Do you think we could beat the skeeters?

This team can beat anyone in baseball.

You know that.

The sad thing is, right now, our three position player superstars are three of the worst hitters on the team.

We need to stop allowing the guys to go home after the game. Rent a fucking hotel and pretend that we are on the road.

Also, put Altuve and Correa at 8/9 in the lineup.

As a group, this team just seems mentally anemic. Not sure if CC and Springer are thinking too much or too little, but they obviously must hit to give us any chance.

Regardless, right now I have to bat White fourth and move CC and Guriel down. I’m tempted to bat Kemp leadoff. Who really cares which guy’s psyche gets bruised? Grow a pair.

AJ isn’t worried, they’ll pick it up and be just fine he’ll say.

Yuli Gurriel is stealing $12.7 million from the Astros.

He's probably right. There's a whole ton of baseball to play.

Reddick is going to hit a HR and we're gonna lose by a run.

Or not.

Maybe they should be thinking a little bit more about baseball than posing for some I am awesome picture in the dugout?

That bottom of the 8th makes this one of the most frustrating losses of the season.  

Dear Astros,

Please pull your heads out of your collective asses. Tomorrow is September 1st, and you’re in a legitimate fucking pennant race with the god damn Oakland A’s.

Sincerely,

Astros Fans

P.S.
We sincerely appreciate the World Series win last year. We’re not even asking for a repeat, although it’d be a lot cooler if you did. Just please resemble on a somewhat consistent basis the fucking World Champions that you are.

Dear Ungrateful Astros Fan,

Lol, not this shit again😂

New month, new outlook, turn the page and let your nuts hang

Every game now is pretty much a must win, let's see how the boys handle this. September baseball is not for the weak.

This is the bottom line. Springer is at a wRC+ of 114 and Correa at 107. Imagine replacing Springer and Correa with pretty average everyday players - well, that's essentially what's happened this year. 

Add to that the fact that Altuve, while he's still been really good, has not been particularly close to the offensive player he was in '16 or '17 - and suddenly your lineup is closer to ordinary than exceptional. 

 

Time to let your nuts hang. Tired of seeing CC and GS struggling.  Its like they are worried about off the field life(marriage,  endorsement deals etc..) . Still think they did Ted wrong by not letring him play more at mlb level. Its not like gattis or josh were killing it. Pennant race is on not the time to be half-assing it. Stop excuses,  stop excepting to win and go make it happen

I think Springer is fine. He's a streaky hitter, always has been. But hopefully the thumb isn't affecting him too much. 

Correa is the one that concerns me. He has seemed off at the plate all season. Add in the vague back injury. He's been terrible since coming back. Obviously the talent is there, but this is looking like a lost season for him. Strange thing is that he was terrific last year (when he played) and appeared to be making a leap as a hitter. I suppose these ascensions aren't always linear. 

We'll see what happens in September. Barring an epic collapse, we'll be in the postseason - though it very well could be as a wild card. Bleh. 

I wonder despite what they say about being hungry for another championship or continued improvement... there's just that inevitable letdown for some of the guys that occurred after reaching the pinnacle last season. 

We need another hurricane to hit Houston.

I kid.

Kind of.

Homeboy is humming shit. Hit 101 and 100

Thread might be slow tonight

Just said he had the fastest pitch by an Astro this year

He ain't gonna make it long at this rate.

3 run bomb and 50 pitches through 2

McAlmostCann

SF, 3-1

Lulz, you can't run to 1st on the 3rd strike when it hits your back leg first

How many times have Altuve, Correa and Gurriel combined to ground out to the left side this year? Must be a record already. 

Springer is so happy he got interfered with lol.

What the motherfuck are we doing squaring to bunt. Altuve hit the fucking ball. God damn we have turned into some massive pussies
