This team.

Fuck it.

@AstrosFanInBigD

This team.

Fuck it.

This team s a victim of a lot of things, starting with absolute managerial incompetence. But the bullpen is a close second.

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

Fucking hell.

[chuck (Triple Super Secret Pope)]

Lots of things, yes, but Espada is absolutely terrible. He has contributed significantly to a large portion of the team’s many losses.

I haven’t seen the play with Altuve being thrown out at home, but I got the impression from the radio that he shouldn’t have been running there. How bad was it?

Worse than they described it.

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

Once again, I fail to understand why you pitch to the better hitter with a base open in extras. Meneses is by far a better hitter than the next 3 guys. There is literally zero reason to pitch to him.

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

An absolutely horrible send. He was out by 20 feet.

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

20 feet is generous. The catcher had time to file his taxes and still get the out

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

Pressly, Bregman, and Pettis absolutely gave the game away.

Sending Altuve on a pop that shallow, with a gun in RF, and Tucker up? Ridiculous.

Altuve would’ve been better off pulling up and making it a rundown with the hope another team plays as shitty as the Astros are right now.

It was a pop up to foul ground in shallow right. He shouldn’t have been sent.

I’m anxious to hear if he was sent or went on his own. Altuve has been known to do something stupid every now and then. But if they sent him……

…then I think we have the wrong manger folks. It hasn’t been a good look so far.

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

@Astrojo

These guys need a mandatory base running clinic on their next day off.

The send is on the coach, but Altuve is the anti-Bagwell on the basepaths.

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

The manager isn’t the one sending him.

[RTB]

@MusicMan

The manager isn’t the one sending him.

True, but that’s where the buck stops.

The manager isn’t why Ryan Pressly can’t stop stomping on his dick. If Pressly does his job, the Astros win.

[Doyce7 (Doyce Kirkland)]

This team is just impossibly bad right now. Fucking 7-15. I’m watching every game and still do not believe it.

Today yes. And I’m not calling for Espada’s head today. Not that what I say matters. But his bullpen moves have been suspect. But when they pitch this badly, perhaps there isn’t a good move to be made. Just bad all around with this team right now.

Well if Hader hadn’t fucked around and needed to throw 53 pitches last night. He would have been available today.
