Cardinals at Astros, 4/19/26

Too stupid to win 40

This is starting to look like a team that needs blown apart and rebuilt.

Blown apart and the earth salted where it once stood.

All things must pass. It’s a good album and it describes the state of the Astros as a contender.

I was there last year.

The hot streak before the break last year was impressive, but the body of work starting in 2023 says this team is cooked.

(Yes I know how far they got in 2023)

Well, here’s the good news: it’s only 139 now.

Swept three times already this season. It’s going to be a lot of work to recalibrate my brain to the pre-2017 “I like to watch baseball and the Astros play baseball so that makes me happy” mentality.

Walker now 0 for his last 15. Three for his last 30.

3-13 since the first week of the season ended and against teams with a cumulative record 3 games below .500. What a putrid stretch. I can’t even imagine what the games will be like when they start playing the likes of the Dodgers, Braves and Yankees.

Sure you can.
