    What’s up with us giving up so many 1st inning runs lately?

    Out of all our players hurt this year, why is the worst player in the team the most resilient? Maldy is literally useless as a player. He brings absolutely nothing to any team, but only the Astros would keep him around.

    The offense will fold this game. We lose 2 out of 3 easily. May get swept by the Mariners but I think 1 out of 3 sounds about right.

    We will end up with around 88 wins max

    Maldy’s supposed value is his defense and game-calling. He is **** at both. Why the **** is Diaz benched AGAIN?

    Because Dusty Baker would rather do things his way than win games.

    Maldonado's pitcher ERA would be even higher than Diaz if their own errors counting against --- passed balls.

    That last one was a lazy f***** attempt at catching the pitch.

    If Astros lose this series against the Royals. Just fold it up because they'll also lose to the Mariners easily.

    I knew this was coming, Dusty was bragging on Moldy in the pregame how he straightens pitchers out and he fixed Javier. I knew it.

    You can't depend on a single starter on this team. Who's fault is that?

    It’s not even that he sucks, which obviously he does, it’s that we are benching a guy hitting .287 with 23 homers (on a 35-40 pace) that is also superior defensively for him. We aren’t talking about a Christian Vazquez or someone marginally better here instead.

    Assuming we aren’t stupid enough to bring him back, he wont get picked up by any other team outside maybe a backup role limited to 15-20 games tops. Meanwhile there are at least 27 other teams that would be starting Diaz over their current catcher no questions.

    This team is more apt to go almost scoreless than get 5 runs now.
