241 yr Only played 163 games this year and done a day later than the end of last year’s regular season, so there’s that
October 2, 20241 yr We went from an analytics team to trusting an 8th inning guy that has proven all year he doesn't have it.

October 2, 20241 yr I am like a lot of you who are a little bit relieved to be free from the stress, but the Padres are my number two team, so I am all in on them.

October 2, 20241 yr Man this blows man, I mean come on you guys I mean come on . Oh man this blows man.
October 2, 20241 yr I can't say I'm surprised by this flameout. We played like an old, ragtag roster for long stretches this year. The surprise (to me) was that Arlington and Seattle refused to keep us out of the postseason. I don't see that kind of generosity continuing, but who knows? A good friend and hardcore O's fan in Maryland passed of cancer a couple weeks ago. He died waiting for his team to win another World Series. Their chances don't look good, but I'm going to pull hard for them as long as they're still in it. Might be only another hour.

Fuck all of em. I mean I'll watch, but there's only one squad I give a fuck about in baseball.
October 2, 20241 yr going into the season planning on chas and jake stepping up really hurt us all season
October 2, 20241 yr I figured we were running on the last tank of gas all year. Surprised we got this far actually. Front office and manager weakest in years. Espada vs Hinch was a mismatch (given the obvious experience difference in these post season situations). Problem is, we need to douche the front office (and silence any Bagwell opinions) and get a real manager.
October 2, 20241 yr Welp. That sucked. Season full of ups and downs and ended with meh. Seeing your relievers shit themselves on way out of the building was a tough watch.
October 2, 20241 yr Been a while since we didn’t win a game in October. Heck of a run, but signs our window has closed are everywhere
October 2, 20241 yr You could look at our lineup when we went on the run during the Tucker injury, know that was a fluke, and many of those guys would regress to the mean. And here we are. Oh well.
October 2, 20241 yr Just now, perfectchaos007 said: Been a while since we didn’t win a game in October. Heck of a run, but signs our window has closed are everywhere an entire elite starting rotation on the IL ?
October 2, 20241 yr 2024 Astros... total team effort from poor roster construction, lineup management, to players not peforming, and bad luck with injuries
October 2, 20241 yr Javier came back to earth last year already. Urquidy and Garcia are guys who pitch out of the pen in the playoffs if they make the roster. Turns out in 2022 that a whole bunch of guys decided to have their career year.
October 2, 20241 yr 1. injuries 2. abreu 3. chas / jake didn’t step up 4. old age 5. line ups ? you can only play the guys on the roster. playing abreu so much was a genius move, made crane run him off Edited October 2, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt
October 2, 20241 yr one you losers start the off season thread 😂😂 Edited October 2, 20241 yr by tx 3 putt
October 2, 20241 yr This has really been an awful year as a fan and I don’t think it’s because we are spoiled by winning-we are spoiled by relatively good management. Let’s hope we see some strategic thinking in the off-season and a little luck wouldn’t hurt.

October 2, 20241 yr they cannot let bregman walk. not a serious franchise if that happens. i’d fire espada and money-whip francona.
October 2, 20241 yr Dana Brown needed to be fired when Detroit made the last out. The roster is a shambles.
October 2, 20241 yr What the hell am i gonna go in financial debt from now since i dont have playoff tickets to buyHookers and blow it is I guess
October 2, 20241 yr Bullpen obviously didn't work out as intended. I'm sure a lot of us (me included) thought that Pressly/Abreu/Hader was gonna be a lockdown back end. Figured we'd rarely ever drop games if leading late. All 3 recorded ERA over 3.0 and took a combined 16 losses. OF was a mess. Jake and Chas combined for a whopping 1.1 WAR over 700+ AB. Our one good true OF started out playing like an MVP and then a freak injury cost him the entire Summer, and he's still obviously not back up to snuff. We had to give several hundred additional AB to cast-offs or prospects not ready for primetime (Cabbage, Gamel, Heyward, Loperfido, Leon). Yordan's knee decided to crap out just in time for the playoffs. 1B was such a black hole for the first 2 months of the season that Singleton filling in with 0.3 WAR and .700 OPS was a massive upgrade. Starting pitching was really the one surprise strength, given how many innings had to be pitched by rookies, and the fact that 4 or 5 guys we figured would feature heavily either barely contributed or missed the entire season. Got a lot of work to do in the offseason. Get a real 1B, get a real CF, upgrade 1B, replace Bregman somehow. Edited October 2, 20241 yr by Storm the Field

I don’t want to fire Dana but he needs a team President Luhnow to help create the plan. 10 minutes ago, patrickdrinksbeer said: i’d fire espada and money-whip francona.

If you’re going to throw up your hands and claim “every team is suffering from this,” I’m going to rebut that the team who proactively solves it is going to win championships. Maybe player health isn’t predictable but team health is. We KNOW there needs to be extra starters for this very reason.

On the down side, I’m probably going to push it all in to 3-4 hours on Oct 19 at DKR-TMS 😂
October 2, 20241 yr diaz is playing 1st next year. if singelton signs for the min, he’s the back up why on earth would you swap an elite offensive catcher for an average offensive 1B?1B is the easiest and cheapest position to upgrade.
October 2, 20241 yr He’s not a good catcher. He doesn’t have good hands. Putting him at first doesn’t fix that problem because good hands are sort of necessary there. Edited October 2, 20241 yr by kevwun
