The seasons and the elements are killing this team. 
Can’t win in the spring, 

cant win in the cold

cant win in the wind 

can’t win in air conditioning 

well I guess we won’t need to worry about fall, so there’s that

    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

actual phone conversation i had just now

"Well, draft starts in two hours, and then after this weekend, no more sports to watch until -"

"Three hours."

"Oh. Right. They start bullshitting in two, actual draft is at 8 Eastern. Anyway, after that, it's a real damn shame that there aren't any sports on this summer, nothing until August. Yep, no more..."

"Oh, the Astros los--"

"I SAID IT'S A REAL GODDAMN SHAME THAT THERE AREN'T ANY MORE SPORTS ON UNTIL AUGUST."

This is hard core suckitude.  Singleton’s inability to barrel and elevate is going to end his career.  He’s badass at taking pitches knowing when to swing but he fucking rolls over everything.

It ended it 5 9 years ago yet here we are

That we are off to a worse start than any season between 2011 and 2013 got me thinking. At least then we had a plan in place to turn things around. There was a reason to be excited for the future even when the present was terrible. This is starting to feel like 2007.

Anyone else get their May ballpark pass today?

Going to be able to stroll down to the 5th row like it's 2012 again.

Not in 2011 we didn't.  Unless you consider selling out to Selig's bullshit move to the AL a plan.

0.0% chance this team full of raisin balls turns it around....and even if they do they will get beat in whatever shitty playoff game/series they make.

Man idk.

August? Sure

but I think people will still be holding on to the bandwagon through at least the ASB.

 

but yeah, when they put the 2nd half single game tickets on sale, gon be crickets unless they find a hot streak

All these damn Cali imports, my kids are having to take shit now, from not only Dodger’s delusional ass fans but now the Angels, Ahh hell nah, A big ol’ FU to Dana Brown! Kids for the first time in their lives are questioning being Astros fans. Now I have to teach them about the past and what it means to be a Houston Sports fan. I hoped to keep them pure and innocent for a few more years to come.

I'm at the team hotel in CDMX, I might send 25 slump busters up to their rooms.

It'll smell like carne guisada, but whatever

Source: the Astros are optioning right-hander J.P. France to Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of their trip to Mexico City. That will clear a roster spot for Framber Valdez, but does prompt some questions about how their rotation lines up going forward.

My affection for JP France is right there around @Wulaw Horn's for Phil Maton.  Hopefully he stays down there.

Mauricio Dubón: "It's a slap in the face. If you'd have told me we were going to be like this after we broke camp, I probably would've called bullshit. Things are not going our way right now. We just have to battle through, stay positive and keep playing baseball."

Let's see if Yordan can nail a 500 footer into the stands, and that be the spark that ignites a fire in this team that burns until they win the World Series in November! 

Even if Yordan hit a monster shot over the wall, I'd half expect the Rockies' version of Bob Beamon to leap into the stands and catch it.

We will probably win both games this weekend then all our guys will get sick for a week and we will go on a 7 game losing streak

Solid 2nd start today for @JustinVerlander After the game he spoke with the media.

 

#4685

We’re going to find out how much patience Crane has. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a managerial change at the All-Star break if things don’t improve OR look for a player dump in exchange for minor leaguers on the rise. Rome fell, I guess it happens to baseball teams as well.

If the 2024 Astros lose their next 2 games, they will officially own the worst start in franchise history. It would be a bigger shock to see them contend than sell at the deadline. It’s a historically bad start to the season with everything possible going wrong.

Ehhhh… I think I’d tap the brakes on the “everything possible has gone wrong” talk.  Has any of our main bats even missed a game due to injury?

I might argue that we had more stuff “go wrong” last year, with the injuries to Altuve/Alvarez/Garcia/Urquidy all within the first couple of months.

If this season is gone wrong, we will just ride the Framberlamps back to domination 20240426_000649.thumb.jpg.1b0a437b5d340fe9907032d9522889a4.jpg20240426_000649.thumb.jpg.1b0a437b5d340fe9907032d9522889a4.jpg

I tried to buy him a Paloma at the hotel bar but his agent wouldn't let me give it to him, so I drank it

Two years from now, the memory will be that you stepped up and drank Abreu’s drink in his face, and he didn’t do shit.

 

*Although he’s cooked, he does seem like a good dude.
