    Eleven runs in 14.2 innings pitched. I've never seen a closer with numbers like that. And precious few pitchers of any kind.

    This team is just not fun to watch. They cause me a ton of grief.

    Not good. The Bagwell/Crane marquee signings really ****ed them this season. And Alex Bregman sucks balls.

    I watched about half the game and then just had it on as background noise as I did more important things around the house. They are ****ing bums and losers.

    Brutal loss. I'm not going to stop watching because I love the team but reality is they just aren't good and Espada is in over his head.

    Terrible f***ing loss

    Bullpen failed massively after Brown and the offense kept them in the game -- late inning lead.

    Bregman at cleanup is still stupid.

    Singleton continues to surprise, but Yordan still struggles, Diaz didn't do crap, and Loperfido was bad on offense and defense..

    Tough to watch this on a day-by-day basis.

    I’ve said this before but Hader had a 5.22 ERA in 2022. Stupid to sign him.

    Can we also blame it on those cheap looking Nike unis too?

    It's amazing how the Astros have rapidly become the worst ran sports organization in the city. The Hader signing might be the ultimate nail in the coffin in this mighty era. I felt after the signing that it would be hard to resign Tucker but hoped it could bring another WS win. Now they may have to be force to sell now and start a reset.

    Abreu has actually been pretty dominant for about a month

    But for a reliever if you ever give up a run, around here you are garbage

    Good news is all we need is a 10 game winning streak to get back to .500 for the first time ever this season.

    I’m not sure we have the tools to win 10 straight. This team is not the 2017-2019 Astros.

    Is it in Hader’s contract that he must give up a run every appearance?

    I’m pretty much over them at this point. I’m not spending another dime on this team until they get over .500 and actually start playing like men.

    This team is a f****ing joke.

    Pathetic disgraceful cowards.

    I’m looking at leadership I’m looking at you Espada.

    They definitely have the tools to win ten straight.
    Will they? Probably not.
    Morale has to be horrible after that loss.

    Too many weaknesses on this team to win 10 in a row.

    They haven’t won 4 in a row.

    Odds are they are done.

    Not defending him but his ERA is significantly smaller than the other two... you might as well have Dubon pitch there
