Overreaction. They’ve barely covered 10% of the schedule. They won a 107 in 2019 with a bigger losing streak.
9 of the last 10. I haven't watched a game in 1.5 weeks or so.... Been too busy. Meant to watch today's game. Didn't seem like I've been missing much.
under reaction on your part. Astros were a .500 ball club in 2020. They look they same to me in 2021. 82-89 win team. Why is this team going to win 100 games?
They played 60 games in 2020. Without key pieces in their lineup as well as guys that drastically underperformed from their career numbers likely with small sample size bias. I’m not saying this team is going to win 100 game because that should never be taken for granted... but presuming players stay healthy and aren’t statistically significantly worse than their career norms, they’ll be in the thick of things. Oakland was 1-7. Now they’re 12-7. What they’re doing is just as statistically anomalous (both ways) as what the Astros have done.
They have a losing record since Dusty became manager. I expect the Stros to bounce back and win around 85-87 games.
This team has far more war and experience than the 2015 team (that topped off at that range). dusty isn’t the reason they’re not hitting right now.
I understand it's baseball and weird things happen. I also understand that there are a ton of games left, and that this team has a stacked lineup on paper, and that they are a lot better than this. But dammit, right now I don't want to hear any more ****ery about how Kyle Tucker's expected batting average is .273 and his expected slug is .56!! I don't want to hear that the 2019 Astros had a longer losing streak. I don't want to hear excuses about injuries, COVID, or Dusty Baker's flavored toothpicks. It's a hot garbage mess rn and I have no confidence in this team. "Don't worry, Rockies have the worst record in the league." - GREAT!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE ASTROS PLAY LATELY? We need to win a damn series starting tonight.
The naysayers already think 2017 was a fluke due to the trash can scandal. "Astros can't hit without trashcans"
ALDS: should have beat KC in ALDS, KC wins WS Nope WS Champions ALCS: beat up and lose to Boston WS: lose on heartbreaking bullsh!t to the Nats in 7 ALCS: lose to Tampa in 7 Who the **** is still cheating?
