    THREE consecutive games the pitching has surrendered the winning runs in the FIRST inning.

    Bullpen/Jabreu blew the game the before that.

    Astros now 0-7 in one-run games, 4-game losing streak, haven't won since JV pitched.

    If the Astros can win tomorrow, that’s two straight series they didn’t get swept.

    Offense is offensive
    Defense can’t defend
    Pitching can’t pitch

    What Silasism will Joey give us tonight?

    “I thought we tried hard.”

    Front office clearly doesn’t trust Diaz

    It's gonna be a long disappointing season if we don't turn this around soon. I'm not giving up this soon. Come on guys!! Give us something to cheer about!

    Espada gets fired in May. No way I thought it would be this bad. I guess the Dusty haters still think anyone can manage the Astros. Sometimes experience means something.

    Any average manager can.

    Dust Mites love to coddle themselves by thinking people said "anyone could manage this team".

    7-18. The Astros have only started this badly once before....

    That year they lost 111 games. (2013)

    Because people DID say it. They literally called the Astros “idiot proof” prior to now.

    The only "idiot proof" reference I heard was the '22 bullpen.

    But go ahead and conflate whatever soothes your feelings.

    Yordan Alvarez really needs some time off. Very Tired looking at Bat. Rest is needed for some of the Hitters.

    Rest
    Yordan
    Pena
    Seth Martinez

    Jose Abreu - Lost Cause

    Positives

    - Jose Altuve hit a Home Run

    - Alex Bregman hit 2nd in the Lineup and Got a RBI Hit.

    - Yordan Alvarez bats 3rd, Kyle Tucker bats 4th, Yainer Diaz bats 5th, Jeremy Pena bats 5th

    - Finally Lengthened the Lineup, instead of being Top Heavy. RISP Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker are Specialists Batting 3rd and 4th.

    - Ryan Pressly Looked Great with 2 Strikeouts

    - Jon Singleton got 2 hits

    - Everyone got a hit except for Myers
