    Everyone needs to go back and read game threads from last April. Tucker was a total bust, we were screwed without JV, Click did nothing and is ruining what Luhnow built, etc. Same stuff. Won the AL pennant.

    There was more reason to be concerned last year. We knew we wouldn't have JV. McCullers and Valdez were coming back from injuries and not sure what to expect. Were counting on several other inexperienced starters and a very young bullpen. Replaced Springer with Straw which is much larger gap offensively and defensively than replacing Correa with Peña. If the Astros had resigned Correa and he was having the same slow start he's having in Minnesota then the Astros offense would be even worse right now.

    Not everybody that points out the terrible start necessarily thinks the season is gone.

    This. It's a bad start to the season, it's not over though. Just mostly over :)

    Nothing is over until we decide it is!
    Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

    Bittersweet. Forever love George. Used to love seeing him start off games for us with a dinger. Now he does it against him. No ill will to him as a person, selfishly hope he signs a one year deal with us at the end of his career.

    Hopefully Urquidy can get out of this because like Odorizzi, could be over before they bat lol

    I hate pitchers who wear single digit numbers. I'm sorry but I wish it was banned in the big leagues.

    The trend continues. Too many pitches by the astros.
