    Pujols came back to life that last season somehow. One of the most remarkable seasons honestly. Dude was completely washed for like 5 seasons and then posts a .895 OPS with 24 bombs.

    I'm sure it was Dusty's fault somehow.

    Was the dude that’s always posting to do things for Christ here tonight?
    Maybe that was the difference:)

    Pitchers are just giving Abreu a healthy diet of fastballs cause he can't catch up to them. Even the guys without great mlb fastballs know that's all they need to throw him

    You can add Singleton and Kessinger to that list

    It's not a good roster...it has some absolute studs, but it's not a good roster build at all

    Anyone have a screenshot or link to when abreu was pinch hit for?
    Was he really teary eyed in the dugout?

    Wasn’t there a story that they told him he wouldn’t be tested for the rest of the season?

    Also I’m curious as to how many more precipitous declines we would have all seen in the past 30 years if PED’s weren’t around.

    I heard he fled the country after we lost the first two to Texas

    I remember seeing the Goldilocks balls were going to him and judge.

    There’s better **** about Astros to argue with you beside asking our closer to go 2 inns in a tie game, 12th game into the season. I would even ask him (or any closer) to do that until September when season is on the line. This is April baseball brother!!!

    There is the Mendoza line (.200) and now there is the Abreu line (.100).

    He has to start playing better, if nothing else for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    That was a roller coaster ride, after we were up by 3 I thought, OK, here we go, lets get on a tear and get back to .500 and then they score and we lose again. I will beat a dead horse but man, Abreau needs to sit down for a week and Singleton just needs to go....didnt Loperfido play 1st during JV`s game on Sunday? Royals are a good young team but come on man, the Stros just seem to be missing a spark..................I need the pep in the step and some emotion. It`s still early I know but dam, lets kick this into gear and take the next 2

    It's probably best to not have an idea when they play. Easier that way, lol.
