    3-8 last 11 games

    82-62 ---> 85-70

    SIX of those losses vs 100-loss teams (2-6)

    F***ing pathetic, but Dusty still happy Mold gets his 120 GP

    Next Year will be mostly about Starting Pitchers Framber Valdez, Jose Urquidy, Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman Playing for Huge Contracts going into Free Agency.

    Last Dance Next Year before Rebuilding with Joe Espada leading the Way

    The Astros haven't been a playoff team in September outside of the Rangers sweep.

    IF they make the playoffs, I don't see why anyone would be scared of them this year.

    Man at least I’m a Cowboys fan even though there’s a good chance they will end up being a disappointment as usual. At least there’s some hope though.

    never thought I would have to say this in this forum, but:

    Remember none of this matters. The Astros don't know you're rooting for them to win. The Astros don't affect your family or your cheddar.

    hoping for the best.. go astros. sigh.

    Well not even JJ Watt could avenge Correa in 2015...

    Dynamo just lost to KC also

    Crane needs to go beg Luhnow to come back as president.

    The gap between McCann and Gattis was smaller but their playing time was somehow more even than Maldy and Diaz

    We had a manager who doesn't believe in pitcher's personal catcher.

    Doubt he’d need to “beg”… not like Luhnow has tons of MLB job offers. He’d just need to get over his own issues with him and MLB/Manfred’s issues with him. Jeff is doing the soccer thing elsewhere, but certainly doesn’t compare to getting a second chance.

    They settled the lawsuit, no?

    Run it back with Hinch and Luhnow and give a massive middle finger to the media?

    I'll allow it.

    The Astros scandal was the last time baseball was truly relevant on a national level. They’ve been pounding Ohtani and the Yankees to no avail.

    Just like Manfred coerced Crane to get rid of everybody… he would be just the asshat to say “bring ‘em all back!”

    I hope Crane got his belly full of Jeff Bagwell. Imagine criticizing and working to change a system that resulted in two titles in six years!

    The more think about the more my spitey sense kicks in:

    Luhnow: Pres of Baseball Ops
    Hinch: Director of BB Development
    Brown: GM
    Cora: Manager
    Beltran: Bench Coach
    Maldy: Bullpen Pitchers and Catchers

    Special Assistants:

    Clemens: pitching
    Pettitte: holding runners on and fielding
    Bagwell/Biggio: infield and baserunning and fundamentals
    Berkman: snacks

    The Bagwell/Jackson as GM **** has been totally overplayed.

    Why is it that we can't beat guys making pennies on the dollar to our big money players?

    You don't think the time and money invested in Michael Brantley couldn't have been better used elsewhere?

    The "time?" who gives a ****.



    The 11M, that's debatable...who was the guy you signed instead?
