Another 1 run loss on the road. Well, our friends will say many things, to us, not the team. Us, the ones that see how pathetic they are playing on the road will scream at the team, not our "friends". That is the difference. Now, after a tough loss, those "friends" will dish us, instead of the team, JUST WAIT AND SEE
How much are the Stros paying Gregorson? He's not a closer. He's an 8th inning pitcher. My tummy hurts.
Correa lacks urgency in the field too often. He blew this one after e worked so hard to get the lead.
he's had 2 blown saves recently, and he still has the same # of blown saves as Casilla, Familia, Robertson, and 1 more than Soria. I'm not saying he's the best or as good as Robertson, but blown saves are a part of the job. And I don't think it means he's bad for the job.
Of course the guy who's been killing us the entire series gets the opportunity for the walk off cause you know baseball. 1-3 against the A's. yikes
I said after the road trip we were going to be in second place. Hope i am wrong, still 2 games left, but does not look like it.
Talented young team but missing pieces. Cough... Closer. I believe in this team but things like this will ruin a post season. You get to post season to win... And if a team is down 1 run to Astros in 9th... They really don't even have to worry. That dudes will is broken.
If the Chris Bassitt's of the world look good, what is MadBum gonna do? Chris Heston might throw another no-hitter!
He is an 8th inning guy, but he is the best we have for that closing job. Now, we went hard for a closer because the organization knew they needed a better one. Some will defend Gregerson, but he is a great set up, and an ok closer.
By the end of next week we could be down 3-4 games. Barely holding onto wild card. Young team might blow it.

It looks ugly when the closer blows a save but this offense was mostly garbage against the A's starters. They have to hit better with runners in scoring position. You can't wait around every game for a home run to account for all of your offense.
they disappear when things are going bad, when it gets better they come and insult us, the ones that are talking ABOUT THE TEAM PERFORMANCE. Then bad again, disappear, and come back just to trash us, instead of saying some bad things about the team that is playing bad. There is nothing wrong to speak about the team when is going bad, or when is going good. Let people talk, is frustrating to have a 3 and 16 record in last 19 games, going to SF. Come on guys, talk about the team, not about forum members. Talk about "losers" and "idiots"? What is going on, right now ALL ASTROS FANS SHOULD BE PISSED, unhappy and speaking their minds. Imagine if that was going on with the Yankees. Do you think those fans would smile and say nothing? I know we have NEVER won a World Series, but that means that we have to act as fans that never won a world series??? Be complacent? Not me.
