I’ve been trying to think of something positive to post, and I’ve found it: I’m positive we’re playing like dogs.

So are we complaining he's made of glass or that he's trying to play too soon?

He might as well play here because his 0-4 is as good as his replacement's. 

Wut. Its not that hard to figure. Let him stay down to get in a grove and bring him back. He wasn't even hitting AA pitching.

Jesus, can you imagine dealing with all of that Osuna shit and then not even making the playoffs.

We've got 42 games to figure it out.


Do you realize he has the best BA on the current roster?

Cool story bro. He’s a fucking triple A player. He don’t belong here.

I really think this team lacks some leadership on the bench. The core hitters are still fairly young.

Wrong.

George Springer and Jose Altuve are both 28.

And unfortunately they are not with the team right now, but show me i'm wrong.

I just saw Altuve sitting on the bench, so he is “with” the team

Huh? They are both in the dugout.

Just send Tucker back down for the rest of the year. He obviously needs more time in the minors. 

Not that Oakland needs any more help, but they lined one off Paxton in the first inning and he’s out of the game.

At least we get Springer back Friday. I hope it helps. We might not be in first anymore.

Well, I stand by what have thought all year. To have a veterans presence on the bench, whether its a Beltran or someone similar. McCann would be a big help right now. I'd like to make a move for Beltre, without giving much to arlington.

I understand what you are saying, but we won the world series last year. We shouldn't need veterans to hold hands anymore.

Wrong.


In what world is kemp a lead off hitter for a world championship team? Gtfo here.

Friend of mine is at that game, texted me they smell Astro blood and to rub it sent a pic and they're all wearing long sleeves / light jackets

Gotdamn this.

Won’t happen but I would love to see the Rockies go in to a nosedive the next two weeks, fall about 8 back by aug 30 and deal CarGo to us.

You said on the team, not as lead off. He's been a productive player of the bench and hitting out of the 9-hole. Where have you been.

8 hits to 3. And their lineup is just as bad as ours when you look at BA. 4-1. This game is just about over.

Actually. Never mind my last post. They have 4 guys with higher BA than anyone in our lineup today. So yeah, they are definitely better than us.

Yeah but they only had to face Verlander. Our guys were forced to stand up there against Cy German.

You need to add the playing in Colorado a factor to this, but Aranado is a player.

Should have signed Big Al 

Kaline? He could still crack this lineup.

Yeah no. It’s not a shit ton of HRs for them.

This is where Hinch needs to earn his money.

So its not a factor playing in Colorado. You're saying it doesn't help any stats except home runs and they hit those too.

I’ve been traveling so not frequenting this thread as much as usual, but I just wanted to drop in and say fuck this. I know we are the walking wounded but this is pathetic. 

Kevin Eschenfelder: "When the Astros get something done, Tony Kemp is usually right in the middle of it."

That is the most depressing thing I've heard all year.

This is baseball. We were odds on favs for the NL two weeks ago and now can't beat anyone. But we'll both get right before the end of August. And hopefully meet again in the Classic.

This is odd. A team loaded with this much pitching typically doesn't go consecutive weeks of sub par play like this. 

Need a win tomorrow against another freaking LH.

Pull the stats if you want dude. Our highest BA tonight is like .280. That’s sad as shit.

I was told Will Harris doesn't suck.

I will repeat myself just because the following is unbelievable:

A loss makes it over a month since our last home win.

Not discounting the absurdity of that, the team hasn’t played 9 of those 31 days.
