    Just wait until October. Nothing anyone here can do but complain about a team that is struggling... and we all know the Astros struggle in August.

    Astros baseball is like money in a stock... let it ride, don't get too low on the losses and be happy when the payoff (playoffs) hit.

    Crane is supposedly in New York for this series. He was reportedly upset after the game yesterday. Would love to know what he really is thinking about everything honestly (the lineups, handling of the pitching staff, etc.)

    the plan was to have him start with a clean inning

    but france ended up going into the game with bases loaded anyway.

    He is probably thinking "Damn, I shouldn't have fired Luhnow and Hinch"

    I agree, Luhnow was the most important one to keep on this team no matter what. The MLB knew what they were doing, some say the punishment wasn't enough. The punishment was franchise changing....

    It is impressively boggling that people can watch baseball their whole lives - citing statistics, having opinions, following every game and posting in every game thread, living and loving and hating and dying wiith their team - and still be absolutely and fundamentally oblivious to the very nature of the game itself.

    Gotta love it.
